When you’re planning to add a garage to your property, understanding what a garage package includes can make the process smoother and less overwhelming. At Northland Building Supplies, we’ve been helping Edmonton homeowners design and build garages for over 30 years. We offer custom packages that range from materials-only kits to fully serviced and professionally built structures. A garage package simplifies planning, clarifies what you’re getting, and helps you make decisions that match your needs, budget, and long-term goals.
What’s Typically Included in a Garage Package
A garage package is much more than just lumber and a roof. It’s a complete bundle of materials and options designed to support a functional, durable structure that fits your needs and complies with local requirements.
At Northland, our packages are designed to give homeowners a clear breakdown of what’s included, with options for customization depending on your goals. As outlined in our detailed guide, a garage package may include everything from framing materials to finishing upgrades.
Typically, a garage package includes:
- Structural Materials: Framing materials, engineered wall systems, and roof and floor trusses. Northland produces custom trusses at our state-of-the-art truss plant, ensuring the structural components are designed specifically for your project.
- Roofing Components: Roofing materials and design options that help protect your garage from the elements and match the style of your home.
- Exterior Finishes: Siding choices, soffit, fascia, and eavestrough options that complete the exterior and provide long-term weather protection.
- Doors and Windows: Garage door sizing options, overhead door packages, and window selections to support both function and natural light.
- Optional Add-Ons: Packages can include upgrades such as insulation, drywall, attic storage trusses, electrical rough-ins, concrete work, and even full turn-key labour depending on your needs.
The result is a garage that can be tailored to your lifestyle, whether you need basic vehicle storage, a workshop space, or additional storage above.
Why Packages Can Simplify Planning
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a garage package is the simplicity it brings to the planning process.
Building a garage independently often requires sourcing materials from multiple suppliers, coordinating deliveries, and ensuring all structural pieces align correctly. A garage package eliminates much of that complexity by bundling everything together in a coordinated system.
Northland’s approach allows you to plan with confidence because the package structure provides clarity from the start. Instead of guessing what you might need, you receive a detailed quote and breakdown that helps keep your project organized.
Garage packages also simplify budgeting. With a clear understanding of included materials and optional upgrades, homeowners can make informed choices early rather than facing surprise costs halfway through the build.
Who Garage Packages Are Best For
Garage packages are a great fit for a wide range of homeowners and builders because they provide both structure and flexibility.
They can be especially beneficial for:
- People who want a streamlined process without sourcing materials individually
- DIY builders who want a complete materials kit they can build at their own pace
- Busy families who prefer that the professionals are the ones doing the work and heavy lifting.
- Property owners or craftsmen planning customized garages with workshop space, loft storage, or future flexibility
Northland’s garage packages are designed with Edmonton homeowners in mind, offering guidance and experience that reflects local building needs and long-term durability.
Whether you’re building your first garage or upgrading your property with a new detached structure, a package approach keeps everything more predictable and manageable.
