When I got my permit, it stated that a garage over a certain number of square feet had to have an engineered floor. I believe where I live I could have built a 24 X 26 garage (max) with a floating slab, since I wanted to go bigger and since the ground wasn't level where I built the garage, I had to go with an engineered floor.
The outside walls of my garage are 5 foot high concrete, but 4 feet is underground. They used fill and sand to level off the inside before pouring the slab. Not sure if I used all the correct terms cause I'm not a concrete guy, but that's what we went through. (and we're in the country) If I did it again, I'd call it a machinery shed which doesn't require a permit.
