Do I need a permit to build a steel building?

Maverick does not offer in-house financing. However, we can help guide you toward potential third-party financing options depending on your project size and location.

Can I install a steel building myself?

While it is possible to install a red iron steel building yourself, these structures are heavy and require specialized equipment, planning, and experience to assemble safely and correctly.

Maverick’s process starts with a consultation, followed by custom engineering, plan approval, and manufacturing. Every building is designed to meet your specifications and local building codes. Our team works with you at every step to ensure a smooth process.

What is the lead time from order to delivery?

Lead times vary based on building size and complexity, typically 6 to 12 weeks. Maverick prioritizes fast engineering, manufacturing, and delivery. This helps you plan your project timeline with confidence.

How do I calculate my building’s roof pitch?

Roof pitch is calculated by measuring how many inches the roof rises vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run. To find it, measure the vertical rise over a 12-inch horizontal span and express it as a ratio (rise/run).

For example, if a roof rises 7 inches over 12 inches of horizontal distance, the pitch is 7/12, which equals about a 30° angle.

What gauge steel is used for the frame?

Maverick Steel Buildings offers both 14-gauge and 12-gauge steel framing options. Our 14-gauge steel is the industry standard for metal buildings and carports, providing strong, reliable performance for most applications. For areas that require additional durability, our 12-gauge framing offers greater tensile strength and higher wind and snow load ratings.
