I want an attached garage and a basement. Is this possible?

Oak Creek Homes and Vic Cox Homes - Frequently asked questio...
YES, absolutely this is possible and in fact many homebuyers include such extras in their land/home packages. In the case of a basement there may be special requirements for placing of the home. If the basement is in-ground the home may be rolled-on to the foundation. If you have a daylight basement a crane may be necessary to lift and place the home onto the foundation. Garages can be attached or detached. Many of our customers construct pole buildings that serve as garages and/or shops.
