Garage slabs poured
to carry real load.

A standard 20×22 detached garage pad runs roughly $6,000 to $9,500 depending on excavation depth, whether frost walls are required, and site access. Permit fees are separate and billed at cost.

We pour 150mm minimum for a garage floor with a thickened perimeter edge, versus 100 to 125mm for a patio. Shop floors taking a hoist or heavy equipment get 200mm and an engineered rebar layout.

Yes. In Calgary a detached garage requires a development permit and a building permit, and the footing gets inspected before the pour. We handle the filing and meet the inspector.

Seven days for wall framing. Full design strength is at 28 days, which matters if you are setting heavy equipment or a hoist.

Only if the structure can be lifted or the walls are being rebuilt. Pouring a new floor inside standing walls is possible but the edges cannot be thickened properly, so we will talk through whether it is worth doing.
