Garage - Building Application - Confusion

Why should the problem be solved? Even a concrete garage does not meet the requirements of a fire protection wall.
The problem of the "processor" is not the type of garage, but the size of the garage.

I think so, and the surcharge was marginal, it stands on the border to the neighbor and the neighbor also has a precast concrete garage. But in case of doubt, that doesn't matter anyway.
Convinced by a steel prefabricated garage? Have you ever put (damp) metal tools in a metal toolbox and taken them out after a week? But well, everyone has to decide that for themselves.

What I want to tell the OP, though: It's stupid to sign contracts when the approval has not yet been granted. But I won't say anything more about that.

We have a similarly sized steel garage as the OP, just a bit narrower. Due to the dimensions, only that one was an option. Of course, you can't use a steel garage like a concrete garage or a masonry one because it adapts to ambient temperatures much faster. Fastenings are also not quite as easy. One thing is certain though. A steel garage is definitely better ventilated and water from the car can drain downwards. Therefore, I doubt that the humidity is higher than in a concrete garage. I have acquaintances who have had the steel garage for quite a while and are still satisfied.

Did you get a building permit approved before you signed the construction contract for the house?

Did you get a building permit approved before you signed the contract for work on the house?

I haven't signed any contract for work on a house, to be precise. But I would have separated the planning from the execution anyway.

What I want to give the OP is this: It’s stupid to sign contracts when the approval hasn’t even been granted yet. But I won’t say anything more about that.

In order to include the garage in the building application process, you have to sign the contract beforehand. Otherwise, you won’t get the necessary documents (structural calculations, etc.) from any company in the world, which you do need.

It’s exactly like with the construction contract for the house. Here you also sign beforehand, yet the building authority can still reject certain things, e.g. deviations from the development plan.

Therefore, your statement is somewhat nonsensical.

Especially since it’s a standard garage, nothing extraordinary….

…only there are currently a few discrepancies – and that should remain the topic of the thread.

That some swear by steel garages and others think they’re the worst crap, we already know and it’s not of interest here.

That is nonsense and simply wrong. The structural analysis proof does not have to be available at the building permit stage and can be submitted up to the start of the construction project. At the time of the building permit, we definitely did not yet have the structural analysis.

In all other cases, I would have a free right of withdrawal included in the contract in the event of non-approval.

I had my building permit (house and garage) in August 2014, and until April 2015 I did not even know which manufacturer my garage would come from.

For a building permit, a structural engineering certificate must certainly be provided, otherwise you certainly won’t get a PERMIT.

For the building application, you could probably have done without it and then submitted it later once you have made a decision.
And then?
Then it would have become apparent that something might not comply with the fire protection regulations....

The idea of a right of withdrawal is certainly okay and advantageous.
But we are not sitting here on a garage that we have just bought and cannot erect.
Either the boundary wall will be redesigned, or a brick fire wall will be built in front of it, or the garage will be redesigned as a precast concrete garage.

But as I said, any advice or tips would be more helpful than now having a rambling discussion.
