Frequent Questions

Have questions? Feel free to reach out to any of our locations if you don't find your answers here.

What Do I Need To Do To Prepare For My Steel Structure Installation?

Our innovative order processing system will make it very difficult for you to accidentally schedule delivery for your building if your site is not ready. Reschedule and restocking fees tend to create a very unpleasant experience for our customers, for this reason, before offering you a date for installation, our team will request pictures of your site to be reviewed for any possible issues that may represent a setback for the crew, however, we will not be able to tell how level your site is by means of these pictures.  

You may use the following checklist in order to make sure you are prepared for your building arrival:

  • Check with your city or county building official to make sure a permit is not required for your structure.
  • Verify  that your site is level, or within 3” of level if the building is to be installed directly on the ground. You may request a leveling brochure from your project manager during this process.  
  • Mark any utility lines underneath the planned installation site, and make your project manager aware so a note can be added to your work order. Cabins & More of Texas will not be responsible for damage to any unmarked lines.  
  • Clear any obstacles around your installation site, make sure that the installation crew has a level clearance of at least 3’ all the way around the site, or 13’ if a lift is required for the installation of the unit.  
  • Have payment ready before the installation crew arrives, and make sure  an adult representative is able to inspect and sign for the building upon completion.  
What If My Building Requires A Permit?

As a customer, you are responsible for verifying any city, county, or HOA requirements regarding your building.  

Site specific engineering requires a quote from the engineer and may take up to four weeks.  All address specific drawings must be paid up front and are non-refundable.  

How Long Do I Need To Wait For My Building To Be Installed?

We are proud to say that for most part of the year, our delivery times on standard buildings remain at 2-4 weeks. As expected, the demand for our building structures may have an effect on our schedule and make those estimated delivery times fluctuate during different seasons of the year. Consult with your Cabins & More of Texas Rep to make sure what the current delivery times are at your time of purchase, and remember, these are only estimates, and are subject to change based on inclement weather or other major events.  

Special components and commercial structures will always have a different ETA than standard structures. ETA’s are based off  the date on the last signed revision received by our office, or the date we receive verification that your site is ready for installation!

What Is The Delivery And Installation Process?

Once a price and a design is agreed upon, your Cabins & More of Texas Rep will provide you with a contract for your building, which will include all important information regarding permitting, site requirements, site preparations, payment options, delivery, and warranty on your new structure.  

Once the contract is signed, the project manager will begin working on your project!

The project manager will reach out to confirm and ensure that everything is correct before pushing the order over to production.  

If your order has any special components which we don’t normally stock the office will need to collect in full for those specific components prior to placing the order.  

During this time, unlike any other company in the industry, your project manager will provide you with site preparation information, and request clear pictures of the site where your building is to be installed, as well as concrete dimensions if your building is to be installed on concrete.  

If your order is $10,000 or above, your project manager will schedule a site inspection, at no additional cost to you, in order to make sure that the building process is smooth and you are not stuck with any additional fees on the day of installation as a result of site issues which could have been prevented.  

If a permit is required by your city, the crew will need a copy of the permit to have with them on the day of installation in case of an inspection.  

Once a date for installation is offered, our team will do everything in their hands to deliver the building on time to you, should any changes arise, our team will communicate with you to make other schedule arrangements.  

How Do I Purchase One Of Your Buildings?

The order process is simple, and it begins by contacting one of our authorized Cabins & More of Texas Representatives or visiting one of our locations.

The Cabins & More of Texas Rep will be trained to assist you in designing the perfect building and will help you discover the right building options to meet or exceed your needs by using our online pricing tool which will provide you with a generic visual of your project before you move forward with your investment.
