These are proposed exterior sizes. Usable internal space is smaller. Structural details, roof height, site placement, and local requirements need approval for every selected size.
Access width, carrying distance, grade, existing structures, soil conditions, and the foundation. Site preparation, utility connections and local requirements are reviewed before a written scope is accepted.
Permits and zoning requirements depend on the property and jurisdiction. A small footprint does not guarantee exemption. Plans, applications, fees, and approval responsibilities must be written into the final scope. Scheduling follows the required approvals and available crew capacity.
