Preparing Your Site for a Commercial Garage or Warehouse Installation
When you’re putting up a large commercial building — whether it’s a 40×60 garage, a 50×100 warehouse, or bigger — the success of the project starts long before the crew arrives on site.
Here’s what we check before installation so the building goes up fast, square, and built to last.
1. Site Readiness
- Is the site level and compacted?
- Is there proper drainage to keep water from pooling?
- Can delivery trucks access the site (40’ clearance)?
2. Foundation Prep
- Concrete slab cured at least 14–28 days
- Anchor points marked
- For gravel pads: well-compacted base and correct thickness
3. Local Code Compliance
- Wind and snow load ratings checked
- Risk category (Cat 1 vs Cat 2) confirmed
- Permits obtained where required
4. Building Access & Orientation
- Door placement based on lot layout
- Overhead clearance for large equipment
- Sun and wind direction considered for comfort and efficiency
5. Customer Expectations
- Walking through installation timeline
- Reviewing weather-related delays
- Answering questions about maintenance and warranty
