Cost to build a garage

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 4:04 pm

Having (almost) built my new home I was a little surprised to get a quote to buid a simple garage....Single Brick / Concrete floor / 6 windows three doors./ Sloping roof with tiles on it.........of 400 to 500 Euro a square metre....Has anybody had any experience on costs per sq metre (Its 200 sq.m in all) ..to buils a garage here...80K Euro is a lot for a Garage...???

Thats a very serious garage. I would love to own that , don't think my family would see me again apart from meals.
What are you going to put in it?

I don't think the cost /m sq sounds huge. I suppose it depends on the shape somewhat. If it's squarish, then the roof is going to be more complicated and hence cost more.

I chose a sloping (Lean to) roof cause I thought it to be the cheapest way...using pre-fab slabs.......
Then I thought of those steel types...but my wife says ugly ??
So now I'm just feeling around ..I saw on the UK internet sites quotes from £50 a sq metre ..and on another I saw £225 a sq. metre..now I'm really confused...Oh what will I put in it..Lathes / Mills ..hoist...etc etc......I like to hide away and play with my toys...might even keep the odd car in there.......must rush...back to UK tonight ..Chichester.
Bye

Are you sure you mean 200 square metre's?.Thats the size of a small villa.

Yes it will be 200 sq. metres......I know it's big..thus the need to get the price down...
