Agree who controls the space
If the build is unfinished, check who can authorise an inspection and the proposed work. Other trades may still need access. Share the expected handover and any garage-door, electrical or cabinetry work that remains so the floor is scheduled in a sensible sequence.
Check the slab rather than guessing by age
Provide any available information about the concrete and products applied during construction. The coating contractor needs to assess substrate conditions against the chosen system. A recently completed building does not automatically establish that the floor is ready.
Work backwards from moving day
Ask for the waiting periods before walking, furniture and parking. Leave room for changes if site conditions affect preparation or application. Confirm the coating boundaries and any entry steps, then keep the agreed areas clear through the required return-to-use period.
Questions about new-build garage flooring.
Can the builder's floor plan support an initial enquiry?
Yes. Include the dimensions and build stage, then expect the contractor to confirm actual site conditions before a firm installation scope and timing are agreed.
Should storage cupboards go in before the floor?
Discuss the sequence with the cabinet supplier and flooring contractor. It affects preparation access, visible edges and protection of the finished floor.
