Guide to Contractor Garages

[Ramy Mosbah]

BP Community,

I am seeking your input on developing a contractor garage. I was recently introduced to this concept, and I am fascinated.

For anyone with experience in this venture, I’d like to understand your end-to-end journey of breaking into this concept and building a viable business. Everything from:

- Securing land.

- Raising capital.

- Securing a loan.

- Solo or joint venture.

- Design.

- GC.

- Build out.

- Etc.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Rammy,

I stumbled on this thread while monitoring my Contractor Garage brand. I'm Kevin Combs and I am the OG of Contractor Garages since 2010. I coined the term and have since trademarked it. Over the last couple of years social media influencers have ran with my brand as a term/category of real estate... much like how CrossFit is both a brand but also created a type of exercise. Contractor Garage is a branded category of commercial real estate that bridges mini storage with flex industrial. It is smaller and less expensive, per month, than flex industrial, typically 500-1000sf, and NOT to be confused with flex industrial which has a storefront, HVAC, and a restroom. A CG typically does not have these features in efforts to be less expensive per month. They are two different products for two different users.
