Decisions and information

At Sapphire Construction, the building contractor needs to know about your building. Begin by figuring out this basic information and we’ll add our design and pricing expertise to the project.

• What size and dimensions would the building be?
• Where is the building site?
• How will the building be used?
• What specific features and accessories do you want?
• What is your timeline for getting started?

A. Size and Dimensions

Sketch out the areas and measurements required for the activities and purpose of the building. A pole building can accommodate one or two floors, lofts, mezzanines period. Estimate the width, length, and height of your building.

B. Building Site

Do you have ownership of a building site? What zip code is the building site located in?

C. Building Purpose

Although your building may have multiple uses, determine the primary purposes for constructing it. Does it fit into any of these categories? Garage and Hobby; Farm/Storage/Shop; Residential/House/Cabin; Equestrian; Commercial; Dairy; Beef; Hog; Repair; Warranty; or something else?

D. Accessories and Features

Do your best to explain your vision for your new pool building. Is it a simple large expanse or is it a house? How will the exterior look, including the entrance? Will you add lean-tos, porches, loading and unloading ramps, overhead doors, or walk doors. How many?

Think about natural lighting, windows, and flooring. What specific textures and materials do you envision? Do you want vaulted ceilings or a loft or mezzanine? What rooms do you need? Offices, restrooms, kitchen?

Importantly, will the building’s purposes warrant plumbing and electric access? What type of landscape will fit into the design?

E. Timelines

Do you need your building sooner or is there no hurry? The construction industry can get backed up depending on demand and timing may affect the cost.
