Our Process: From Design to Driveway
At Dwyercon, we believe building a garage or carport should be straightforward and stress-free. That’s why we manage every stage, keeping you informed and involved from start to finish.
- Consultation & Site Visit. We begin by meeting with you to understand your needs. Do you need a simple carport for weather protection, a secure double garage for the family, or a custom build with space for a home office or workshop? We also assess the site for access, space, and any potential challenges.
- Bespoke Design & Recommendations. Our team prepares design concepts tailored to your home and lifestyle. We consider materials (brick, timber, Colorbond, or steel), roofing styles, and finishes that match your property. For extensions or renovations, we ensure the new structure blends seamlessly with the existing home.
- Planning & Council Approvals. In Melbourne, most garage and carport projects require building permits, and larger or boundary-adjacent designs may need planning approval. We handle the documentation, liaise with the council, and ensure your project meets Victorian building codes.
- Transparent Quoting. Before work begins, we provide a clear breakdown of costs and timelines. No hidden extras, just honest pricing that helps you budget with confidence.
- Construction & Project Management. Our licensed builders and trades manage every aspect of the build:
- Foundations & framing for strength and stability.
- Roofing & cladding with durable, weather-resistant finishes.
- Electrical & lighting if required, installed by qualified contractors.
- Security features such as roller doors or lockable storage.
- We supervise all trades on-site to ensure quality, safety, and attention to detail.
- Finishing Touches & Handover. Once construction is complete, we take care of the finishing details, from sealing and painting to final fit-out. We walk you through the finished project to ensure everything meets your expectations.
- Aftercare & Support. Our commitment doesn’t end at handover. We provide aftercare advice on maintenance and remain available for any questions. A Dwyercon build is designed to last, and so is our support.
