Recommendations for Adding a Garage + Loft

[Charles Burgess]

Hello Bigger Pockets Family,

I have a client who is looking to take advantage of his green space by adding an attached 2-car garage with a loft/1br apartment as the 2nd story, to his current home in the Charlotte, NC area. First, are there any contractor recommendations? Second, any advice I can pass on to him as well? I would imagine he would have to pull permits, and ensure his zoning permits this (No HOA, FYI). Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
