By adding a garage to your home you increase its space and provide a decent and secure place to keep your valued car. Usually buildings with garages are priced at a higher level; if you haven’t already got a garage then buying a concrete garage is the easiest option for you.

All concrete garages require a concrete base for their foundation. The base must be flat, level and ideally slightly higher than the area surrounding it. This will help to stop water from settling around the garage and the bottom of the wall panels.
The specifications for the concrete base of your garage can vary depending on the condition of the ground. However, generally the concrete base is required to have a minimum depth of 4 inches (100mm) and approximately an extra 6 inches (150mm) in length and width than the measurements of the concrete garage.
Most industry experts recommend having a solid base of compressed and hardcore stone with a damp proof membrane. In some cases, it is possible to lay the fresh concrete on top of your existing garage base. If this can be done, ensure that the concrete used is fibre reinforced and solid, as it bonds better with existing concrete. But remember to check first, if the existing base is level.
If your garage base is less than 30 square metres, you do not require any prior permission before building it. However, if the enclosed floor area is over 30 square metres, the design and construction will require inspection from the local building inspector.
