Detached garages from the dig to the doors. One company handles the concrete, framing, siding, doors and electrical, and the build keeps going through a Calgary winter.

Alliance Renovations builds detached garages in Calgary from the dig to the doors: excavation, the concrete pad, framing, roofing, siding, doors and electrical, run by one company since 2008. Garages go up through winter too, and every stage shows in your Buildertrend project portal, so you can follow the build from your phone.
Alliance started out in 2008 as a concrete company, so the slab under your garage is poured by people who began with concrete. From there the crew frames, sheathes and roofs the garage, then finishes the siding, the overhead doors and the electrical.
Customers keep mentioning two things in their Google reviews: the build keeps going when the snow comes, and the team answers questions fast. Gus wrote that Alliance was the only company he contacted that could build his garage in winter.
A standard Alliance garage package includes:
Pick the size, roof, doors and siding, and the drawing updates as you go. The closest garage Alliance has already built shows up underneath. Then flip the season to winter. Alliance builds then too.
A double garage with a fresh concrete apron, on a Calgary back lane.
Black trim, a man door and a window, tucked under the trees.
Two modern doors, each with a stacked row of glass slots.
Low-slope roof, stacked-stone wainscot and a stamped concrete apron, Alliance sign out front.
The same four steps on every garage, tracked in your Buildertrend portal from the first visit to the walkthrough.
An on-site look at your lot and a detailed, transparent quote with the costs broken down.
“Getting an assessment and quote was easy compared to other companies we tried.” Justin J.

Garage rules in Calgary, in plain words, with the City page for each one.
A detached garage bigger than 10 m² (107 sq. ft.) needs a building permit. The City puts the review at about 7 days, and a building permit expires 180 days after it is issued.
Source: City of Calgary, Garages and shedsWhen the design needs a relaxation, or the garage is over 4.6 m (15'-1") tall, over 3 m from wall to roof truss, over 75 m² or bigger than the house, within 1 m of the house, or has a rooftop deck or balcony. That takes 10 to 12 weeks.
Source: City of Calgary, Garages and shedsAt least 0.6 m from the side and rear property lines, or 1.2 m where the line is shared with a street, and never in the front setback area. A building of 10 m² or more sits at least 1 m from the house.
Source: Calgary Land Use Bylaw, section 345From the lane, the apron in front of the garage door must be at least 0.6 m long. Nothing permanent, including footings, walls or eaves, can sit in a utility right-of-way.
Source: City of Calgary, Garages and sheds"All new garages will require a separate electrical permit for installing lights, outlets and the garage door." Plumbing needs its own permit too.

The cities, towns and counties around Calgary have their own rules, covered on each area page. Alliance's garage packages include professional drawings, the building and electrical permits, and the inspections.
Real garages from Alliance jobs, in every siding colour and door style.
“Highly recommend. Of all the companies that i contacted, Alliance was the only one that was able to construct a garage during the winter. They have done a beautiful job, on time and made the process painless. Colin, Ryan, Tim and the crew were amazing. They are super responsive and most of the time they would reply back to you within minutes. The Buildertrend app they use is also great. Don't hesitate to go ahead with them!”

The project was running online, we could see the schedule and updates of the schedule. If something was changing Ryan was contacting us right away and in general communication was fast and clear. Price was fair, we could see clear costs breakdown and total amount we payed was as agreed. We highly recommend Alliance for basement renovations.”
