[smiffy]

Question for any builders - How much do you think it would cost to build my garage,approx sizes are-20' long x 12' wide x 7' high,with a pitch roof ?

There's a lot of factors involved m8 eg: footings, base, brick/block/prefab etc, roof material and type of dorr(s) and all that.

 

Have you got plans?

Mate i did mine for under 3k. 18x15x8 2nd hand pre fab garage cost a grand

 

the digging cost about 500 and concrete base cost about 650 (8 metres)

 

van hire (for garage collection) about 200

 

odds and sods - lost bolts, brackets, new roof etc 200

 

and i still owe for some of the favours that i got in the dismantling and moving

 

but thats it mate, its hard work but its done and dusted

i seen ads for the pannel style ones for free if they can be collected! where people move into a new home and dont want em etc. ok its not an everyday thing, but it does happen

i duilt a timber one for less than £300 but i have still got to do the floor which will cost about £250 but it teand's to be what you want i just wanted someware dry

[m1c]

knock a wooden frame up and stick some of that corrugated plastic sheeting to it cheap as chips

[mossy]

ive got one of those prefab things...Tis poop.

 

Was quoted £4.8k to have a new one put up and new base down, as the tree roots have lifted the base up in some areas and the garage is wonky.

Was going to have it built with bricks with a pitch roof,elec door,hot and cold water and even a heated floor to keep the car warm

[Trevmk3]

ooohh get you

[Savvi]

With that lot allow at least 8 grand if you do some yourself.

 

I built a large double garage 10 years ago to that sort of spec did a lot of it myself.

 

I used double thickness thermolite blocks rendered inside and out inspection pit with a pitch roof and tiles, then fitted a proper ceiling, all mains connections though i never connected the gas as it was warm enough without too much heating, 2 garage doors cost me 5 grand was quoted 10 by a builder.

 

Depends where you live as well its quite expensive to do anything in Oxford !!

we're knocking one of ours down to make another car garage atm

this barn is over 300 hundred years old and as you can see is about ready to fall down

this is it after we emptied about 6 pre crossflows 5 crossflows 4 gearboxes loads of lights and

varous other car parts to boxes of original boxed bulbs and spares,clutches,brakes brand new engine bearings. it was a propper aladins cave .

this is after taking the roof tiles off

this is with the sides off and over half the roof joists down (i was stood at the top cutting them down with a handsaw oh the joys of being the youngest )

 

now in its place is going a bigger car barn to store about 6/8 osf's which will leave me some more room to buy more cars ,

dunno what its gonna cost but we're buying a jcb and it'll be about 40ft by 45ft
