Hi guys…
I want to build a brick garage with a tiled pitched roof on the side of my house (tiled and pitched to match other properties with garages in my street), however I would appreciate some feedback on typical costs and things to consider. My house is a typical 2 storey semi, I have a driveway that goes right up the side of the house and extends a further 3m past the front door to the road. The driveway is only 2.6m wide and next to my driveway is my neighbours driveway of the same length. I have a few questions:
1. Is my driveway too thin to build a garage? (It would be attached to my house at one side).
2. Where the garage would be is my current kitchen window, I presume I would have to brick this up.
3. Could I use the kitchen window for the back end of the garage to let light in?
4. Foundations will be needed, what do I need to do about digging when my neighbours driveway is right next to mine?
5. Average length of a garage is 5.5m-6m, does this sound ok?
6. Lastly and very important, what is the ball park figure on this type of build?
I am sure this will prompt questions so please let me have some pointers, I’ve not thought about planning oer anything yet, this is initial thoughts.
Thanks in advance….
