Carport addition to garage

Posted 7 months ago

I have a single-car garage that I would like a carport added to the front of. The garage is 3.05m wide, and about 1.55m from the boundary fence. I would like the carport to extend flush from the garage on one side, and extend to the boundary fence on the other side. Ideally I would like it to be around 5.5m length and 4.6m wide, with a double pitched roof to match the garage roof. I would also like the existing driveway under the carport footprint to be removed and a new slab poured.
