Frequently Asked Questions
A standard single-car detached garage typically costs $30,000–$45,000 in Calgary, and a double-car garage runs $45,000–$65,000. Adding a livable suite above brings the project to roughly $90,000–$160,000. Prices vary with finishes, siding choice, and foundation type. Free estimates available.
Yes. Any detached garage over 10 m² requires a building permit in Calgary. If you're adding electrical or a suite, additional permits are required. We handle all permit applications as part of our full-service build.
A garage suite (or carriage house) is a self-contained dwelling above a detached garage. Calgary's Land Use Bylaw allows garage suites in most residential zones. A development permit is required in addition to the building permit. We specialize in combined garage-and-suite builds.
We use engineered foundations designed for Alberta's frost depth (typically 1.2–1.5m below grade). Proper footing design prevents heaving from freeze-thaw cycles. We've built over 100 garages in Calgary — foundation failure is not something we've had.
