Scope
What a garage build includes
Many Airdrie homes on laned lots were sold with a parking pad and no garage. A detached garage gets the vehicles out of the hail and snow and adds storage or a workshop.
Drawings and permits
Site plan, drawings and truss layout for the City, plus electrical and gas permits if needed.
Concrete pad
A new slab, or a check of the pad you already have. Larger garages need an engineered slab.
Framing and roof
Walls, engineered trusses, sheathing and shingles, matched to your house where you want.
Overhead door
Single or double doors, with an opener. Taller doors for trucks and trailers.
Siding and trim
Vinyl, fibre cement or to match the house and any architectural guidelines.
Power, insulation and heat
Lights, outlets, insulation, drywall and a heater for a workshop you can use in January.

General guide, not a quote. Your price depends on your lot.
Permits and licensing
Permits in Airdrie
The City of Airdrie needs a building permit for a detached garage, applied for online with drawings and a Real Property Report. Wiring needs an electrical permit and a gas heater needs a gas permit. Your builder handles the applications and inspections. What the City checks.
Under Alberta’s Consumer Protection Act, a contractor who takes a deposit before finishing the work must hold a prepaid contractor licence. We only refer builders who hold one.
Height rule
Maximum height: 5 m (16′5″) from grade to peak, or the height of your house, whichever is lower.
That’s the City’s limit for a standard detached garage. Taller walls for a lift or an RV door need engineering, which the builder arranges.

Questions
Garage building questions
Do I need a permit to build a garage in Airdrie?
Yes. The City of Airdrie requires a building permit for a detached garage, with a site plan, drawings, the truss layout and a Real Property Report. Wiring needs a separate electrical permit, and a gas line or heater needs a gas permit. Your builder prepares the drawings and applies. See garage permits in Airdrie.
How much does a detached garage cost in Airdrie?
Calgary-area garage builders publish prices from about $14,500 for a basic single garage to about $35,500 for a standard double, before extras like insulation, heat or an oversized door. See the cost guide.
How long does it take to build a garage?
The build itself usually takes a few weeks once the permit is issued. Permit approval, concrete curing and the builder’s schedule decide the start date, so spring and summer book up early.
Can you build a garage on my existing pad?
Often, if the pad is level, uncracked and the right size. The builder will check it. A garage over 55 m² (about 592 sq ft) needs an engineered slab or foundation in Airdrie.
Does this service cost anything?
No. Builders pay us a referral fee. You pay nothing to us, and you’re never obliged to hire the builder.
