What to know
Use the information below to plan your next step.
Inspect the full delivery route
Measure gates, narrow passages, and turns. Identify branches, power lines, slopes, soft ground, septic systems, drain fields, fences, and underground utilities.
Prepare a stable location
Choose a level, well-drained area and confirm the foundation or blocking method required for the building and property. Do not assume site preparation or grading is included.
Verify local requirements
Permit, setback, easement, anchoring, and foundation rules vary. Contact the authority responsible for the exact property and mark utilities before work begins.
