Hello,
we are quite close to purchasing the plot, and the meeting with the architect is scheduled for next week.
In advance, we have a few "ideas" where I might briefly ask for your opinion (or experience):
Our plot has a 5m (16 ft) wide driveway, but it goes up a slope about 2m (6.5 ft) high right away.
The garage entrance should be at ground level, so the garage (located to the right of the basement) will be partially underground on two sides (the back and the right side) up to the top edge of the garage.
What kind of costs should be expected for such a garage?
It will have to be waterproofed against ground moisture and structurally more stable than a freestanding garage.
The necessary earth excavation for the garage should be done with the excavation from the basement, so the cost should be "only" about 3000 euros (?) roughly.
---
And another question: if we wanted to also park our motorhome in the garage (which would save the need for a separate parking space or carport next to the house),
what would be the approximate cost for a garage about 12m (39 ft) long and 2.7m (9 ft) high (clearance height)? Two sides would again have to be protected against moisture and earth pressure.
Or is this "idea" completely unrealistic?

Building a new driveway also costs money. Accessing a slope from below is often a bit more complex than from above. This isn’t about replacing an existing driveway. It remains as is and/or will not be changed by the parking area. The parking space // underground garage here are competing options.
Well then: the architect will eventually mention it or just include the extra cost for the unusually deep underground garage in their fees 🙂

A site plan showing the house and garage is the minimum requirement. Don’t forget the topography.
How large should the garage be?
