Building a prefabricated garage – the process from planning to installation of a ZAPF garage

How does the construction of a prefabricated garage work?

The construction of a ZAPF prefabricated garage follows a clearly structured process.

The garage is pre-produced in the factory and then assembled on the prepared site.

The process includes:

Information and consultation
Planning and quotation
Permits and preparation
Foundation construction
Delivery and assembly
Final work and handover

1. Initial information and consultation

At the beginning, interested parties find out about models, sizes, and equipment.

The 3D garage configurator is helpful for visually planning variants.

This is followed by a consultation with a ZAPF specialist advisor.

The following are clarified:

Site situation
Access options
Desired equipment
Technical requirements

This phase forms the basis for the individual quote.

2. Planning and quote

Once your requirements have been clarified, ZAPF will prepare a customized quote.

The following factors are taken into account:

Garage size and model
Door type and features
Electrical options
Local conditions
Installation conditions

In addition to the model, the total cost also depends on the foundation, access, and installation costs.

3. Approval and legal clarification

Whether a building permit is required depends on the state and the size of the garage.

The following must be taken into account:

Clearance areas
Boundary construction
Development plan
State building regulations

ZAPF provides the technical documentation required for a building application.

4. Foundation and construction preparation

The foundation must be completed before delivery.

Important factors:

Load-bearing subsoil
Dimensionally accurate construction
Compliance with structural requirements

Possible foundation types:

Floor slab
Strip foundation
Point foundations

The foundation is not included in the scope of delivery.

5. Delivery and assembly

The prefabricated garage is delivered by flatbed truck and placed on the prepared foundation using a special vehicle or crane.

Assembly usually takes only a few hours.

A suitable access road for the assembly vehicle is required.

6. Final work and handover

After installation, the following steps are carried out:

Electrical connections
Sealing
Fine adjustments
Installation of accessories

The garage is then handed over and is ready for use.
