For homeowners building new homes in neighborhoods with limited square footage, the space under the garage is blank canvas for fun uses — but it doesn’t come cheaply.Jeff Englund, president and owner of Denver-based builder Larsen, said a basement under garage differs from a typical basement because it requires structural support and waterproofing designed to withstand vehicle weights.“We do a typical exterior foundation and waterproofing on the foundation walls but integrate steel support beams and a metal decking system to disperse the loading,” Englund said. “On top of the metal decking is a 4-inch layer of concrete with a waterproofing membrane applied on top, wrapping all perimeter walls and then an additional 4-inch layer of concrete.”Depending on the size, including a basement under garage could cost $50,000 to $100,000 for the structural components, Englund said. Finishing the space could cost another $50,000 to $250,000, depending on the planned use.The company has be...2 people shot at in parked car in Whittier, woman kidnapped
