portable buildings

pcdreams · #1 08/13/09, 11:01 PM

can anyone recommend or at least let me know of any portable building suppliers around Westfield, VT.. I guess Newport would be the closest town of size.

We're looking to purchase a 16x24 shell.. Something we can have delivered and finish the inside ourselves.

We'll be heading that way next week and if possible would like to get er done before the snow flies, or at least get setup for next spring.

That's a nice area. I have family in Newport and Derby. I'll call them and see if they can help.

Doubt that you can get a 16 ft delivered , most states allow up to 14 with permits, normally 12 is as wide as it get, perhaps they coiuld build a 16 on site......

If your state is like mine you would need escort vehicles, special and costly permits, etc.

I agree that site built would be best. Many small building manufacturers will do on site work for larger structures.

It's not exactly a portable building, it is a building kit. But check these guys out:

I tried calling my cousins tonight. It seems they left Wednesday on a two week vacation. I'm sorry I wasn't able to help.

I would think site built would be the way to go...it wouldn't take a small crew but just a couple of days or so to knock together a 16x24 shell...

We had an amish crew knock together a 20X24 2-story "barn" for us. Took them the better part of two whole days (even counting dumping the semi-load of wood over the side of the hill and having to pick it all back up....oops!) and cost a whole whopping $6K. I think we might have paid maybe $300 extra and had more windows and a skylight put in, but the barn "package"....wood and labor....was $6K. *I* couldn't have bought the wood for that amount!
