What is the average price to build a garage

Double? Well insulated? Windows? on what kind of foundation? Siding? All wood? Type of roof? Heated? Attached? Detached?

They can range for a double, from $15-30,000.+ depending on the variables above.

a good 20,000. my dad just built one.

I just priced out a two car garage with loft, two dormers, side door, and 12/12 pitch roof (no heating are or any extras really), contracting out foundation and DIY everything else. I used plans from Lowes ($75) and their list of all materials with best guess prices and prices from www.lowes.com. I came to a grand total of $19,000 for everything with about $875 in random miscellaneous items we would have to buy that aren't included in the materials list or wood that we cut wrong, etc.

11/08 price for stick built 16'x24' on slab, hip roof with metal garage door,Hardie cement siding....complete DIY including slab work....$2200 from Home Depot current material prices.

somebody's making a lot of money huh?....lol

DIY? Around 10 grand for a basic 2 car.

we are looking to build a basic 2 car garage slab,non-insulated. 20x30 extra space for a work area (woodworking area). We are new home buyers and lack knowledge on the best way to have a garage installed, we would need to have someone build for us. We also need a driveway approximately 20feet from street to the front of the garage needs to be asphalt.

Garages can cost around $25.00 per square foot. this is on a slab. ex. 20'x20'=400 sq. feet=$10,000

You could save a couple of grand if you know how to build it yourself. Basic to a few extras, roughly $17,000 to $30,000. Make sure you get your permits.

bald fool

A lot of people are stating they would build a 2 car garage on a slab. You can build on a slab if you dig footers and lay block for a foundation of the perimeter. This is a large portion of the cost due to the fact that you have to excavate, pour footers, lay block, then you can prep the interior of the footprint to pour you garage floor/slab. If you plan on electrical you will need permits for that as well. All told it is kind of like building a small house because you have a lot of different subcontractors involved, ie excavator,mason, concrete guys, framers/roofers, siding, garage doors(best done by someone who does it daily for a living), electrician. You don't have to have insulation, however if you plan to work in the garage when it is colder it's not a bad idea. If you plan to connect to the an existing home the garage will need to have fire rated drywall on the inside (in case your vehicle spontaneously combusts per the code).

It cost me about 12k to build an unattached 2-car garage. Uninsulated and unfinished on the inside. I helped with the framing, electrical work, and roofing, as the contractor was a close friend. It probably would have cost a few hundred more if he would have had to have the additional person on the job.

on previous answer, you would not need to insulate a garage, a car dosn't need to be kept warm. 16'x8' std. size 2000bricks 2ton sand. bricks can be from £250+ per 1000. 15,000 seems very excessive

If you're looking for actual numbers, by looking at metal garage buildings costs it cost someone in Arkansas $3000 for a 30x40 metal garage with an electric door. In Arizona a 2 car garage cost someone $15000.Someone in Texas built a garage for about $4000. It ranges, depending on where you are, if you're laying down the foundation yourself or if you're paying someone to do it, and the features and materials you want like electric doors or siding.
