Prefabricated concrete garages are ubiquitous in German residential areas – but how are they actually built? In this article, we show you step by step how a garage is built at ZAPF: from the steel structure and casting to delivery and installation. And it’s all done at lightning speed – in just a few days.

Prefabricated garage: What’s behind it?

Prefabricated garages consist of a single cast component – usually made of reinforced concrete. They are durable, stable, quickly available, and can be individually designed – whether with a flat roof, pitched roof, or even a green roof.

Step 1: The steel framework – made to measure at the ZAPF factory

Every ZAPF prefabricated garage starts with an individually welded steel frame. This structure is made to measure – it forms the stable backbone of the garage.

Step 2: Concrete meets mold – pouring into the formwork

In a second step, the finished steel structure is placed in a formwork and filled with high-quality reinforced concrete. The special mixture ensures durability and weather resistance.

Step 3: Surface finishing & drying

After curing, the surface is smoothed, sealed, and, if desired, colored. This creates the characteristic ZAPF look – modern, clean, and robust.
