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.
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.
