As soon as an erector is hired there are additional considerations to be addressed before the endeavor commences. In order to take care of whatever problems on the construction site, there has to be an on-site, full-time superintendent. Are the instructions and erection drawings accessible for the project? This is important. See that they are. In order to check out that these job site drawings are finished and accurate you ought to have a professional consultant examine everything. Do not be so hasty in making design changes. It’s important to look at the structure to see that the design bracing requirements are implemented for the permanent bracing; and that the appearance is not “out of plane.” Likewise, you need to be sure that temporary bracing is being used continually throughout the worksite. Additionally, it’s essential to inspect that the proper tools and equipment are being used and that they are being operated and maintained correctly. Lastly, in order ensure that your new building is properly erected, it’s in your best interest to adhere to these guidelines.
A copy of an OSHA-approved safety program has to be presented by the erector you are thinking about. Is the erector current on all the most recent safety requirements? Obviously you want to make sure of this as this is important. Likewise, ensuring that your prospective erector will be facilitating regular on-site safety meetings for the work crew is also important in order to maintain a professional and safe working environment. There is no substitute for true professionalism. Following all the above information will help see to it that you get the best erector possible for your steel building project while avoiding as much as possible preventable problems.
In addition to picking a competent erector, it is smart to be sure there is a project superintendent who will oversee the work. As a part of his work responsibilities he will talk back and forth on a daily basis with each and every member of the crew. The lowest bidder isn’t necessarily the wisest decision you can make. At times the lowest bidder is the one that ends up doing terrible workmanship. A conspicuously low bid might not budget for every necessary part of the job. If work is left incomplete, you may encounter long, unexpected delays as well as additional expenses to complete the job. Thus, the erector with the lowest bid can very easily become the most expensive one.
You do not want an erector who has done crappy work in the past. Then it’s your job to research their past work experience. Evaluate at least one recent and one older project. If there were any complications with these projects, did the erector address them? It is so important to find out if the erector is certified by a professional steel building supplier to erect your type of structure and to see if he and his crew have recently attended training sessions to update their skills.

There is no replacement for an experienced professional erector. Yet, that being said, even if the erector does have job experience, that doesn’t necessarily indicate the experience includes your exact building system.

Now, you may be asking, How can I verify that such a complicated project is done the way it’s supposed to be done? The answer is in the auditing process. The installer should handle all the details. Now listen carefully. A metal roofing specialist should be conducting timely roof audits. How many roof audits during the course of the endeavor? At LEAST 2 or 3 should be conducted by a steel building professional. Photographs and written reports are a necessity along with any “write-ups” of deficiencies. If there were deficiencies, what were the corrective actions? All these need to be listed in the audit. An experienced metal roof auditor can detect even the tiniest voids that would allow water to get inside the building. This is particularly important to ensure water tightness and prevent the damage that moisture can cause. (And don’t let anyone tell you that a tiny crack won’t matter. Such an attitude and lack of attention to quality and excellence can be a sign of laziness or incompetence.) Should you have any questions about how to correct a deficiency, then the auditor should have those details. A complete removal of all components followed by the reinstallation is essential to the integrity of the steel roof system. A final roof audit needs to be done to ensure that all noted deficiencies got corrected. If the installation process is handled well then you can expect to have a waterproof roof certain to help maintain a desirable climate controlled environment and last you for many years to come..
