Do I need a builder/contractor?

While JANCO's standard structures are significant projects for the average homeowner, the structure itself is prefabricated and comes with comprehensive assembly instructions. The average do it yourselfer with a little patience should be able to assemble the structure properly. However, other parts of the project should be done by qualified licensed contractors. Those tasks include but are not limited to, foundation, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work. Most homeowners elect to hire a contractor to perform the entire project.

Floor selection can be based on your use and personal choice. Flooring can be earth, gravel, chipped stone, concrete slab, brick, patio stone or other type of surface that works best for you.
