Hello everyone,
We are planning to widen our prefabricated concrete garage to create a large garage space.
Since demolishing and rebuilding from scratch would be much more expensive, we want to attempt the renovation this spring.
A master mason drew up the sketch for us. The main work involves supporting the precast concrete ceiling.
The mason has 15 years of professional experience and said the renovation can be carried out this way.
Due to the garage height, the concrete ceiling is supported by an HEM 140 beam.
At the end, a ring beam and a 30° pitched roof will be added. The eaves side faces the garage door. Snow load zone 1.
For weight reasons, the gable ends will be constructed as a timber beam structure, clad with boards.
Maybe someone with experience could take a look and provide comments.
Of course, I am available for any questions.

Renovators like you obviously sit every evening in a turtleneck and slippers, right on time at 8 in front of the TV so as not to miss the evening news. In that case, a precisely fitted prefabricated garage is definitely sufficient.
For many, however, it is the second, if not the primary, living room. And there, people naturally want it to be a bit cozy as well.Oops, looks like I hit the nail on the head 😉D

I’m the same way. My place will have a TV, a chimney for a wood stove, and a comfortable corner bench. And always kept clean.

Better to wear a turtleneck than to read the Bild newspaper..
