ᐅ Wide garage / carport flush with the house as an extension – prefabricated garages?

Hello,

I am currently planning the outdoor area and considering storage options outside.

The basic idea is a fairly wide garage/carport (4.5 - 5 m (15 - 16.5 ft)) flush with the right side of the house, providing access to the utility room. At the rear, there would be a wide double door to allow a trailer to be pushed into the garden.
Next to the garage/carport on the right, a room/extension of the same size is planned (as a basement replacement/workshop/storage room).

I have attached a few pictures – as I said, these are just ideas.

My question is: Could something like this be built using prefabricated components? I’m not sure how flexible manufacturers of prefabricated garages usually are.

Of course, those exist. Look for prefabricated garages. There are also manufacturers who assemble garages on-site from even smaller individual components. Try searching for "ecological garage construction using natural pumice."

However, whether this is cheaper than traditional masonry or timber construction is another question...

Why does it have to be a prefabricated garage?

It doesn't necessarily have to be. Apparently, it's the most cost-effective option. My plan isn’t very complex either – I think using prefabricated components should work. At least that’s what I hope, as I have no experience.

That adds quite a few buildings. Aren’t you going to have any issues with the floor area ratio?

That would all be fine. The distances are also adequate.

I can highly recommend garages made by Bimsfertigbau Hoffmann (no relation). I know many of them, some as old as I am, and they are still in excellent condition.

Hoffmann is flexible, by design, because of the pumice concrete panels. They can easily be built right up to property boundaries.

It is more cost-effective than traditional masonry, yes, but not necessarily cheaper overall. You get a top-quality, durable product. Pumice is also the best material for garages, whether you’re storing cars or just clutter, even if the interior remains unplastered.
