    Shorten brick Garage?

    Hey, Is it possible to make a 6m x 2.5m brick Garage circa 1.5-2m shorter? I'm thinking to essentially move the front doors back to allow a future extension to not have its view blocked. Currently on a concrete base and has asbestos sheet roof. Another part of it I am thinking of would be to replace the whole roof with a flat roof too. Looking for budget and if it's feasible.
