Getting Started

I want to build a garage. Where do I start?

There are plenty of resources to help you get started with your home building project. Begin by checking with family members and friends that have built a new home. They will have a wealth of information to share with you based on experience. Also, consider contacting local professionals that work in fields related to residential construction such as a builder, contractor, or county building official. Home improvement stores and lumberyards can provide you with some information as well as the internet. The House Plan Shop can help you too. Check out our resources page. There are several articles and tip sheets to help you get started and carry you through the building process.
