car viewing balcony surely is a must, good size unit and very handy as a future granny annexe when your kids inherit and turf you out
As long as they leave me with the cars I would be happy

Had the quotes for mine (2 bay and office single story) in an oak frame... with roof, groundworks, services and finish it came in at c £100k!!!... so back to drawing boards.
Absolutely correct. I got a quote for oak veneered shelving for my wine room from a company for £13500! In the end I bought the oak veneered plywood myself, ordered some pre-made metal racking and built it together with a carpenter friend for around £2500 all inc.Some people see a big and/or nice house and just assume you have money to burn. Before lockdown I got a quote from a local architect to get permission for the outbuilding for cars and make some internal alterations to the 2nd floor which has no features of architectural interest. For his 'basic' package he quoted £6k +VAT to get permission for the internal works and £6.5k +VAT to get permission for the outbuilding - needless to say I declined his services.

any reason why you're going for 3 doors instead of 1 or 2, less pillars to worry about hitting/missing3 insulated roller shutter doors
I would need an enormous steel to span 9 meters without support and that would rob all my head room which already is on the low side. 2 doors would have to be 1 small and 1 double and that would just look odd I think. With 3 doors at 2.6 meters each there’s plenty of room to get in and out.any reason why you're going for 3 doors instead of 1 or 2, less pillars to worry about hitting/missing

I'm just starting a new garage/man cave project to house the 356 that I intend to restore there. The stradale lives in the house (literally). The floor size of the new garage can only be 5.6x5.6m (I live in the middle of the city). I would like to have just one very wide door, like 5m wide. What type of door would you recommed? Up and over? How heavy are those things?
thanks for the reply.
how about something like this: http://ducasseindustrial.com/corredera-d-300-pl.html
basically a concertina type solution, the doors pull to one side. As my case the garage will not be used daily, probably only take the car out once a week, it may be a nice simple solution.
A chap up the road from me had a double garage built 2 years ago with local stone ('Brockram'- sandstone / limestone mix), Westmoreland slate toof tiles ( pitch roof), window, up and over steel garage door, side door and all guttering, locks fitted etc for £13k! Cumbrian prices. And it looks really good.Local builders has now quoted for a double garage, single story, twin skin in block a cotswold stone, footing, base and roof... £28k. Office to go on top of that, but.suspect c £10k for thay bit and £10k to fit out, tile.and utilities.
