Most of Wayside's work is carried out in Buncombe County, N.C. At least ninety-five percent of our job sites are located within a twenty-mile radius of our headquarters in east Asheville. See map for exact location. Our work sometimes takes us into the fringes of northern Henderson and Transylvania Counties, and eastern Haywood County. Beyond twenty miles, mobilization costs can become excessive.
Occasionally, we do take on distant projects (having ranged as far as 100 miles), but only under certain circumstances. Such circumstances include a customer who, for whatever reason, wants only Wayside to design and build their project, and is willing to pay the extra costs associated with distant travel. Furthermore, the project has to be large enough in scope to allow for some economy of scale; this generally precludes projects of less than about $75,000.00. The more distant the project, the larger it has to be, for economic reasons. The project site should be such that we can set up and maintain a remote project headquarters; this helps to maximize productivity and minimize mobilization costs. Access to equipment suppliers, product vendors, and reliable subcontractors local to the job site also help to make distant work more practical and cost effective.
