I’m building a garage/shop now. The slab was poured last week and the stem walls will hopefully be poured today (rain delay yesterday).
The two GC’s I spoke with wanted to tear down the current car port and remove the concrete and start from scratch. Both quoted 50-60k for a 26x32 garage.
I don’t want to redo the entire slab, so decided to GC the project myself. Finding contractors has been difficult, but the bigger problem has been material/manufacturing delays. Most folks are backlogged for at least 3 months.
The original truss quote was from early February. I didn’t order the trusses then because I had to wait on a varaince hearing (it was approved). When I called the truss manufacturer this past Tuesday, I was told it would be 11 weeks for trusses. The other local company told me 6 weeks until they could even get to the design. Bear in mind this is a roof with a hip on the front and gable on the back.
