'This Garage Costs How Much to Build? You Won't Believe It!'

Are you thinking of building a garage but don't know how much it will cost? In this video, I'll show you my costs of building a garage along with each step.

By the end of this video, you should have a better understanding of what is involved in the entire process. I go over some of the options I chose so you'll know how that impacts the cost. Hopefully this will help you to be able to make an educated decision about the best way to build your garage and the costs involved!

I had a 30x40x14 w/ 10x30 porch closed in on 2 sides building built. They just got done Nov. 5th. For the site prep, building, concrete, 2 -10x10 insulated doors, 1 man door, spouting, & snowbirds. 3' aprin and porch poured as well. My price was $55, 477. I'm taking care of the electrical myself and finishing the inside.

Nice job in itemizing the costs. I think this video will be very helpful to a person considering building an out building. I see “what does it cost” type questions asked all the time on the forums and other social media pages.

You did things right we learn as we go in life in time you will look back and see and glad you did it . Material is very expensive now but in the end you have a nice building . 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed your cost breakdown of your new garage!
Well done!

Thanks for the honesty on detail prices. most videos don't want to mention prices. but me like most average person has no idea on constructions / concrete & like to just get rough idea how to price each / individual parts of constructions. of course, prices are due to demands of work / locations / states / etc. AAA+++

Wow! I just had mine built in MI. 30x40x14 no lean too. Two 12' doors on the end. Concrete plus a 30x22 concrete apron and wiring. I am all in at $42500.00

Just wrapped up a 66x48 16’ walls in Oregon. Stick frame, wood siding, 2 12x14 roll ups, 3 man doors, 8 custom windows, 6” mono slab, 200amp service, plumbing, electrical and permits was $160k. I did everything except concrete ($36k) and electrical ($12k).

I built just before everything went up luckily. 30x72x14 with 6inch concrete. So to build, concrete and wire 200amp service. Total was 31, 000. But I did everything except the concrete pour though I did put it on grade for them.

Thank you Joe for the detailed share I think your final cost is very reasonable. I hope your future garage investments are what my experience was when I had my garage built "a satisfying journey"

My garage build is in progress(SE Ohio) it's a 24x36x15, 8x24 loft, all metal with wainscoting a 20x24 pad out front and a 120' long driveway. They're doing everything dirt work included plus no access for a concrete truck $49k didn't seem too bad to me.

IMO the dripstop is worth every penny way better than having it "rain" when your inside your shop.

We had 30x40x12 pole building built this past summer original cost of shell was 24, 000. Without concrete, no doors, no windows, no, lean to porch only ceiling vapor barrier.after all extras added we settled at 48, 000. I installed 100 amp service maby it cost me 1500. Amish built phenomenal job very pleased they also poured 6 " in main with picture frame insulation and tyvek wrap around walls.also in iur county they required a lines and grads plan by survey company that was 1, 800.

That's great! When I first started watching, I would have guessed around $100K - $115K. Nice work!!!

[turdferguson]

Great breakdown. I’m building mine right now, 48 x 60. Doing it all myself except the grading and concrete so I’m hoping to finish it for under $30k. The dirt work cost me $8k, $13k for the concrete work, and I’m guessing about $5k for the roofing metal. I own a sawmill so the lumber is free!

[lawrencelipon]

👍👍👍👍👍👌Very detailed and in depth explanations thank you so much for sharing, very organized and well planned, and executed!!!

I built a 24’x40’x12’ carport/shop in 2018. 24’x20’ enclosed, 24’x20’ open on three sides. 10’x8’ door & a 3’ walk through door. I paid someone to do the chert pad, and someone to pour & finish the concrete floor. I did everything else myself, including the building layout, setting the 6x6 posts, and the forming for the concrete, and all the electrical work. It has the bubble wrap insulation under the roof metal, house wrap under the exterior wall metal, and the exterior walls aren’t insulated. It took me three months from start to finish. My father in law helped up to the point the roof was covered. I did the rest on my own. I spent $15, 500 in total. I’d hate to know what the same project would cost today.

Hiring all this stuff out really adds up!

In May of 23, i got a price for 40x40 6in slab at 30 to 35k without site prep. Or drainage. Im looking at 100k plus, for a 40x40x14. I lve in nothern vermont. Biggest issue i have, is no one wants to work. One popular builder up here, never returned my phone or email inquiry. Most seem to be all backed up, cant keep employees, ect. I was told there is a waiting list for concrete to. Kinda frustrating. Its Dec 2023. See what happens next year. Nice building you have there. Looks great.

I'm just looking into all this myself. I'm looking to put up a 30WX24 long garage(just how it fits on my property).

I've gotten quotes from different people, but I'm in over my head. I see all these pre-fabricated metal garages that seem to be really good prices, but I don't know which to go with. A traditional wood garage or a company like Big Buildings or Morton...or whoever.

I'd like to get the project done for ~35K with the concrete, electric, insulation, etc...I also would like a little drainage.
