- You need to plan everything and select a specific space on your property for building the garage. For example, you can add a garage at the back or side of your house, and you can attach your garage to your house. You can easily access your garage from your house. You need to know the zoning restrictions implemented by the local council, because you might face some objections from your local municipality if you build a garage on the side of your house.
- You need to consider various factors while you build a garage, such as colours, materials, number of windows, roofing and siding options. Apart from that, determining the size of such garages play a vital role because you need to build a garage within the available area of your property. For example, if you have two cars then you can build a garage with 24 feet space, and you can add two different doors in your garage for your convenience. You can connect your main building through the back-side door of your garage and leave the front door to park your car. Apart from that, adding two to three windows can make your garage well-ventilated. You will get enough lights during the daytime as well to clean and maintain your car. So, you must hire an architect to design your garage because you have to submit the layout of your garages to your local municipality.
- You need to acquire multiple permissions for your garages. For example, if you attach your garage with your main building then you to install a different set of electrical system with a proper wiring for your garage, and you have to maintain the lighting and wiring code in this regard. You can also add laundry facilities to your garage, and you can install a hose bib on the outside of your property. You need to take plumbing permits for the same. To avoid such hassles, you can simply hire a contractor to build your garage because they can design your layout by their architect and build your garage according to your needs.
