Metal buildings in Kentucky.

Yes. Our coverage includes the whole state.

Check with your city or county. Kentucky has a statewide residential code, but for homes and their accessory buildings, permits and inspections are required only where local ordinances call for them. Zoning setbacks can apply either way.

It can be. Kentucky’s building code does not apply to a farm building used to run the farm if it is outside city limits, is not used for retail sales and is not a regular workplace for 10 or more people. A building used as a home garage does not become a farm building because it sits on farmland. Ask your county how it applies the exemption.

Much of central and south-central Kentucky sits on limestone with sinkholes and shallow rock. Rock can stop standard ground anchors, and a sinkhole or wet low spot is a poor place for a building or slab. We review the installation surface before confirming the anchoring.

We review your building, location and site details before confirming timing. You prepare a level site and arrange required local approvals. In eastern Kentucky especially, narrow roads, hollows, steep drives, creek crossings and tight turns can make delivery harder. A quote request does not reserve an installation date.

Yes. Contact Kentucky 811 at least two working days before work starts. Tell them where the building will sit and that ground anchors will be installed. Marks are good for 21 days.

Lines you own, such as power to a barn, are not marked through 811.
