Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a metal building in metro Atlanta?
Yes. All Atlanta metro counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, Henry, Douglas, Cherokee, Forsyth, etc.) require building permits for commercial and most residential structures. Permit fees and review timelines vary by jurisdiction. Fulton County and City of Atlanta permits tend to be the most expensive and time-consuming. We handle all permitting as part of our turnkey service.
Can I build a metal building inside the Atlanta city limits?
It depends on the zoning district and intended use. Industrial and commercial metal buildings are permitted in appropriately zoned areas (I-1, I-2, C-1 through C-5). Residential metal buildings (barndominiums) face more restrictions within the city limits. Outside city limits but within the metro area, regulations are generally more flexible.
How long does permitting take in Atlanta?
Metro Atlanta permit timelines vary significantly. Simple commercial permits in outer suburbs (Douglas, Paulding, Newton) may take 2-4 weeks. City of Atlanta and inner-ring counties (Fulton, DeKalb) can take 4-8+ weeks. We submit PE-stamped plans to expedite review and handle all back-and-forth with plan reviewers.
What are the wind load requirements for Atlanta?
The Atlanta metro area requires 115 mph wind speed design per ASCE 7-16. Some areas may require higher ratings based on exposure category. All Bolt buildings are PE-engineered to meet or exceed local wind load requirements with stamped structural drawings.
Do you build in all Atlanta suburbs?
Yes. We build throughout the entire Atlanta metro area including Alpharetta, Marietta, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, McDonough, Covington, Douglasville, Dallas, Canton, and all surrounding communities. Our Newnan headquarters puts us within easy reach of the entire metro.
