Hello everyone,

After reading here for weeks, I am now writing my first post with .....how could it be otherwise ....QUESTIONS.....

We are planning our semi-detached house. Everything concerning the house is already settled, and we are just waiting for drawings from the architect. But where we are not making any progress at all is the garage and the tool shed.

The spot where the garage or carport is supposed to be (we don't know exactly which of the two yet) will be paved (offer is available). Now my question:

Can I just attach the tool shed and the carport or garage on it, or should I hold off on paving? We simply don't know if we can put up the tool shed with garage or carport this year or only next year.

And parking the car for a whole year without paving is not really ideal either. I just can't figure it out no matter how much I read here.

Maybe you have some advice for us?

Greetings Chelria

Do not pave. You need to place your garage / your carport on a foundation. This must be tailored to the garage / the carport. If you do not yet know what you are building, it may be that you have to dismantle a lot of paving again. If you are building a small garden shed, you can place it directly on paving stones, small garden sheds do not require an extra foundation.

So, as written, you need a foundation for the garage, so you would have to remove everything again. If you still have space in front of the garage /Carport for a driveway/second parking spot, then you can already do the groundwork for the future paving there. Excavation, compacting gravel. You can already park well on that.

Thank you for your quick responses, yes we still have an access with parking space for a second car. Okay, if I have understood that correctly, I have to have a foundation made for a garage with a storage room approximately 3.15 x 9m in size (and I thought the paving would be enough as a foundation :-( too bad) And is the foundation just as expensive as the paving or is it cheaper? And if we only set up a carport, do I also need such a foundation? One often reads that it can also be done on a paved surface? I have to ask so many questions (I want to do everything right) because the paving would cost almost 6,000,--, and I don’t want to throw that money out the window. Thank you for your patience

How many sqm of paving? That sounds way too much. We will pave 70 sqm for just over 3000. Without own contribution and ecological paving.

For your garage, you need a strip foundation. Or a point foundation. Should cost around 1500.

The foundation must match the garage. A precast concrete garage can be placed on strip and/or point foundations. A masonry garage requires more foundation (along the walls). A carport usually comes with 4 or 6 point foundations for the 4 or 6 posts of the carport. You see, it depends. With the foundation, you save yourself the paving because, simply put, concrete is poured into the ground – the concrete is so solid that you can safely set up the garage / carport. If you place a garage without a foundation on paving stones, the paving will settle and cracks will form in the garage (risk of collapse). If you have a very light carport, you might be able to place it directly on the paving – but personally, that would be far too unsafe for me.
