Landowner Requirements for Metal Buildings

Building a metal building requires several steps on the part of the landowner

Before meeting with Inco Steel Buildings, Inc., landowners must do some preparation. To accomplish this, several steps must be taken.

These steps should be completed by the landowner, and not the contractor/builder, long before pre-construction begins. Builders are not land owners, so they are not responsible for the land.

The landowner must first contact their local government planning department to obtain approval for their metal building, as well as any necessary variances.

Variance: Do I need a variance on my land? Is my land eligible for a variance?

Zoning variances allow property owners to use their land differently from the zoning regulations. If you plan to build or use your property in a way that’s not permitted by the existing zoning regulations, you might need a variance. The eligibility of your land depends on whether there is an “unusual hardship” or practical difficulty caused by the zoning restrictions.
