This would probably require a flush mount door too, get to spending!

Funny you mention that. I was thinking about other options and a bumper change did cross my mind. I have not researched them yet. I literally on need a few inches to clear it.

My other option is to remove the bottom two hurricane braces on the door so they clear the bumper. They extend a few inches into the garage.

Idk, we will see. Or I will just leave it outside. It is a truck after all......
I am curious. Did you lease the Raptor or buy it? If it is a lease, then just leave it outside and get something smaller when the lease is up. If not, your idea of removing the braces sounds like an easy solution until a storm comes. At that point, I would look for a secure parking garage to store it during the storm and put the braces back on the garbage door for the storm. Good luck.

I bought the Raptor

UPDATE FOR TODAY:

Builders sales person came back and said she felt bad about what happened and had continued to work the issue internally. The builder has now agreed to move our contract to another lot and they will waive the $5K change fee. We pay for the garage extension $5700 and the lot upgrade. All fair in my book. I a still waiting on feedback from the attorney but it is moot at this point. The only thing we told the builder was were consulting with an attorney for our options.

The kicker lol.........the available lot is very good, wife and I like it. However, house built next door has the same elevation (front design) as the one we picked out so thats a no no. It doesn't matter to me but it is a big deal to the wifey. I am not getting in the middle of that. I told her it was her decision and I was fine either way; stay with current home or move to different lot.

Pouring more concrete isn't a huge deal. If the site is big enough, that's what will probably happen....unless you want it all poured the same time same pour...which is understandable.

Been on construction management for 20 years. If it were me, and I didn't have to have THAT lot, I'd make em stick it in inventory and do another.

I build my own these days. Too many lazy jackholes out there that don't give af.

Best outcome IMO. Make sure they tape all the seams of the housewrap OR if they're using ZIP System sheathing that they tape all of the seams correctly. Oh and look around existing builds in the development to get an idea of the HVAC contractor. If you have any questions ask around below.

Truthfully, I thought I saw a Raptor in my future. Mainly because I fully planned on lowballing the crap out of @fun ticket if he couldn't change lots for the truck.

Now, I see no Raptor in my future. My thanks (dripping with sarcasm) to the builder who made things right...

That is funny. I would have kept it regardless. I really like it. It needs an exhaust change at some point but other than that its great.

Garage List
2013 E93 335I  [10.00]
i am an architect in ny, not licensed yet but headed in that direction,

1 they are partially at fault for not selling u the extended 4' option
2 you also partially at fault cause you signed the docs and it stated it in there
3 if they just poured the foundation a good contractor could potentially demolish the portion you want to enlarge and re pour foundation and slab the extra distance.

if they insist it will be an add fee. then negotiate 50/50 with them. for future reference...if something is 20 feet refer to shop drawings and construction docs to look at rough (clear) opening etc.

hope it works out in ur favor

She did not point out that the usuable space is 19.4, I would have made a different decsion, you lose inches in the portion were the door shuts. They count that in the 20 feet but it is not usuable space.
At no point did she offer or point out the extended option, she should have

They own all of the above. This is their profession I expect them to be knowledgable of their products. That is not my job.

That is the discussion I will have tomorrow if they come back with an undesirable solution.

Garage List

Just for future reference, but most home and garage dimensions are based on the measurement to the outside of the framed wall. With a 2x4 framed wall, you will lose 4" on the inside for each wall (3.5" for the 2x4 width plus another 1/2" for drywall). Plus, on garage depth you will lose the thickness of the door (~2") plus the thickness of the garage door framing support (either 3/4" or 1.5"), both of which are mounted inside the framed wall and drywall.
