borntoburn18 Mar 2017 15:01Hello everyone,
We are planning a garage with a large open space for our new single-family house. We are limited by a boundary build and our plot becomes slightly wider towards the back. The garage dimensions would be approximately 6.43 – 6.58 x 6 meters (21.1 – 21.6 x 19.7 feet).
The first quote we received is 32,000 euros, including the foundation slab, flat roof, side entrance door, door to the garden, and an electric sectional door. Is this price realistic, or does anyone have tips for a more affordable alternative?
Thank you very much and best regards

Building directly on the property line would be unusual, since getting approval for a 6m (20 feet) height is unlikely.
Just the gate area of 6x6m (20x20 feet) alone won't be cheap, and it also needs to be windproof...
How do you come up with such garage dimensions? A luxury motorhome wouldn't fit in 6m (20 feet) length, and for regular vehicles, you don't need that extra height?

borntoburn18 Mar 2017 15:20Not 6 m (19.7 ft) height but standard height
Length: 6 m (19.7 ft)
Width: 6.43 - 6.58 m (21.1 - 21.6 ft) as it is wider towards the back
Length: 6 m (19.7 ft)
Width: 6.43 - 6.58 m (21.1 - 21.6 ft) as it is wider towards the back
A width difference of 15cm (6 inches) front to back over a length of 6m (20 feet) is an awkward measurement—not quite straight but not completely crooked either :-(
Special cases always cost extra because you have to deviate from standard parts. It would be possible to make the side walls parallel and compensate at the rear wall, so maybe better to have a length difference instead of a width difference?
Does the garage need to fit entirely into a "corner"?

borntoburn18 Mar 2017 18:29Unfortunately, that is not possible. The garage must align with the property boundary because it is a terraced construction. So, someone will eventually build a house attached to our garage.
I understand that the dimensions rule out a prefabricated garage, but shouldn't the slight measurement deviation be easily corrected with walls?

That means the garage exactly fills a building gap; except for the gate side, everything else is built in (but didn’t you mention a door to the garden)?
Please share a section of the plan so we can have a clear picture of the situation.
Standard components are right-angled; this also applies to bricks and materials used for formwork construction. Tedious adjustments take time, and time costs money. Such one-and-a-half-degree deviations can sometimes be corrected with mortar, but especially the small "slants" can be the most problematic. A non-uniform width also complicates structural calculations.
In my area, there is a prefabricated garage manufacturer with the same last name (but not related) who builds with pumice concrete panels. They also create garages that extend along boundary lines.
