We are planning a double garage next to our house. It will be a boundary wall construction. The neighbor’s garage has a pitched roof. According to the development plan, we are also required to build a pitched roof. The garage will be built directly next to the house with the same roof orientation. We need the windows on this side of the house on the second floor. We have now considered having the side facing the neighbor with a pitched roof and the side facing the house as a roof terrace. I have read somewhere that this might not be that simple. Is that true? Do you have any ideas on how else we could build it?
Thank you for your help.

MangoLychee4 Nov 2017 15:29If I want to make a rough estimate and plan with a pitched roof on the garage (which is more expensive than a flat roof), I don’t see any problem. Better to be cheaper than more expensive later on.
No, I am not forgetful. I asked the questions where they belong. Where exactly is the same question asked twice? That was the criticism.
You can’t give me exact costs anyway, as it depends on the bricks and so on. I am also aware of the difference between a flat roof and a pitched roof.
If you have read carefully, the preliminary contract for the house has been signed. The garage will be built later by myself. So where exactly is the problem now?
Thanks anyway for the kind and constructive tips that brighten my Saturday.
Best regards

Depending on the state, the garage will require a building permit / planning permission. Ignoring this for now could backfire later.
You also mention that your floor plan requires windows on the building side. Therefore, this floor plan does not fit with the plan to build a double garage there, since the gable roof is fixed. It is at least surprising why a contract is made despite such conflicting objectives.

MangoLychee4 Nov 2017 15:56I can understand that. However, all of this has been taken into account. The preliminary contract is set up so that we will receive a new design, even if the garage is not approved in the building permit / planning permission. They will plan the garage for us, even if we build it ourselves. However, as mentioned, we have not yet had the appointment with the architect. Changes to the house are still possible, depending on the outcome of the building permit / planning permission process. We will only have exact measurements for the garage after staking out.
In the worst case scenario, for example, there is the option to build a single garage next to the neighbor and attach a carport to the house, as was suggested here. We could also consider, with a 5m (16.4 ft) garage width, the option of not building the garage as a boundary garage. That’s why I wanted to gather ideas here. The architect will certainly have proposals. I just like to consider several options. I thought that’s what a forum is for.
The two threads were intentional because I thought that’s how it should be. If that is not desired, I apologize. I was mistaken.

MangoLychee4 Nov 2017 16:07Okay. The house is fixed for us. The garage is an additional feature that we will now integrate. We can clarify the details at the next appointment with the building company.
