tecker201015 Aug 2015 20:37Hi,
we are about to have the planning meeting for our single-family house, but initially, we are not including a garage in the plans. We are considering building the garage later. The reasons are mainly cost and the fact that the building permit / planning permission process for the garage might take longer (though this is not the decisive factor for us).
If we build the garage later, I would prefer it to have a direct connection to the house. Is there anything specific we need to consider for this? Or is it enough to allocate the space, plan for utility lines/pipes, and possibly include the access door in the design now?
From your experience, do you think the effort to prepare everything in advance is worthwhile? The alternative would be to initially build a carport and then add a separate garage later.

- The utility room should be located on the side of the garage, allowing direct access to the outside.
- The position of the door should be planned so that you can park your car in the garage and still open the door without obstruction.
- Therefore, it is important to think now about how the garage should look in the future.
- It is essential to consider the electrical wiring needed later, of course with separate circuit protection.
- It is advisable to install a 5x2.5mm² cable for future electric vehicles (400-volt connection) routed outside.

Do I need to consider anything for this? The door! Depending on the (national) building regulations, this may need to be a fire-resistant door. It should also be included in the energy saving calculations ;-).

Or, from experience, do you think the effort is ultimately not worth it? No experience yet, ask me in five years :P. But which costs are you trying to save? Will garages be cheaper in three years? Is it cheaper to build strip foundations later instead of doing everything in one go now?

A garage is definitely much more expensive than a carport. If you focus on quality and durability even with a carport: no 😉
