Things to Know Before Building a Garage
Homeowners need to determine the number and size of cars they will be parking. For homes with one or two cars, this is usually not a problem. However, if there are more, they may need to add a central pillar to support the extended roof. A garage should be at least 2.5 x 5.0 meters per car, but for large pickup trucks or vans, the size should be increased to 3.0 x 6.0 meters per car.

The strength of the area for the garage is also important. If the ground is prone to subsidence, piles should be installed before construction. If the area is already concreted, steel pillars can be used. Electrical outlets and water taps must also be installed. For easy car washing, homeowners should also review the legal requirements for additions before designing and hiring a contractor.
