Metal Buildings
Piedmont, OK
A 50 × 80 commercial shop with a front office build-out, permitted and sequenced so the owner could open before the lease ran out at the old location.
Scope
Fixed scope, in writing, before a shovel hit dirt. Here is what that covered on this build.
A commercial building is a different animal than a farm shop: plan review, ADA clearances, exit and restroom requirements, and a certificate of occupancy standing between the owner and his first day of business. The hard constraint was the calendar — his lease at the old shop had an end date, and every week past it meant paying for two buildings. The long-lead items, overhead doors and rooftop HVAC, were quoting out past the date he needed to be open.
We flipped the usual order and bought the schedule first: overhead doors and HVAC units were ordered the week the contract was signed, before dirt work started, so the lead times ran concurrent with construction instead of after it. The office build-out was framed and roughed while the shell went up around it, and we walked inspections in phases — footing, slab, framing, trades — so no single failed item could stall the whole building. The ADA restroom and exit path were locked on paper in plan review, where changes cost ink instead of concrete.
The building passed final inspection with time left on the old lease, and the move happened on a weekend between work weeks. The trench drain keeps washdown water out of the work areas, the office puts a real front door on the business, and the third bay is rented out until the owner grows into it.
