for green-friendly, and economic, reasons, I'd like to buy a *used*
butler-type steel-framed building, dismantle and move it on a flatbed,
then re-erect it, on a new slab/footings, of course

has anybody here ever dismantled, "moved", and *RE*erected a butler-type
steel framed building, *anywhere* in florida? -or- has anyone here ever
even 'heard second-hand' this was done successfully by a 'friend of a
friend' or by anybody? and this building was moved and re-erected where?
this 'inquiring mind' wants to know :-)

if you're re-erected a building, how'd you manage to procure an
engineers 'wet stamp' and/OR building permit for doing it? approached
from another angle, does anyone here 'have a feeling' for what sum joe
public might have to pay to acquire a florida engineers wet stamp for
such a task?

mine is a (supposedly) very "green friendly" and "recycling-encouraging"
county, but, I'm sure *rigorous* as far as issuing building permits goes....

I realize seeing if this -can- be done (without paying more for a 'wet
stamp' than a new building is worth) is important before buying,
dismantling and moving a building *then* running into insurmountable
permitting 'hoops' to jump through...anticipated building size in the
neighborhood of 2000 sq feet, give or take, to be erected on AG zoned
acreage, for my own personal use ONLY, for storage purposes (if it matters)

ps-what's the current florida wind load rating required? and does anyone
have an address or contact info for the "american society of reverse
engineers and building re-erectors", or for anybody who'll 'wet-stamp'
some plans for me nice'n'cheap? ;-)

thanks very much, guys,

toolie

Were I you, I'd start where the building currently exists & ask for the
original issued Bldg. permit.
I'd then go to where you want to erect this Bldg. and ask them, with the
above info if there's any problems. If that fails, go to(contact) the
original vendor and get (hopefully the orginal/copies Dwgs.) for submission.

The srtuctural re-erection is passe, however, the sheeting 'may' be a
different issue. The wall sheets should be fairly simple if you do it right.
Re-fasten/place the wall sheets on the same wall they came from. Ie: west
wall, north wall etc. The roof however can/ may be a real bastard depending
on the type of roof installed. Screwed down entirely...no
problem...(generally)..........standing seam..........could be real problem.
Hemmed seams, forget it. Snap lock seams........hmm?

Other consideration is IF the original install was square. Some trim may not
work again. You'll need all new bolts for the structural and all new screws
for ANY SHEETING. You'll need all new rolled mastic and caulk as well.

Have fun.....................
Dan
