One of the biggest questions we get is ... How are these buildings delivered?
I have signs on my lot, in my office and on my desk that say Graceland Buildings are Not Built on Site. Every once in awhile, someone misunderstands and "thinks" that we must built on site, bring it in in pieces, etc. etc.
The buildings for the southeast Texas region are built in our Dallas area plant. The building is completely built, including windows, doors, roof and stain. It is then loaded on a truck and delivered to the customer. The whole process only takes about 21 working days, sometimes a little faster depending on orders at the plant and weather.
The delivery drivers are trained to set up the buildings on your lot, including leveling and tie downs in most cases. The setup is usually done in a few hours, maybe a little longer for the larger buildings.
It is necessary to have enough room and a wide enough opening for the driver to "drive" the building in with the mule.
The mule is a tiny forklift. The driver puts wheels under the skids and drives the building with the mule on one end (see video below). This helps to insure that your building is placed just exactly where you need it.
Sometimes customers need to take down a few feet of fence or make other arrangements to insure the building can be installed correctly on the lot. The dispatch will call before the building is delivered to make sure that weather and ground conditions are dry before sending the truck out.
Below is a Youtube video from one of the Dallas Dealers showing a building delivery:
We can order any building in our brochure from the plant or you can purchase off our lot from available inventory. Our lot is located at 4823 FM 646 East Dickinson, Texas We are at the intersection of Strom Road and Hwy 646, one mile west from Hwy 146 (Bacliff). Lot is open all of the time, buildings are open and available to see all of the time too!
