Hello everyone,
We need a garage for our planned house. A masonry garage is out of the question due to the high costs. We have now contacted several manufacturers of prefabricated garages and have already received quotes.
Garage dimensions: 3.51 x 7.00 m (in the rear part a storage room will be created, we will do the partition ourselves)
With sectional door, electric, and a door to the garden.
We have received offers ranging from about 8,000 to 15,000 euros for precast concrete garages and steel garages with a precast concrete look cladding.
Now my question is: What do people usually choose here? Does it have to be a precast concrete garage, or is the concrete-look steel garage completely sufficient? It will be built on a strip foundation, if that is relevant.
I would appreciate any experience or advice. Thank you very much!

We haven’t made a final decision yet, but if we do, it will be a concrete garage. Interestingly, the quotes for a steel versus a concrete garage were almost the same price. Concrete just seems more premium to us.
However, we are currently considering just building a carport. The garage (or the carport, of course) would be directly adjacent to our utility room. I’d rather not build over the utility lines. It’s probably not even allowed. We still need to clarify that.

I would prefer not to build over the supply lines.Oops, I hadn’t even noticed that when reviewing your plans :-(That is definitely another point "in favor of a steel garage," since you can simply remove the paving if you need to dig, and in the worst case, you can disassemble the entire structure.
