O/T Garage build costs.
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi all,

i finally have planning permission to build a garage and a small utility on the on the side of my house.. I have just had a quote for the build and it seems very high.

Im going to ring round and get some more quotes (had this one as the building company is currentley working at my parents house)

Has anyone recently had any building work quoted / completed for a similar thing and if so as a rough estimate what should i expect to pay for a garage (3m x 6m) and a small untility?

maybe my estimate of 12k was off??

cheers, Mark.

try on here to get an idea of prices.

I am planning a 6mx6m detached garage at the moment and don't have much more than 12k available. I know I will have a lot of work to do my self.

going rate for a house extension up in scotland is around £1000/m2. That would include fittings decoration, heating etc. depending on the ground conditions etc your price may not be far off the mark £666/m2- remember that a cheap price is not always a good one!

Cheers guys, i used the 'whatprice' guide and my estimate wasn't far off... at least that puts my mind a rest, i will get some more quotes and see what happens.

I am just coming to the end of my workshop build, 10m x 10m single skin conctete block, tiled roof, insulated floor slab, concrete roof, powerfloated floor, double glazing. I estimate the total cost of build will be around 7k

7k !! my quote was well over double that (17.5k)

Has the proce of building gone up over the last 10 years?

Im sure ours cost £11k (double garage and an insulated room on the side)

ill be doing alot of mine myself, ill dig foundations and they get brickies in on a day rate, not sure how i would takle the roof and i know thats one of the most expensive bits of the build

my floor cost more than my roof, I was shocked at this, as I thought the roof would be more expensive.

My dad is a builder! But sadly, land isn't cheap and so far levitating garages don't get planning approval. So I have no garage.

Finally work starts today! and on budget, anyone else considering this then get loads of quotes.

3 - 4 week build time

targeting to finish the mini by the start of May.. (Kean / Nick keep the next few months free )

I have just bought a house and will be building a garage using Cinder Blocks. I know a couple of brickies, hoping to knock one up for about £600!! Ill let you know how i get on!

Had a brick 10 x 20 with pitched roof, 12.5k and that was 4 years ago.

Is that feet or meters?

I went for a timber garage, the base was already there.
Its 18' x 10' I have put 100mm insulation in the walls and roof then boarded it out.
Full electrics and lighting.

Cost £3000

No planning required
