Site Preparation and Installation
The Easi-Set Precast Building is easily transported and installed. Because no foundations or footings are rquired, your site is simple to prepare. Clear and level an area approximately 1 foot larger than the building size to 6" deep. Fill with Granular A, level and compact to 95' proctor. Top with 2" of screening and level. When your building is delivered,we will inspect the site and complete your installation within a few hours.
