We have a pre-cast concrete panel garage (here when we moved in). can i install a window into a wall? I’m guessing the panels have steel rods in them, is it ok to cut a hole in to fit a window?
many thanks
Can I install a window into our concrete garage?

yes it is .it will be fine as long as your willing to do the work you can have your window.
Absolutely, but it will mean alot of work!
yes you can, a diamond saw will do a good job but create a lot of dust, so suggest making a sheet plastic enclosure around area, consider a skylight instead if there is no structure over your garage.
Most cities or towns would require a building permit..I really would’nt worry too much about rebar..You’ll need a concrete saw..which will easily cut the rebar if necessary..The big thing for you is to measure & mark the opening needed for the frame correctly..give yourself a fraction to spare..I usually make initial saw marks on the sides, bottom, & top..hold the frame in place, to be certain it will fit & be “square & level”..then go to it..You can rent or borrow a saw with a diamond blade.
