The typical order of a shed, garage or carport project, from design and permits to site prep, foundation, framing, finishing and walkthrough.
Timelines depend on the building, the permits and the weather. A small shed can be a few days of work after the site is ready, while a detached garage runs over weeks. People in Nashville planning around a season or an event often ask when work can start and finish, and the honest answer is a range with steps.
The usual order is estimate and design, permits and orders, site prep, foundation, framing and roofing, siding and openings, interior and electrical, finishing and a walkthrough. Weather, inspections and special orders can add time. We share a written schedule, flag steps that depend on others and update you as things change.
