Re-leveling on new blocks or a gravel pad is usually included; a new concrete pad is not.

Disassembly

Sheds wider than the legal limit may need the roof removed or be moved in sections, which adds labor.

Scheduling

Late spring through early fall (May-October) is the prime season to avoid heavy snowfall, frozen ground, and spring mud.

Backhaul luck

Haulers already running near Flint bid lower to fill empty miles — posting early exposes your job to more of them.
