Q: Do I need an architect to build a room above my garage?

• <div><p>As with most large-scale home renovation projects, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-an-architect-for-addition.htm">you&rsquo;ll need an architect</a> to map out the exact layout and specs of your above-garage room, which is required in many municipalities. Some general contractors will serve as your architect, or they may bring on a residential architect to assist with the plans. </p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to build a garage?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to build a garage in the summer or fall, with most homeowners preferring the fall. Winter might bring frozen ground that can make excavating and pouring a foundation a challenge, and spring tends to bring more rainfall, which can delay the building process. Most homeowners who DIY portions of their garage build prefer fall over summer, as the temperature is usually cooler and more conducive to the strenuous work required to build the structure. </p></div>

Q: Can I convert my garage into an ADU?

• <div><p>You can convert your garage into an ADU. You&rsquo;ll need to follow local building codes to ensure your new unit is up to code. For the most part, building an ADU in an existing building is more affordable than building a new one. Even so, consider the condition of your garage before making a decision. Not all garages are in shape for a smooth conversion to an ADU, and renovations can add up in cost.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to build a garage?

• <div><p>Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on size and custom features included.</p></div>
