Should your town require something different than our standard construction specifications, it is your responsibility to notify Maetche Construction of this when ordering your structure. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure complete compliance with local regulations failure to do so will result in an additional charge to the client to make any changes to the build after it has been built.
Site Preperation
It is the purchaser’s responsibility to have the site prepared, level, and accessible for delivery or onsite construction.Please provide either a level base or permanent blocking material (i.e. sidewalk blocks) to which your shed will be levelled off with. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Maetche Construction if the yard conditions are not conducive for delivery or onsite construction on the specified delivery date due to rain, snow, etc. Failure to notify Maetche Construction of unprepared yard conditions prior to our arrival may result in added travel charges to return to your job site at a later date.

Windows & Doors
We do not determine window and door placement on your shed until onsite day one of construction. Placement of your windows and doors does not have any effect on your price. Once a window or door of any kind has been installed on your shed and you decide you no longer want that window or door you will NOT be eligible for a refund or credit on that door or window. These products are non returnable and are considered used as soon as they are installed on a build. We CANNOT guaranteed that this product will be able to be used by someone else, nor can we guarantee that it won't get damaged in the removal process.
Estimates
Due to nationwide supply and demand issues, lumber prices are increasing and material costs are unstable. All estimates are subject to change when quoted in advance of the project start date. Revised estimates with updated material costs will be provide before the project is started for customer approval. All estimates are valid for 30 days as per the date on the estimate, there will be no extensions.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do I have to be there for my build?
All we ask is that someone be onsite for the morning of day one of onsite construction so we can determine proper placement in your yard, as well as window placement, door placement, and any siding colours. We do not require you to take time off from work to be around for the entire building process. Once we have gone over all specifics on day one we are completely self sufficient.
Do I need a permit?
Typically any accessory building in the Edmonton area within 108 square feet does not require a building permit. However please contact your local city/town/county regarding building permits as it is entirely your responsibility to ensure you are compliant with the city bylaws. Failure to do so will be at your cost for any changes required to be made to the build after it is constructed.

What should I do for ground prep?
Please provide either a level base or sidewalk blocks for us to level your shed with.
If you would like to, you can lay around 4” of gravel or road crush down and tamper it. The size of your gravel pad does not have to be any larger than the size of your shed. For example if you want an 8x12 shed, provide an 8x12 base.
