FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I convert a metal building into living space?
While metal buildings can serve as shells for living spaces, converting to residential use requires meeting residential building codes for insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, egress, and fire safety. This is a significant project beyond our standard scope but we can build the shell.
Can I run a business from a metal building?
Yes. Many NC small businesses operate from metal buildings. Ensure your zoning allows commercial use and obtain any required business permits and certificates of occupancy.
What's the most creative use you've seen?
We've seen everything from home recording studios to indoor dog parks to vintage car museums. If you can dream it, a metal building can probably house it.
