How long does a commercial carport project take?
Timing depends on design approvals, permitting and project size. Here are the stages and what affects each one.
What sets the schedule
The three things that move a project timeline most.
Design decisions
Layout, roof system and finish choices need owner sign-off before fabrication can start.
Permitting
Review times vary by jurisdiction, so early submission matters.
Project size and phasing
Larger structures and lots that must stay open are installed in phases, which shapes the sequence.
The stages
- Site scan of your lot
- Design and 3D rendering with bay counts, clearances and column positions
- Permitting to local code
- Fabrication in our Florida facility
- Phased installation so your fleet keeps moving
How to shorten the timeline
The fastest projects are the ones where decisions are made early: how many vehicles to cover, the tallest vehicle, and where the structure can go. Send those details with your first request.
Tell us your target date up front. We will lay out the stages against it and flag what needs to happen first.
How it works
Scan, design, fabricate, install — one Stattus team the whole way.
Site scan
We digitally scan your lot so the layout is built around real drive aisles, curbs, light poles and utilities.
Design & 3D rendering
You see the structure on your property before anything is fabricated, with bay counts, clearances and column positions.
Fabrication
Hundreds of aluminum components are cut, protected and painted in our Florida facility for a long-lasting finish.
Installation
Our crews install in phases so your fleet keeps moving and the lot stays open during the build.
