Hello everyone,
After reading here for weeks, I’m now writing my first post with… how could it be otherwise… QUESTIONS…
We are planning our semi-detached house. Everything about the house itself is already settled, and we are just waiting for drawings from the architect. But where we really can’t make progress is with the garage and the garden shed.
The place where the garage or carport will be located (we’re not yet sure which one) will be paved (we already have a quote). Now my question is:
Can I simply attach the garden shed and the carport or garage onto this paved area, or should I hold off on paving for now? We just don’t know if we’ll be able to set up the garden shed with the garage or carport this year or only next year.
And parking the car for a whole year without paving is also not ideal.
I just can’t get my head around this, no matter how much I read here.
Maybe you have some advice for us?
Best regards,
Chelria

Thank you for your helpful answers. We have now decided to request a quote for all options. So, carport and garage with foundation and everything included.
We will then decide a) what we like better and b) how well it fits into our budget plan.
It is quite surprising how much more building a house can cost compared to the estimate. But in the end, it will be our new home, and that’s what matters to us. :-)

With the foundation, you save yourself the paving because, simply put, concrete is poured directly into the ground—the concrete is strong enough to securely support the garage or carport.A small correction to Wastl’s post: For carports and steel garages, unlike precast concrete garages, you do not get an included floor. This means that even with pier foundations, you still need some kind of surface, such as paving.
