Whether you need a basic two-car garage or a climate-controlled showroom for a collector car fleet, a purpose-built garage is a completely different experience from cramming vehicles into a standard attached garage. You get the size, the door configuration, the ceiling height, and the floor quality that actually makes sense for what you're storing.
Door Configuration
The number and size of overhead doors defines how a garage works in practice. A two-bay garage typically uses two 10×10 or 10×12 overhead doors. A four-bay uses four individual doors or two wider 16' doors. If you're storing trucks, RVs, or lifted vehicles, taller doors (10×14 or 12×14) keep things comfortable. We spec door openings at the design stage so the framing is built around your exact requirements — no compromises, no after-the-fact modifications.
Heated and Insulated
If you're working in the garage or storing vehicles you care about, insulation and heat make a huge difference. A heated garage keeps condensation off your vehicles, prevents rust, and makes it a usable space year-round. Our complete kits include R22 wall and R50 ceiling insulation with vapour barrier and interior liner. Add in-floor heat during the concrete pour and you've got the best garage setup you can build — warm floor, even heat, no overhead blowers drying out the air.
Collector and Enthusiast Builds
For collector cars and enthusiasts, the details matter. Epoxy-coated floors, bright LED lighting, insulated and climate-controlled space, dedicated workbench areas, and proper ventilation for paint or exhaust work. The building is the easy part — we provide the shell and the slab, and you or your finishing trades make it exactly what you want inside. Many of our clients finish the garage interior to a higher standard than their house.
Recommended Frame Types
Stud frame is the go-to for garages — flat walls, easy to insulate and finish, and the most straightforward for running electrical and hanging cabinets. For larger multi-bay garages where you want a wide-open interior, steel frame eliminates interior posts and gives you maximum flexibility.
Popular Sizes
30×30 for a basic 2-car. 30×40 or 40×40 for a comfortable 3-car with workspace. 40×60 for a 4-car with a full workshop area. Bigger is almost always better with garages — you'll fill the space faster than you think.
