Applying for and pulling a permit often requires a few trips to the building department to acquire documents and get signatures.
Since our builders are the actual craftsmen, it isn't always easy for them to fit permitting applications into their schedules.
If you would like help with the permitting process feel free to reach out to your Urban Sheds builder and they will be happy to help you for a fee.
There are three typical options for site preparation.
-
Blocking (used for smaller sheds with a slightly unlevel area)
-
Stone pad with retaining wall (aesthetically pleasing and good for larger structures)
-
Cement Slab (good for permanent structures such as a home office)
-
The benefit of working directly with your Urban Sheds builder, is that the options are unlimited.

For a shed to remain structurally sound over a long period of time it needs to have a solid base. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, but some of the most common are:
