Carports vs. Garages: Pros and Cons
Which is better, a carport or a garage?
The idea for the house which we will use at retirement in a few years time would be as follows: --80--90m2 max total interior floor area. Ideally the house should face North to take advantage to the light and perhaps a bit of the mountain view. --3 bedrooms (one of which must be on ground floor should the design be for a two storey building to accommodate us should we not be able to access the second floor (due to old age, for example). --2 bathrooms --To be added in another phase perhaps: a garage (for one vehicle, but with additional space for a laundry and tiny workshop area). Access will be possible from the garage into the house. We came across a design on YouTube that we really feel captures most of what we are hoping for in the house. I have included the link to this on YouTube : https://youtu.be/cSIFIDb5loI

We require a cost estimate for the building of the new residential house. The land we have allows for a duet house and the architects have designed it in such a way the house looks like one unit however it is split. I need registered contractors to execute the plan. Please feel free to email the quotes and then we will take it from there.
