Answer 2

For a garage that will be enclosed with a motorized door and such you will need to get first a set of plans, usually issued to you by the builder of the type of garage you prefer. Go to city hall with your plans, to the Planning department of city hall and talk to someone there. You will have to submit plans and a building permit (city hall). While the plans are being reviewed you will need to choose a builder unless you are doing it yourself.

Once the plans are approved you will need to start with a footing or foundation. Looks like a trench, which will set the perimeter of your garage. Blocks and bricks are laid on the concrete filled footing to make a wall, which in turn will be used to build on to make a house for your vehicles, toys, and, tools. The interior of the walls are graded and set to pour concrete into to make the floor of your garage. Hire a builder to coordinate these efforts for you it will be most feasable. Get at least 3 estimates.
