      What are the benefits of a side load garage?

      Side Load Garage Benefit #1

      A side load garage can give your home a lot of benefits, including great curbside appeal. Placing the garage on the side will make way for windows on the front face of your home. A side load garage can also increase the perceived size of the home (instead of a big garage door that emphasizes vehicles).

      Side Load Garage Benefit #2

      A side load garage can have a sweeping driveway into the side of the home instead of going straight in, which can give it a look of grandeur.

      Benefit #3

      A side load garage can be used in conjunction with a front facing carriage garage. A dual garage layout will separate vehicles from storage or shop space, and keep the rest of your home looking proportional.

      Travars Built Homes can also add a third garage bay to nearly any floor plan, including carriage garages.

      Benefit #4

      A side load garage can be positioned so that there is a courtyard in front of the home, providing more space for play or parking.

      Hands-on process to building a custom home

      • Modifying your floor plan to expand, turn, tweak, or change things you’d like to do differently
      • Creating secret passageways, secret pantries or other hideaways
      • Including aging in place, accessible, or special needs features
      • Creating special spaces – bigger pantries, more storage, more outdoor living areas… let’s talk about how to create the elements that matter most

          How Soon After I Sign a Purchase Agreement Will Construction Begin on my Custom Home, and How Long Will it Take?

          • Documented details about features, finishes, materials and pricing
          • Lot walk for site assessment with home’s footprint
          • Loan closed for home construction (and lot, if not already owned)
          • Review of architectural and engineered blueprints
          • HOA architectural review, if applicable
          • Improvement Permits, if applicable
          • Build Permits
          • Preliminary survey and home location plat map
          How to build a custom home in North Carolina.

          The typical time frame for a Travars Built Home is 6 to 9 months from when we begin the actual construction, depending on the size and type of home and the location of the build.
