Our Process
A typical Brocca Garage from the day we break ground takes 3– 6 weeks to construct. The construction time is weather dependant. The actual build time is 4-7 days depending on the size of your garage, larger garages; 1,000 square feet and larger do take longer.
We sometimes wait longer for the concrete to cure than the actual construction timeline. We want you to know EXACTLY what to expect when you hire us to build your dream garage. We promise to carefully and efficiently execute the steps below so you receive nothing short of perfection.
Pad Form
Brocca Garages starts forming the concrete pad with 2″x12″. Forms are leveled with a laser level and pinned for elevation and square.
Stone Install
Stone is installed approximately 4″ thick around the perimeter 12″ in and 8″ thick in the center of the pad. This will give us a pad 8″ to 4″, 8″ thick around the perimeter and 4″ thick in the center.
Ready For Concrete
Brocca Garages then installs a 4″ drain to daylight, polyethylene vapor barrier and #10 steel wire mesh tied with wire ties.
#3500 psi concrete with fiberglass mesh is then poured and finished. After the concrete sets up, forms are then removed and the concrete is saw cut. We then let the pad cure for 5-7 days.
Plates
2″ X 4″ pressure treated plate is shot down into the concrete with concrete anchors.
Wall Framing
Brocca Garages then frames the walls with 2″ X 4″’s 16″ on center with a single 2″ X 4″ bottom plate and double 2″ X 4″ top plate. The walls are then covered with 7/16″ O.S.B. plywood. Brocca Garages takes care to install the plywood horizontally to insure wall stability and integrity.
Walls Sheathed
2″ X 6″ rafters with a 8″ eve are then cut out and installed 16″ on center. Brocca Garages then installs 7/16″ O.S.B. plywood on the entire roof with aluminum drip edge, Rino paper underlayment which is a fiberglass reinforced black paper which is superior to #15 felt black paper.
