New building with general contractor garage built too small, what to do?

So the size must actually determine how many cars can fit side by side, right?

Since both cars do not enter at the same time, it works.

Since both cars don't drive in at the same time, it's possible.

Of course, but there still has to be enough space for me to drive in/out without having to maneuver too much if one car is already inside.

Sure, but there still has to be enough space for me to drive in/out without having to crank much if one is already inside.

It's a 5m gate (or will it also be 20cm smaller?). With a little bit of driving in crooked and a little cranking, it works quite well.

You're probably right. Then I'll put it this way: if the gate is correspondingly narrower and the garage not deep enough, that can become a problem. In this case, you still have bicycles, shelves, trash cans, or whatever standing next to it.

Full agreement. With our twins, we initially had a single garage – there was never a car in it. Not even trash bins fit in there.

If you think long-term, which happens occasionally:
Handicap like a crutch necessary due to broken leg, etc.
Then what: get out outside and hobble in the rain?

I think a car must allow at least both doors to be opened fully without fear of hitting something.
(I speak from personal experience)

The thing stands there for 50 years - right?
Ratio of 50 years of trouble and comfort loss to the costs?

Discussed again in recent days and came to the following philosophical conclusion: Spending / receiving money is just a change of a number in the account. As long as the number does not reach a level where it negatively affects life, it is irrelevant.

Fittingly: With his law of economics, the English writer and social philosopher John Ruskin created a timeless work. This is exactly how economics works

There is hardly anything in this world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and people who only pay attention to the price will be the rightful prey of such people.
It is unwise to pay too much, but worse to pay too little. If you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. But if you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, as the purchased item cannot fulfill the task intended for it.

Therefore: Demolition - new build.
