Build On Site:
We Build It Where You Want It
Gate too tight to get a finished building through? A slope, a tight turn or a row of trees between the road and the spot? Want something taller or wider than we can legally haul down the road? We bring the crew, the materials and the tools to your property and build it right there.
When Build On Site
Makes Sense
Build-on-site isn't for every project. If your lot has good access and a standard building fits, hauled is faster and usually cheaper. Here's when on-site wins.
Your Access Won't Take A Truck
A narrow gate, a tight driveway, a backyard behind the house with no way in. If a finished building can't get to the spot, we build it at the spot.
Too Wide Or Too Tall To Haul
We haul up to 16 feet wide. Past that, or where a steeper roof pitch puts it over legal height on the road, building in place is the way it happens.
Outside Our Standard Lineup
Custom sizes and one-off layouts we don't stock get built on your property.
More Customization Options
Without haul dimensions to design around, we can do steeper roof pitches, taller walls, wider footprints and architectural details impossible to haul down the highway.
Concrete Pad Foundation
Want a concrete floor? Pour your pad ahead of time and we build directly on it. Wood framing on a concrete foundation, best of both worlds.
What You'll Need
Ready
A reasonably level spot prepped the same way we'd block a hauled building, a path the crew can get materials down, power for their tools if you have it, and any permit your county requires. Your salesperson goes through all of it with you before the build gets scheduled.
Anything We Build In The Plant
Plus Bigger
Anything that ships from our McColl, SC plant can be built on-site, plus configurations the plant can't haul.
Standard Sheds
For customers whose access, HOA rules or roof-pitch requirements rule out a hauled delivery. Same shed, same LP SmartSide, same framing, just assembled where it'll live.
Custom Shops
Anything 20 feet wide or larger. 20x24, 24x32, 24x40, working spaces sized for the tools, equipment and projects you actually use, not what fits on a trailer.
Outdoor Retreats
She sheds, backyard offices, pool houses, hobby spaces, all the build-out we offer on hauled retreats, just built in place. Often the answer when the property doesn't allow hauled delivery.
Pavilions & Covered Structures
Open-air or partially enclosed. Useful for outdoor kitchens, patio shade, equipment cover, configurations too wide or tall to haul down the road.
Specialty Configurations
Stepped roofs, dormers, custom porches, multi-room layouts. The architectural details that don't survive a haul or wouldn't be road-legal in the first place.
What We Don't Do
We aren't a residential home builder. For custom sheds, shops and outdoor retreats up through the sizes we work in, build-on-site opens up options. For a full house build, that's a different specialty.
Permits And
Setbacks
Permit rules are local. Square-footage thresholds, setbacks and what counts as an accessory structure change from one county to the next, and sometimes from one side of a road to the other. Your county planning or building department is the only place to get a real answer, so call them before you order and ask what they need at your address.
What we bring to that conversation is the engineering. Every Premium building has a stamped engineer print available on request, certifying the building to 150 mph wind speeds and laying out the blocking and anchoring schedule. That's usually the document a permit office wants to see. We have stamped prints for North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia, and there's no charge for them.
Your dealer has been through this with a lot of customers nearby and is happy to talk it through with you. Just get the final word from the county.
How Long
It Takes
Most build-on-site projects run 2 to 4 weeks from order, and the crew is usually on your property one to three days. Weather and plant volume can move that a little.
Manufacturer Pricing,
Not Contractor Rates
Most customers don't realize this: a general contractor builds your custom shed and charges contractor rates, labor markup, overhead, profit margin, all stacked in. We build it on your property for the price of the building plus a build fee that starts at $2,000. What the fee runs on your project depends on the size and the site, so your salesperson prices it with you.
On a 20x24 or larger custom build, the savings versus hiring a general contractor is usually thousands of dollars. You're paying manufacturer pricing, not construction markup.
Build on site is a cash or financed purchase. If you'd rather not write one check, we work with a lender that handles the financing side, and you can get an answer before you order. Your salesperson will walk you through what fits.
Why Wood Wins
For Most Builds
A lot of customers considering build-on-site also look at metal buildings. Here's the honest comparison.
Wood Build (Speedy)
- LP SmartSide siding, real material, 50-year warranty
- Continuous wood framing, mount anything anywhere
- Shelves, cabinets, pegboards wherever you want them
- Interior finishing is straightforward
- Insulation, electrical, flooring all go in cleanly
- Best if: you'll actually use, customize and finish the building

Build On Site FAQ
The building is priced the same way it would be if we hauled it, plus a build fee that starts at $2,000. Bigger and more involved builds run higher. Send us the size and the address and we'll price it.
We haul up to 16 feet wide, and once you're past that the only way to get it in your yard is to build it there. We've put up 20x20 retreats, 24x32 shops and bigger, with 20x24, 24x32 and 24x40 as common sizes. There are still limits on what a crew can build on a given site, so send us the size you're after and we'll price it and tell you straight whether it works.
Yes. Build on site is available on cash and financed orders, and we can point you to financing if you want it. Talk to your salesperson about which way makes the most sense for your build. See all financing options →
