Considering building a second garage on property, what should I budget for a 30x30 garage? Anyone else build something lately. Please share budgets and size.
Thanks

Well with lumber being 300% higher this year I would consider a Quonset Hut or other steel building.
Built one last fall, 24x30. Spent 8000 bringing the site to grade, cash for all the cement work, rest of the work was done by me. Total is about $25000 right now, just have to finish insulation. and drywall. Neighbor built 24x24, all outside labour for $30000. That included lots of grade work. No interior finish in his apart from electrical.
My buddy put up a Steel building 30X40 with 16 ft ceiling about 3 years ago cost in total with him doing the electrical and interior walls. Paid for grading and concrete floor as well as paid help to put the building up total in I think was around 50K
Seen an add on FB..$15k for pad, $30K for complete building...remember this was BEFORE the huge increase in building lumber.
good idea of cost...see: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...rral_code=null
Yes. Price of lumber is crazy right now. I was suppose to build some decks and a huge dock but I will put that project on hold for now.Quote:

I got a quotes last week for some P.T. 2x10 from two stores, while I was in the store with the cheaper quote on the weekend I heard that lumber was going to go up on April 1. So yesterday thinking I was going to save some money I placed my order and was shocked at the price $1 350 for just a few boards, I cancelled the order and went to the other store and got the same order for $960. If your looking for lumber now or in the near future it would be a good idea to find a store with old stock because when the new stock comes in so does the mark up.Quote:

Wow, quite the difference. Sure was worth shopping around.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
