Planning guide

The building price is only one part of the project.

Ask these first

What will the structure actually be used for?
Does the intended use require insulation or residential-code work?
What foundation and site preparation are required?
Can the assembled structure reach the site?
What utilities, permits and finish work sit outside the package?

House of LAS rule

Compare total project scope, not just the structure price. Package type, delivery, foundation, utilities, permits and finish work can materially change the final cost.
