Planning a New Garage Construction

A new garage construction will add value to your life as well as your home. Once you’ve decided you have the space for the project, you will need to determine how much it will cost. To make this determination, you will first need to decide on who will build it. 

Look for Experience

Building a garage yourself is likely not an option, so you will need to hire a home builder who has the experience and expertise to make your dream a reality. The builder can establish the necessary permits and work closely with you to incorporate all the design features you need. 

Check References

As you search for a builder, be sure to check their references. Ask your friends and family who they recommend, as well as searching the web and reading reviews. This will also likely give you an idea of how much you’ll be spending. 

Determine Materials

Many factors weigh into the total cost of a new garage construction. You want your new garage to match the architecture of your home, so this will factor into the materials you use. Other features such as electricity and plumbing will also bring extra expenses. 

Decide on Style

You also need to determine whether your garage will stand alone or be attached to your home. The aesthetics of how your house will look with or without a garage addition will likely play a factor in your ultimate decision. 

Ask About Restrictions

If your builder is local, they can likely guild you through any restrictions or ordinances that will impact how or where you build your garage. Otherwise, you can go to your local planning commission to learn of any restrictions placed on your garage design. 

Garage construction is a costly undertaking, but when it’s been completed your home will provide more comfort and functionality. If you ever decide to sell your home, with the increased value you should be able to recoup some of your costs.
