Garage Construction in Calgary

ARK Construction builds and replaces residential garages in Calgary. Projects may include detached garages, attached garages, garage replacements and garages designed with an approved upper suite. Every project begins with a review of the property, access, intended use and applicable requirements.

Garage Construction Options

  • Detached garages: standalone structures planned for vehicle parking, storage or workshop use.
  • Attached garages: garage additions coordinated with the existing home, structure and approved design.
  • Garage replacements: removal of an existing garage and construction of a new structure as defined in the project scope.
  • Garages with upper suites: garage structures incorporating an approved secondary living space where feasible and permitted.

Garage Design and Permit Planning

Planning can include garage size, placement, setbacks, access, door configuration, roof form, exterior materials, parking needs, drainage, electrical service, heating and future use. Permit and design requirements depend on the property and proposed structure.

Foundation and Structural Construction

The approved design may require excavation, grading, concrete foundation or slab work, framing, roof construction, exterior cladding, doors and windows. Requirements depend on soil, site conditions, garage design and intended loads.

Electrical, Heating and Building Systems

Available options may include lighting, receptacles, vehicle-charging preparation, garage-door equipment, ventilation and heating. Electrical, gas and mechanical work must be planned and completed by the appropriate trades within the approved scope.

Storage and Workshop Options

Depending on the available space and design, a garage may include shelving, cabinets, overhead storage, workbench areas, additional lighting, durable interior wall finishes or utility zones.

Our Garage Construction Process

  1. Property consultation: Discuss vehicle, storage, workshop or suite requirements.
  2. Feasibility and design: Review placement, size, access, foundation and building-system needs.
  3. Permit coordination: Prepare for applicable municipal submissions and review.
  4. Construction: Coordinate site work, foundation, structure, exterior work, systems and finishing.
  5. Inspection and handover: Address applicable inspection and completion requirements.

Garage Construction Timeline and Cost

Timing and pricing depend on garage type, size, site access, demolition needs, foundation, electrical or heating work, permit review, materials and whether an upper suite is included. ARK provides a project-specific estimate after reviewing the property and scope.

Garage Project Experience

Garage Design Priorities

What types of garages does ARK build?

ARK can assess detached, attached and replacement garages, as well as garage structures with an approved upper suite.

A garage may incorporate an upper secondary suite where the property, approved design and municipal requirements allow it.

Electrical and heating options depend on intended use, design, permits and the available services. Appropriate trades complete this work.

Storage, workbench areas, cabinets, lighting and durable finishes can be considered within the available space and approved design.

Cost depends on garage size, type, foundation, site access, demolition, building systems, materials, permits and whether an upper suite is included.
