Hi, we want to build a garage ourselves attached to our house, which is made of 38cm (15 inches) Ytong blocks.
The garage will be built with 24cm (9.5 inches) Ytong blocks.
It will be built on three sides.
The side along the house will not have any masonry.
We plan to have a flat roof with EPDM membrane.
I’ve attached a sketch for you.
Do you think this would work?
What would be the best way to construct the roof?
Maybe there are structural engineers here who could calculate this for us?
Of course, we would pay for that.
We don’t require any official calculations, architectural drawings, or approvals from the city or building authority.
