Greetings folks,
I've owned 2 hangars, but never been involved in actually building one. That's all about to change, as I've purchased a lot in an airpark outside of San Marcos, Texas...
So, as I start the info gather for this, I would appreciate any point outs or help on when you've been involved in something like this yourself.
Hangar size TBD, but at least 60x60 up to 80x80.
This hangar will have a small apartment/loft for my wife and I to part-time at...
Some decision points to make...door-bifold or hydraulic? Manufacturer rec?
Building-Steel framing or Wood? I've looked at (and currently live in) a steel framed hangar, but I'm intrigued by a company called "Morton" wood framed buildings. Anyone have any experience?
Lot size is ~1 acre...is it cheaper to build "out" or build "up" (loft) for the office/living space?
Going to get engineering done for slab work, as soils are an issue in the area.
"Nice to have" items on electrical/plumbing/HVAC are appreciated.
Will need septic. Already have water/electric run to lot.
Any other gotcha's or pitfall's to avoid are much appreciated!
Thanks!
