I would be looking to build from thermalite blocks like these.
They weigh next to nothing and are really quick to put up (you need a weak mix, 6 maybe 7:1). The garage will then be insulated. You can also cut with
a saw for those awkward bits.
Price is also good if you barter with your local supplier.
Regards Mark

you know you have a quality block when you can drill it with a non-hammer cordless with a regular hss drill bit Its a miracle that new houses dont
fall down!

Thermalite blocks need rendering to make them weatherproof.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

If your going to be building in any thing for lifting engines etc (worth thinking about) then make sure you use decent blocks /engineering brick in
the loaded areas

it's a good price for blocks, i'm paying about 62p each trade, but unless your garage is going to be huge you won't need anywhere
like that amount, as a guide there is 10 blocks to the m2

You should have a couple of pillars in the length if you are building in 100mm block, you can rest your RSJ across one of these. You'll want a
good beam to span 6metres and lift an engine and gearbox in the middle.
