Delivery Information

THE SITE MUST BE ACCESSIBLE.

If there’s room and the ground is firm enough, we back your building right into place with our truck and 24′ trailer.  In tighter locations or if the ground is soft, we will leave our truck on the street or your driveway and move the building into place with our Mule building mover. (See video here.) If we can’t get in, we can build on site (usually for 20% extra).

THE SITE SHOULD BE REASONABLY LEVEL.

We provide either treated 4×6 blocks or concrete blocks and shims to block and level your building. If you have a preference tell us. If we have to use extra blocks because your site is not level, the driver may add an additional charge, and if we have to stack blocks for than a foot high, we may ask you to sign a waiver exempting us from any responsibility if the blocks ever sink or tip. We have found that many people underestimate the slope in their yard. If in doubt, check with a string level.  Remember that the greatest slope is usually between opposite corners.

WATCH OVERHEAD CLEARANCE IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND YARD.

Sometimes our customers forget to look up! When we arrive with the building ready to go, we find that trees branches, overhead wires, or even the house eaves get in the way. We don’t come prepared to move houses–or even trim trees. We’ll do our best. If there is extra work, extra charges may apply at the driver’s discretion.

Here is a chart that shows the loaded height of various buildings. We assume about a 32″ measurement on our delivery trailer:
