Production Timeline

Red iron metal buildings have a wide range of factors that influence the production timeline when the job is well-planned, organized and erected by skilled professionals.

Typical factors include the building size, and type, the complexity of the project, the delivery of special-order materials and products, weather conditions, the time of year building is being constructed, and building component specifications.

Critical factors beyond Inco Steel Buildings, Inc control include the other parties’ timely decision-making, their cooperation during the entire process, their completion of land use and zoning approvals, and their scheduling and supply of land surveyor’s documents and plat plan during the pre-construction phase.
