To achieve the slope, maybe they lay it flat, then dig it up as a slab and stick a piece of wood at one end, then lay the slab back down

They won't be screeding it with self-levelling compound I guess. 2 degs is a tiny slope, and maybe fairly firm concrete will stay in place? Also, will you be checking the slope? What's the tolerance set at? If it's plus/minus 2 degrees, it can be level and still within tolerance. If there's no tolerance specified, can you complain?

I think if it is less than 2 degrees building regs won't pass it (other options for integral garage is to have a 6 inch threshold) so a slight slope is definitely a better bet in my book especially as it means if you park the car wet it will drain out the door to the surface drain.
At first I thought you meant that the car had to jump up and down 6 inches to get in and out. Then I realised you meant the garage be 6 inches lower than the house.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Except of course when the technical words are wedge, sling-back, kitten heel, stilletto or similar;).Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool.
A sling-back is a universal wire retractor that can suck up more than three feet of cable in one fell swoop.
A stilletto is a knife or dagger with a long slender blade and needle-like point.
3 out of 4! Not bad for a man, eh?

Round here, nearly all the houses were built in the 1910s-1930s, and the garages are too small to park a modern car in. I don't think I've ever parked my car in a garage.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
