If you want to store your car safe and protected, you might wonder which garage might be better - a precast garage or a solid construction? Precast garages are rather fast to build and are also a cheaper solution, in comparison to solid constructions they offer less variety when it comes to design and individuality. We want to help you with that decision and want to show you all important information about a concrete precast garage and a solid construction.
Solid constructions - durable and with a
huge design variety
Solid built garages can be planned
individually. They can be adapted to the circumstances of the plot as well as
to the design of the rest of the house. Thanks to the individuality of planning,
they are not limited to standard sizes. Therefore, it is also possible to build
multiple garages next to each other as kind of double garage. Garages with
custom sizes can also offer additional space or a workshop. As solid
construction is usually brick built like a house, they are robust and durable.
Therefore special usage cases are possible as well.
For example, they are also usable as
basement for a terrace or can be planted like concrete garages. Apart from that
they are also usable as dry storage room or workshop thanks to the good
insulation.
The advantages of a solid construction:

Precast garages - fast building and
relatively low costs
Precast garages are a cheap alternative to
solid constructions. They are usually made of concrete, steel or wood and are
available in different designs. To allow stable standing it is required to
first build a foundation or a ground plate as a base for the garage, that
avoids settling of the garage. The manufacturer of your garage can tell you
which kind of soil stabilization should be chosen. Concrete precast garages are
directly manufactured in one factory, therefore no installation of single parts
is required. The manufacturing of concrete garages in one factory can cause
cracks in walls and ceilings more easily. Therefore garages that are made of
concrete require a higher effort of care. Cracks should be repaired in order to
avoid damages of the structure. To avoid humidity and mold, a humidity sensor
can help. The Hörmann climate interior sensor HKSI helps to control and
regulate the air humidity in your garage. Excessive air humidity makes the door
open automatically, when it is normal again, the door closes automatically.
Advantages of precast garages:

which requirements you have and then make a decision for the perfect fitting garage
door, that fulfills your expectations.
Security is also an important aspect for
garages. This depends most of the time on the garage door, this is the same for
both precast garages and solid constructions. Outdated garage doors or low
budget garage doors most of the time offer too little protection against
unwanted guests. Especially protection against lifting make sense to protect
your belongings that are stored in the garage. Therefore, Hörmann offers a
special automated protection against unpermitted opening of garage doors.

fitting garage door for you.
Building costs of solid constructions
compared to precast solutions
The cost for a garage depends on the
material, the kind of garage and the number of garage doors that are used.
Apart from steel sheet garages a basement is required, to guarantee a stable
building. For the foundation costs of 40 to 50 Euro per square meter have to be
calculated, if it is built by an expert. Additionally, there will be costs for
the garage door, the roof and the walls. These costs can be very different
depending on the equipment. Prices of garage doors may vary depending on
function and look. Additionally, there are costs for building the garage. For
brick-built garages the costs might be higher compared to precast garages,
because of the working costs: For building, roof building, plastering and
painting prices up to 7000 Euro are possible.
The cost composition for garages at a
glance:
In the following overview we have made a
summary of the most important information for building a solid constructed
garage than a precast garage made of concrete.
Is a building permit for the garage
required?
Whether a building permit for building the
garage is necessary depends on the location you are living in Germany. Even if
there is no need to get a permit first there are different rules that building
owners have to follow. These are for example:
Before the construction you should inform
yourself about the regulations for garage buildings in your region. In this way
you can avoid nasty surprises afterwards.
