How your project comes together
A clear, guided process from first call to final walkthrough.
Building a detached garage doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to give you clarity at each step—what we’re doing, what decisions are needed, and when construction will happen.

You receive a detailed scope of work, cost breakdown, and projected timeline. Once approved, your project is scheduled for construction.

Final walkthrough & closeout
We complete a thorough walkthrough, address any punch list items, and provide a workmanship warranty so you can enjoy your new garage with confidence.

What homeowners ask most
Frequently asked questions.
These questions help explain how we work and what you can expect as we move from initial consultation through planning, construction, and closeout.
What happens during the initial consultation?
We review your goals, property, budget range, and preferred garage size to determine feasibility and next steps, and whether a pre-designed or more custom approach makes sense.
How do I choose the right garage size?
We look at how many vehicles you need to park, the space available on your property, and whether you want storage, a workshop, or a future studio level.
Do you help determine if my site is suitable?
Yes. Site suitability—including access, grading, and layout—is reviewed during the pre-construction phase, often with trade partners present.
What is included in the pre-construction agreement?
Plan selection, site review, trade partner estimates, budget development, and preparation of your detailed construction proposal and schedule.
How long does the planning and budgeting phase take?
Most projects take 4–8 weeks to move through pre-construction, depending on design decisions and trade partner availability for site visits and estimates.
Can you visit my site before I commit to a design?
Yes. Site visits are part of the pre-construction process and help us confirm placement, access, and any grading or concrete needs.
Can I provide my own garage plans?
Absolutely. We can build from any engineered plans that meet South Carolina building requirements and are appropriate for your site.
Do you handle permitting and inspections?
Yes. We take care of required permits and coordinate inspections with the appropriate authorities so you don’t have to manage that process yourself.
Do you handle site grading, excavation, and the slab?
Yes. Site preparation and concrete work are included as part of our turnkey service and are typically completed by trusted trade partners we coordinate.
Can you match the siding and roofing to my existing home?
In most cases, yes. We can specify materials, profiles, and colors to complement your home so the garage feels like a natural extension of your property.
How does cost-plus pricing work?
You pay the actual cost of materials, labor, and trade partners, plus an agreed builder fee. This structure keeps pricing transparent as we refine details during pre-construction.
Are plan fees included?
Plans from our included library are provided at no extra charge. External plan provider fees are typically separate and usually fall in the $500–$1000 range.
At what point is pricing finalized?
Pricing is finalized once trade partner estimates and material quotes are confirmed during pre-construction, and your construction agreement is prepared. Although, if material cost fluctuates between the estimate and when the material is actually ordered, this will affect the final price.
How does your payment schedule work?
Payments are structured around clear milestones, all outlined in your construction agreement, so you know what’s due and when.
What is included in the construction proposal?
A detailed scope of work, projected cost breakdown, and estimated timeline for your specific garage project, based on the information gathered in pre-construction.
How long does construction typically take?
Most detached garages take 6–10 weeks to build once construction begins, depending on size, complexity, weather, and inspection schedules.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Shedscape is a South Carolina Licensed Residential Builder with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
Do you use subcontractors?
We work with vetted, professional trade partners for specialized work such as concrete, electrical, and other trades, and we coordinate their schedules and scope.
Do I need to be home during construction?
Not typically. We coordinate access to the site and provide updates so you can stay informed without needing to be on-site all day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty and stand behind the quality of the work performed on your project. All manufacturer warranties are passed to the customer.
How will I stay updated on progress?
We provide regular communication throughout planning and construction, including schedule updates, key milestones, and any decisions that need your input.
