Measure the working vehicle
Include mirrors, equipment, loads and the height used when entering. Check the actual door opening, interior clearance, turning route and separation between vehicles. A peak-height headline is not a clearance guarantee.
Separate storage from workshop use
Tell the project professional whether the building will be occupied, heated or used for maintenance. Ventilation, equipment and applicable requirements depend on that use; a storage-kit quote does not specify a complete workshop.
Quote heat and insulation properly
Have the heating/ventilation system selected for the actual envelope, climate and use. This page specifies no fuel-burning heater size or installation method. MAX DrySpan is a separate insulation supply package; MAX does not install insulation.
Plan the yard and arrival
Confirm drainage, site preparation, access for the delivery truck, staging space and customer unloading equipment. Keep assembly, foundation and service connections in the complete project quote.
Compare ownership costs
Use current written purchase, installation and finance figures. Include supported maintenance and replacement scenarios without inventing fuel savings, a cover replacement year or resale value.
Frequently asked questions
Can I size the heater from floor area alone?
Have a qualified provider assess the actual building envelope, use, ventilation and conditions. No universal heater sizing is provided here.
Does MAX offer insulation?
Yes, as a separately quoted supply package. Installation and support/attachment arrangements need to be confirmed separately.
What should I send for a storage quote?
The location, intended use, desired building size, actual vehicle dimensions, door requirements and site/access information.
Use the right project information
Ask the relevant authority which requirements apply and the appropriate provider which documents your project needs. NRC’s code publications provide the national reference library. Confirm local adoption and application for your project.
For MAX orders, start with the project brief, compare the complete quote scope and frame and cover specifications, and retain the applicable warranty terms. Existing owners can use owner support or parts identification.
