Garage as a boundary structure - Ideas

;) ;) ...

If I want to roughly calculate and plan with a pitched roof on the garage (which is more expensive than a flat roof), I don't see the problem. Better cheaper than more expensive afterwards.

No, I am not forgetful. I asked the questions where they belong. Where exactly is the same question twice??? That was even criticized.

You can't give me exact costs anyway, as it depends on the stone etc. I am also aware of the difference between flat and pitched roof.

If you have read, the preliminary contract for the house is signed. The garage will be built later by ourselves. So where is the problem now?

Thanks anyway for the nice productive hints that sweeten my Saturday.

Best regards

The garage will require a building permit depending on the federal state. Not wanting to consider this further now can backfire.

You also write that your floor plan requires windows on the building side. Therefore, this floor plan does not fit the project of wanting to build a double garage there, since the gable roof is predetermined. It is at least surprising why one enters into a contract with such conflicting objectives.

I can understand. But all of that is already taken into account. The preliminary contract is set up so that we will still receive a new plan, even if the garage is not approved in the building permit. They will plan the garage for us, even if we build it ourselves. However, as mentioned, we have not yet had the appointment with the architect. Changes to the house are still possible as well, depending on what comes out of the building permit. We only know the exact measurements for the garage after staking out.

In the worst case, for example, there is the possibility of building a single garage next to the neighbor and a carport attached to the house, as was also suggested here. We could also have the option, with a 5-meter garage width, to not build the garage as a boundary garage. That’s why I was interested in gathering ideas here. The architect will surely have suggestions. I just like to plan multiple options through. I thought that’s what a forum was for.

The two threads were intentional because I thought it was supposed to be that way. If it’s not desired like that, I’m sorry. I then thought wrongly.

The variant pre-planning is nonsense as long as one does not consider the overall concept, house - garage - possibly carport - neighbor boundary - location.

Okay. The house is for us. The garage is for us an accessory that we are now integrating. We can clarify the details at the next appointment with the construction company.
