Building Smart, Safe, and by the Book

At Heavy Duty Metal Buildings, we believe every successful project starts with a strong foundation—and that includes meeting all local codes, regulations, and permitting requirements. Whether you’re building a carport, garage, barn, or commercial facility, our team ensures that every structure is legally sound and built to pass inspections the first time.

Navigating permits and zoning rules can be overwhelming, especially with varying regulations across counties and municipalities in North Carolina and neighboring states. That’s why we take the guesswork out of it—handling the permit process for you from start to finish.

Why Permits Matter

Building permits aren’t just red tape—they’re essential for:

Ensuring your structure meets local safety and construction codes
Protecting your property investment during future appraisals or sales
Avoiding legal issues, stop-work orders, or fines
Ensuring proper zoning compliance for residential, commercial, or agricultural land
Confirming safe distances from property lines, utilities, and easements

Cutting corners on permits may save time in the short term—but it can cost big later. We help you do it right the first time.

Our Permit & Compliance Services Include:

Zoning & Property Research We check your land's zoning classification, setbacks, usage restrictions, and easements to ensure your project complies with all regulations.
Building Code Compliance We design each structure to meet or exceed the International Building Code (IBC) and local amendments, ensuring long-term safety and durability.
Permit Application Assistance We prepare and submit necessary drawings, engineering documents, and site plans to local authorities on your behalf.
Inspection Preparation We coordinate with inspectors and make sure your site is ready for review, reducing delays and costly rework.
HOA or Covenant Support If you live in a community with homeowner’s association guidelines, we can help you gather and submit the required approvals.

Who Needs a Permit?

Generally, a permit is required for:

Permanent carports or garages with foundations
Barns and agricultural buildings with utility access
Any structure over a certain square footage (varies by city/county)
Buildings with electrical, plumbing, or HVAC installations
Structures placed within regulated flood zones or easements

We can help determine if your project qualifies for permit exemption or fast-track approval.
