Hello everyone,
Originally, I planned to have a metal garage, but my wife didn’t like that idea. Therefore, the garage will be built from sand-lime bricks, as it is difficult to find something in the desired size.
The garage will be built directly on the property line and is planned to be 10 meters (33 feet) wide, 9 meters (30 feet) long, and 3 meters (10 feet) high.
I want to have the foundation slab constructed together with the house, but we will handle the "building" ourselves.
Two things are still unclear to me:
How should I build the flat roof (concrete slabs, wood, metal) given the large spans?
How do I construct the lintel for the garage door? The front should have as much opening space as possible so that it’s possible to drive in the middle when working on the car.
I assume that a structural engineer will need to calculate the static loads?
By the way, the construction site is in NRW.
Thank you very much for any advice.

I assume that someone needs to calculate the structural engineering?That is advisable. Alternatively, you can find a carpenter who can create a plan for a wooden roof for you.A 90 sqm (970 sq ft) garage is quite substantial, especially as a boundary structure... You should definitely check beforehand whether it requires a building permit / planning permission, as I suspect it probably does not qualify as permit-exempt (in my federal state of Saxony-Anhalt, for example, 50 sqm is the limit for permit exemption). And if you need to submit a building application, the question of structural engineering (statics) will almost certainly come up... One thing leads to another...
10 meters (33 feet) at the property boundary or 9 meters (30 feet)? The former is not permitted according to the building regulations of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
Or even both sides at the corner boundary? In total, no more than 15 meters (49 feet) are allowed.
And no more than 30 m³ (1,059 cubic feet) of volume at the boundary:
"In the setback areas of a building as well as without their own setback areas, even if they are not attached to the property boundary or to the building, the following are permitted: 1. Garages and buildings without habitable rooms, covered underground garage entrances, elevators to underground garages, and fireplaces up to 30 m³ gross volume with an average wall height of up to 3 m, even if they have access to another building"

The garage does not require a building permit / planning permission, but I have submitted a preliminary construction inquiry that already includes the garage. This inquiry has been approved accordingly. So, this hurdle has already been cleared.
Accordingly, the 9m (30 feet) dimension also represents the boundary construction line.
Now it's really about the execution. Since prefabricated garages of this size are not available at an acceptable price, and my wife rejects the metal garage option, we are now considering the masonry version.
Specifically, I still have the following questions:
How can the lintel above the large door be constructed?
What type of flat roof is recommended (timber roof, concrete slab, tiles, etc.)?

Hello querys
You have quite a task ahead of you.
You need to proceed like any bricklayer. The building plan and structural engineering specifications guide you. Of course, you must be able to read both plans.
I would recommend building a reinforced concrete ring beam instead of a lintel. Then a concrete slab on top.
