    Im looking at getting an 19 foot long by 13 foot wide (internal size) garage built to hold a car and then the usual diy tools and gardening stuff.

    Roof wise,nothing fancy,sloping from 1 side to the other to allow rain to flow off.Also just a block or brick finish,no plaster or rendering on it.Cheap and cheerfull as they say.

    I have a PVC door and large double glazed window here for it allready.So all I would need would be a roller door of about 8 feet wide.

    Can anyone advize me at a good idea of cost in this day and age.?

    I'll move this to the prices/costs forum.

    The price will vary depending on location, materials used and construction method. I dont see why it couldnt be done for around €8k - €10k

    Sorryand thanks.

    Dublin 9 area.

    Nothing fancy,just a simple block garage,with a sloped roof for rain to run off,whether it be metal cladding (like what you see on most factories) or whatever roof is best suited and cost effective.

    Its just for storing a car and the usual garden and diy tools and some of my junk too.

    So what do you think of the cost then?

    Thanks.:)

    For work to be done in Dublin I wouldnt even want to hazard a guess as its the dearest place on this little island of ours to get any sort of work done. I can never understand how people can justify the fees and charges.

    Anyhow hang in here and Im sure someone from the Dublin area will give you an idea.

    im a blocklayer from galway and i think that it could be built for a lot less than 8-10k.
    roughly a thousand blocks with box profile cladding and simple lean to roof it should come in under 5k for materials and labour.
    i know a few guys working in dublin on roofing jobs and i could give you a good deal on the labour if you want.

    We recently got a garage built as part of our new build.
    Dimensions are around 10m x 5m.

    It has a very simple spec (ie no insulation or anything) as we wanted to pump most of our money into the house.

    It was built using cavity blocks.
    2 windows, 2 doors.
    Upstairs floored out for storage.
    Very nice automated Lomax door.

    Natural slate on roof.

    Including groundworks, the whole thing came in between 9-10K.
    (Excluding the natural slate).

    I can send you on a more detailed breakdown later in the week if you wish.

    Hope that helps!

    Groundworks & Stone - €800
    Blocks & Concrete - €2476
    Blocklaying - €1220
    Steel Beam - €140
    Garage Door - €1500
    Windows/Doors - €1500
    Roof (including flooring out upstairs) - €2000


    Groundworks - the foundations were dug out as part of the house, so I mean pouring the conrete, stone etc
    Natural slates also not included in here.

    Soffit/Fasica was 2700 for house/garage... you could say 20% of this went towards garage?

    Hope this helps.
