i thinking you'll have no problem finding ways to use all that spaceI have done a lot more with a lot less.
agreed, but if it's not an option put in an inspection pit before laying the floor slab. make sure it's long enough to get out without having to roll the car back or forward too.Ceiling Height? I ask as my garage, 1800Sqft, is fabulous, except.......
when built by the previous owner, put in a 9.5 ceiling. I will have to do surgery for a lift. Even if you aren't planning a lift now, I would engineer the clearance in an area for one.
they won't let you do inspection pits here, don't want you dying because you left the car running and didn't ventilate . some people have done one after the garage was built. easiest way is get the contractor to pour the slab thin in the area you're planning to dig out.agreed, but if it's not an option put in an inspection pit before laying the floor slab. make sure it's long enough to get out without having to roll the car back or forward too. neil.

yes, you need planning approval here in the uk for a pit too. i know guys who do the pit, then lay the slab over it with plywood sheets just an inch or so below the surface covering the pit. easy enough to open it up after inspection then.they won't let you do inspection pits here, don't want you dying because you left the car running and didn't ventilate . some people have done one after the garage was built. easiest way is get the contractor to pour the slab thin in the area you're planning to dig out.
there are so many rules about ventilating an underground substructure, you'd never want to deal with it...shouldn't be hard to build in at the start.
