We would like to have two prefabricated garages, each 2 x 3.3 m (6.6 x 10.8 ft), installed after the house construction. We think the driveway would be too narrow for a delivery vehicle, as it is only 3 m (10 ft) wide. How much does it typically cost to install the garages using a crane? Any experiences? Should we expect additional costs for barriers or road closures?

Hello,
if you plan to install the garages only after the house is built and the driveway is then only 3 meters (10 feet) wide, it will be very tight or even impossible to use a setting vehicle. In most cases, a crane is the only option. The costs depend a lot on how far the crane needs to reach and the local conditions, but roughly you can expect between 800 and 1,500 euros per garage installation, depending on how complex the situation is.
If you have to place the garages on public ground (for example, closing the street or blocking the sidewalk), additional fees for permits (building permit / planning permission) and possibly for signage usually apply. These can cost between 100 and 300 euros depending on the municipality. In some cases, you may even need to hire a traffic safety company, which can increase the costs further.
If possible, it is definitely worth considering installing the garages before the house is built or at least keeping the area clear so the installation can be done with a normal vehicle. This will save you not only money but also a lot of stress.

Then just don’t build the garages after the house (and maybe clarify the situation once). We want to attach the garages directly to the house. We were told this is only possible once the house is plastered. Also, brick garages are said to cost twice as much.
Additionally, the space is needed for the construction site setup.

We think the driveway would be too narrow for a concrete pump truck since it is 3 m (10 feet). Is this driveway for the two garages? Is the property located in a secondary row? How long is the driveway? A site plan might be helpful.
By "clarification," I was thinking of an aerial photo, cadastral map, or something similar. Please not too detailed, so that alternative routes can be explored.
Using a crane to place garages directly against the house is practically only possible without an eave or if the roof frame is not yet in place — which obviously conflicts with the house being plastered. What I often recommend are garages from Bimsfertigbau Hoffmann, which are delivered as a kind of kit (but as far as I know, assembled on-site by a team from the manufacturer). They are not cheap, but very cost-effective. In my area, many of these garages are standing, so I can confirm from personal observation that they remain in excellent condition even fifty years after installation. In general, garages are nearly as expensive as gold in my opinion. However, masonry garages can be a more affordable option, especially for DIY enthusiasts.
