I’ve built a few garages now, enough that they all blend together into one long garage building exercise. To me, the key here is to send the same A team I use for the rest of the houses and get those crews to put it up quickly. I’m often investing in a slab detail well beyond the norm of 4 inches on dirt in order to ensure it holds up over time. The most recent project has full curb on the edge and a vaulted ceiling. It will also get a side mount opener which adds some cost, a gas line, drywalled and painted, and full stucco and electrical. This adds up to a reasonable cost but really good product. If all goes well I can complete it in 10 work days with some off days in between for mobilization and to make sure the stages are all ready. Another benefit of putting the garage up is the main service mounts there from the alley. The sooner I get the garage up the better we will be with inside panel power energized. I still need to run the furnaces to dry our drywall mud even in summer, so there are many steps needed to get that finished.
Garage building day 4. Next is roofing and wiring and then wrapping and stucco. Then we can put on the door and call it done.
