Planning your North Carolina project

Find the authority for the project address

North Carolina’s Office of State Fire Marshal provides a map of local building and fire permitting authorities. Its guidance explains that users can search an address and inspect municipal boundaries and contact details.

Start with the actual site address and building use. Send the relevant authority’s checklist and complete review comments with the engineering inquiry. A state code reference does not identify every local submission requirement.

Custom metal building design

Engineering for the building’s dimensions, intended use and structural configuration, coordinated with the project drawings and available material information.

02

Warehouses & industrial buildings

Structural engineering for storage, workshop, manufacturing and distribution uses. Provide the layout and operational requirements that affect the structure.

03

Barndominiums & residential structures

Engineering for metal homes, barndominiums, garages and other residential metal building applications.

Make the request easier to review

What to send for metal building engineering

Share the available documents together, and identify anything still being prepared by another member of the project team.

  • Project address, building use and dimensions
  • Building layouts and available manufacturer drawings
  • Known site information and intended openings
  • Permit comments and the schedule you are working toward
Choose the right starting point

New plans, an existing structure, or review comments?

Planning new work

Send the intended use, available survey, preliminary layout and scope requested by the owner or designer. Identify documents being developed by the manufacturer, architect or other consultants.

Changing existing work

Include existing plans, photographs and available permit records. Describe what is changing and what will remain. Note any information about the existing structure that has not yet been confirmed.

Responding to comments

Send the complete comment letter and the exact plan version reviewed. Identify previous responses and changes requested since that review so the disciplines can be coordinated.

Before you begin

Common project questions

Use the project’s actual records and agency requests to establish the engineering scope.

What types of metal buildings can you engineer?

Projects include commercial warehouses, industrial buildings, agricultural structures, barndominiums, garages, carports and other custom metal structures.

Can you help with permitting documentation?

We provide engineering drawings and supporting documentation within the agreed scope. Permitting requirements and approval decisions remain with the reviewing jurisdiction.

Do you fabricate or construct metal buildings?

No. We provide engineering and design services. Fabrication, construction and installation are performed by your selected contractors.
