Frequently Asked Questions

What Building do you Build?

The straightforward answer is AZ Custom Buildings. Our Founder and CEO collaborated with engineers to develop a post-frame building design that met his standards for quality and structure. This ensures that every building sold is one he would personally choose to construct for himself.

How did you Land on this Design?

During our time in the industry, we decided to select the finest elements from the best buildings currently available on the market and integrate them into our building design.

Do Truss and Post Spacing Make That Big of a Difference in My Building’s Structural Integrity?

In summary, using more lumber results in a sturdier structure. By positioning our posts at 8-foot intervals and the trusses at 4-foot intervals, we guarantee that each building complies with the highest industry standards, ensuring its durability for a lifetime.

Can You Build a Post Frame Building without Putting Posts in the Ground?

Yes, this method is known as a Bracket Building. Instead of digging a traditional 4-foot post hole and pouring concrete at the bottom, we prepare and pour a footing followed by the building's slab and attach the posts to the footing using anchor bolts.

When is a Bracket Building a Better Option?

A Bracket building is a superior choice for constructing Barndominiums, as it keeps all lumber elevated and away from the ground. This method helps prevent wood rot as the home ages.

What if I want to Provide Some of my Own Materials?

Due to specific engineering requirements and the necessary details for construction, including window and door openings, we, the contractor, must supply all materials required for the building's shell. However, if we are handling any interior work, you, the customer, can provide those items.

What if there are Extra Materials after my Project is Completed?

The straightforward answer is that there will not be excess. We have perfected our process to ensure we have the right materials, along with a buffer, to guarantee that miscuts or defective lumber do not affect your project's timeline. You are purchasing a complete building, not just the individual materials. Additionally, there are instances when we need to deliver materials intended for other projects to your job site, based on the locations of upcoming jobs. Another way to consider this is: if we didn't order enough materials, would you be willing to cover our oversight?

What is Covered Under your Warranty and for How Long?

AZ Custom Building, LLC guarantees that work will meet accepted practices and specifications with a one-year warranty against defects. This warranty excludes damage from material characteristics or post-construction modifications and is non-transferable. It becomes effective only after full payment, at which point the company will assign all third-party warranties for materials to the customer.

What Can I Expect for a Timeline?

Our company works diligently to keep projects advancing, ensuring we complete them as they come in. Once you sign your project, we aim to have your materials ready for delivery within 45 days. However, we typically hold all deliveries until we are 2-4 weeks away from a builder's arrival to maintain the highest quality. Our builders are subcontractors, and upon signing your project, we provide them with a labor contract to secure a spot on their schedule. When a builder arrives on site, the timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. Additionally, we must consider weather conditions; elements like wind, snow, and rain can extend the duration of your project. It's important to note that all projects are completed in the order they are signed. Therefore, if a delay occurs with the project ahead of yours, it may create a domino effect.
