Turnkey Site Prep & Delivery Checklist
At Inco Steel Buildings, Inc., our nearly 50-year reputation for structural integrity is built entirely by the talent and discipline of our personnel. To support our expanding turn-key design-build pipeline across North Carolina, we are actively seeking driven, highly qualified professionals who share our zero-compromise approach to premium quality control and construction craftsmanship.
Long-term structural integrity begins long before the first steel panel or heavy timber beam arrives at your job site. A Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) or custom post-frame structure demands precision grading, absolute soil compaction, and flawless clear access lines. Our field operations team verifies that every build location satisfies these strict pre-delivery checklist parameters:
- ✓ Freight Delivery & Heavy Crane Access: Job sites must maintain a clear, level, and unobstructed path at least 14 feet high and 12 feet wide. This allows commercial flatbeds, concrete mixers, and multi-ton structural steel crane rigs to maneuver safely without getting bogged down in soft soil.
- ✓ Clearing, Grubbing, & Mass Grading: The construction footprint must be entirely stripped of topsoil, organic debris, roots, and rocks. Mass earthwork balancing must bring the subgrade to exact engineered design elevations, extending a minimum of 5 feet beyond the building's final wall lines.
- ✓ Utility Clearance & Overhead Boundaries: All underground utility coordinates must be professionally located, staked, and verified before earthmoving equipment mobilizes. Furthermore, there must be absolute zero interference from overhead power lines or low tree canopies over the staging zone.
- ✓ Structural Soil Compaction & Drainage: To support heavy foundational concrete slab margins, soil must be compacted to strict engineering density values. The surrounding pad area must be sloped away from the building perimeter to ensure proper rainwater runoff control.
- ✓ Optional Land Clearing Add-On Services: For projects requiring professional site preparation, Inco offers comprehensive, turnkey land clearing and extensive excavation management for an additional fee. We are happy to coordinate an advanced onsite consultation to physically audit and review your property's specific grading layouts.
