Garage Budget

In the middle of building a substantial dock right now. Total cost will be around 50K, my cost for the same design last year was 37.

Built a nice garage in the fall for a guy, 30X45 with a loft area in the last 20 feet he uses for storage. Grade, footings, pad, heated floor, 6" stud walls and scissor truss with a metal roof and everything insulated and drywalled was 65K I didn't charge him labor due to friendship but that would have easily tacked on another 12 or so.

Due to the volatile pricing of building materials, there is no way to get an accurate estimate of the cost to build something unless you get current pricing. Using prices from a few months ago will not be accurate. Prices are going up on a weekly basis.

They are a good alternative GW..no question. But they still have a lot of addition costs a guy has to keep in mind , slab etc. To get insurance on these building is costly in regards to build site prep etc. Just a heads up....I know a guy would paid more for all that crap than the building itself.

As has been said already, prices are going up almost daily. What someone paid last year, won't in anyway, reflect what it will cost now or a month from now. Good luck!

Definitely, and they are not as simple to put up as Youtube shows, trust me. :). I think my Buddy Tim all in was around 55 thousand. His building is 30XX40 with 16 ft ceiling.

2008 was 13 years ago. I put up a 28x22 for about 10k. 4k of that was site prep and a concrete pad. Another 3k trusses and roof. 1k for the door. 2k for the framing, sheeting and siding. Uninsulated.

They are a good alternative if you are not planning to insulate. I know of someone that just put up one of these building types last fall, with the intention of getting spray foam insulation applied, so it would be an all season building. The foam cost was ridiculous. He ended up framing the complete interior and using batt insulation and paneling to finish it off during this winter. The result was actually a building inside a steel building. He said it would have been much cheaper just to build an insulated pole building. As he noted, it was an expensive lesson learned.

I just bought seven 2" x 4" x 8' PT lumber today and the bill was $98.00. That's just crazy.

No end of it in sight.
