How long will it take to build a RV garage in Arizona?

Briefly, depending on the specifics of the RV garage, it can take anywhere from several weeks to a over a month. Why?

First of all, when building an RV garage, this usually requires waiting to get a permit approved, which can take more than a week. If a standard blueprint does not fit your needs, then the garage needs to be custom-designed, which requires additional time (and cost) prior to the issuing of the building permit.

Further, it is always important to consider the specifics of the soil and terrain to make sure that the foundation is a good match for supporting a big, heavy garage containing an RV (with respect for the expected flow of water on your property in Arizona during the wet season). Usually, the ground is ready (and in many cases people will already have a cement driveway in place). However, if not ready, then it can take another day or more to clear the terrain of trees or bushes or just to level and pack the dirt.

Once the permits are issued, the financing has been secured, and the ground is ready, then one of the next big factors that can influence how long the actual construction takes is... the weather. If there are no delays from severe weather, then the construction of the garage addition in Arizona can begin to be built within two weeks of applying for the permit (if there are absolutely no delays relating to all of the initial "paperwork").

Many RV garages are not built on an existing driveway, so they need the foundation poured (which then must dry). The framing and roof can be built next, then the electrical wiring will be added for the garage door and lights (as well as natural light from windows). The exterior siding and interior drywall can be installed, then the garage door and opener. So, ultimately, completion time for construction of your new RV garage in Arizona can range from many weeks (for a typical RV garage) up to 6 or more weeks (like if you are adding a second-story or a workshop on a custom-designed garage).

How much will it cost to build an RV garage in Arizona?

If there is no foundation currently, then prices range from just under $40 per square foot to well over $50 (with larger garages tending to cost less per square foot). That is also assuming that the soil is ready (flat, cleared, etc).

Naturally, the exact cost of custom garage construction jobs will be easier to estimate once the main details of the specific RV garage are clear to the estimator. There will be a few variables that will allow people to keep the basic costs low (like the exterior surface of the garage and the angle of the roofline, like a roof that is flat or only slightly sloped tends to cost less than roof with a high central peak). If you have an HOA though, you probably won't have as much flexibility as people in rural locations.

What about the dimensions? We have had requests for RV garages that were not only deep but wide (like 40 feet wide or more). On the other extreme, some people have a small or mid-sized motor home (rather than a 30 to 45 foot "class A" RV). So, if your motor home is under 20 feet in length, then you may just need a relatively normal garage, but with a ceiling and garage door that are slightly higher than usual.
