Looking to build a double (perhaps in summer 2010).... What should I budget? Anyone have good a contact?
Looking to build a double (perhaps in summer 2010).... What should I budget? Anyone have good a contact?
I'm looking to build a shop on my property...30x30
Big lot for me...but it's in Medicine hat though
1999 NBS Silverado 4x4 awaiting an extensive build.
6" BDS Lift is in. 37" mud grapplers. Built trans(by me) 4.10's, shaved ls6 heads, comp cam. More to come.
I believe that places like Home Depot, etc have kits... do they not? If so, that makes it pretty easy.
With that said, I might be entirely wrong. Maybe they just have plans.... ?
^ You are correct. But that does not include the garage pad and labour! it depends on how handy you are.
Yeah, they do, but I am not one to be building a new garage myself Looking for professionals to get it done. I'd have to look at my plot again to find the size....
I've been reading up all day about DIY garages haha. Check out the Totem website, they have some pricing there, doesn't seem too bad at all.
It's surprisingly expensive; when we were looking around last year it was in the $20,000 range all said and done for a standard 2 car. Our lot does slope slightly so the pad had to be changed a bit but it was still quite expensive.
Depending on what you are planning to build and if you are doing it yourself will make a big difference. I built a 24x24 garage, storage trusses, 10 foot walls, extended my pad, ran 220v, gas, heater, insulated, and sheeted for about $12,000.00 and built it myself. I would say at least double if someone is doing it for you.
If you are building a standard garage just to park in you could likely do it for 5-7 depending.
Shop around come spring, i think in April Totem has a 10% off garage package deal. I skipped this and went with Star building instead because they were cheaper. Big mistake. They were cheaper because they shorted me on EVERYTHING. It probably cost me an extra 1000$ in trips back and forth, extra supplies, and random BS. I would recommend Totem.

The totem package doesnt not include a few key parts...so make sure you take that into consideration as you will prob need another 2-3K if not more excluding the pad.
Aside from the pad and electrical, what other parts would one need?Originally posted by adidas

What about gas if you want it heated

Conduit, building permits... OSB or drywall if you want to finish the walls a little bit, any material to make shelves etc. I don't think insulation was included or plastic sheeting but ours was about 7 years ago.Originally posted by bobafixed

We built one (22x24) about 3 years ago. Bought the package at Totem. Everything was great, enough supplies, no missing pieces, etc.
This year we went with one of those private companies, also bought a package (30x26). Shit was missing, not enough material and all the other bullshit you can think of. Never again. I'd rather pay a bit more and not have to run out to Home Depot to pick up materials when you are half way done putting up siding on a wall.
If you can, do it yourself and save some major coin. Once you get going, it is fairly straight forward. You can have it up and standing in under a day.
i wired up a garage a few months back, let me know if i can help you out.
i own elite concrete and can give a great deal on pads / retaining walls if needed for beyond members 403-383-7076
Have to hi-jack this a little... I've got a retaining wall (3') in the backyard... Can I take out the retaining wall, build a garage on backalley level, so in theory I've gained 3' height but looks the size height from the grass (fit a hoist ) Would that be to code? Or too tall overall height?
