Hello everyone,
We are building in Marl, NRW. Since I’m not a fan of basements and stairs, we decided on a bungalow without a basement. Fortunately, we managed to get a 964sqm (0.24 acre) plot with a sufficiently large building area.
So, here is our little house: a 168sqm (1,808 sq ft) bungalow with white plaster and gray-black shingles. We will be heating with a Rotex air-to-water heat pump (with underfloor heating). A Pluggit ventilation system ensures fresh air inside the house. The patio door will be completely flush with the floor, making it theoretically wheelchair accessible without any problems.
The main bathroom will have wood-effect tiles. Very similar ones will also be used in the hallway and the guest toilet to keep the look from getting too colorful. The living room, dining area, and kitchen will be fitted with laminate flooring. Our little one’s bedroom will have a simple carpet, and the currently unused second children’s room will get the old vinyl flooring from our previous apartment. Our bedroom will also have laminate.
Regarding the furniture layout: Our entertainment center will go on the drywall partition wall that stands in the middle of the living room, and in the corner opposite will be a large U-shaped sofa. On the back wall, there will be a catwalk for our three tigers, as well as a desk (for now). The utility room will house the washing machine and dryer, as well as the self-built litter box and cat feeding bowls.
About our habits: We mostly spend our time together in the living room and kitchen. Our bedrooms are mainly used for sleeping. Over time, I hope Junior will gradually spend more time playing in his room.
Current construction status: The “ground floor” is completely finished in terms of masonry. Today the roof frame was put up. Next week, the gable and chimney will be built up. The following week, the roof will be covered and possibly windows and doors installed at the same time.

Do these components really support a heavy garage? And what should I do with the space in the middle? It still needs to be filled.
I assume that making a concrete slab myself with 21m² (226 sq ft) won’t cost me more than 1000€. The perimeter footing probably won’t be much more expensive either.

What exactly should one imagine here under the term "Garage / Carport"?
A width of 3 meters (10 feet) would already be quite tight with masonry walls on the inside. Prefabricated concrete garages are usually built on strip foundations, and one of my row garages (steel) even stands on a paved surface.

We have a steel garage with insulated walls. Steel garages generally do not have a floor, therefore:

We need to install the reinforced concrete slab and the strip foundation as specified by the garage manufacturer. We will follow this exactly, since any defects tend to be blamed on the foundation.
In two weeks, my husband’s cousin will come with a mini excavator and a friend will help with the formwork and reinforcement installation. In other words, we’re doing this ourselves. I’ll just have to get more involved.
