Choice offers free custom quotes and an online 3D design experience as part of the purchasing process.
What happens after I place my order?
After your order is processed, the project moves toward engineering, production, scheduling, delivery, and installation through our manufacturing partners. Scheduling begins once required site pictures and permit information, when applicable, have been received, and the scheduling department typically contacts you 3–5 days before your scheduled installation.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOU ORDER
Is delivery and installation included with my metal building?
Yes. Delivery and professional installation are included on properly leveled, site-prepared land. Your installation site needs to be ready before the crew arrives.
Who delivers and installs my building?
Choice Metal Buildings serves as your dealer and customer-facing point of contact, while our manufacturing partners coordinate engineering, production, delivery, and professional installation of the finished building.
When will I know my installation date?
The scheduling department typically contacts you 3 to 5 days before your scheduled installation to provide final scheduling details and answer any last-minute questions. Scheduling begins once required site pictures and permit information, when applicable, have been received.
Can my delivery or installation date change?
Yes. Installation schedules can change because of weather, installation crews running behind, accidents, mechanical issues, or other circumstances outside the installer’s control.
GETTING YOUR PROPERTY READY
Do I need a permit for my metal building?
Permit requirements vary by state, county, and local jurisdiction. The customer is responsible for determining whether a permit is required before placing the order. If permit information is required for scheduling, it must be provided before the installation process can move forward.
How should I prepare my site before installation?
Your installation area should be level, properly prepared, and clear of debris or other obstructions that could interfere with the installation crew. Delivery and installation are included on properly leveled, site-prepared land.
Does the installation site need to be level?
Yes. The site should be level before the installation crew arrives. An uneven or improperly prepared site can create installation problems and may prevent the building from being installed as intended.
Do I need to send site pictures before my building is scheduled?
Yes, when requested. The scheduling process begins after the required site pictures and any applicable permit information have been received. This helps confirm that the site is ready before the installation is scheduled.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER
What does my deposit do?
Your deposit allows Choice Metal Buildings to begin processing and fulfilling your order and locks in pricing for up to 6 months, according to the current Terms of Service.
When is the remaining balance due?
Generally, for orders over $15,000, 50% of the remaining balance is due at the time of scheduling, with the rest due at delivery and installation.
Do you offer financing for metal buildings?
Yes. Choice Metal Buildings offers access to third-party payment options, including traditional financing and rent-to-own programs. Approval, rates, terms, and eligibility are determined by the respective financing provider.
Can I finance or rent-to-own instead of paying the full amount upfront?
Yes. Customers can explore traditional financing through HFS Financial or a rent-to-own option through RTO National. These programs are handled by independent third-party providers and have their own application, approval, and program requirements.
MAKE THE BUILDING FIT YOUR NEEDS
Can I customize the size and height of my metal building?
Yes. Choice Metal Buildings offers highly configurable structures, and our team can help you choose the width, length, height, roof style, and other features that fit your property and intended use.
Can I add garage doors, walk-in doors, and windows?
Yes. Depending on the building configuration, you can add features such as roll-up garage doors, walk-in doors, windows, and other access points. These options can be positioned around the way you plan to use the building.
What roof styles, colors, and other options are available?
Available options can include different roof styles, exterior colors, trim, doors, windows, insulation, enclosed sides or ends, and other building-specific upgrades. Available choices can vary by building type and installation location.
Can I design my metal building online before requesting a quote?
Yes. Our online 3D design tool lets you experiment with the building type, size, roof style, colors, doors, windows, enclosures, and other options in real time. Once you like the design, you can save it or submit it for a free custom quote.
