Garage Quote

eamonndo

Folks,

Just got a quote for a garage 15' x 12'

double block with insulation
raft foundation
slate roof with gable
guttering and piping,
plaster finish outside,
finished celling inside one window
no door quoted as have not made up mind on that.

The garage will be attached to house so only 3 walls needed.

13k inc VAT

Looking for opinions on quote please. Seems a little pricey to me.

Tks,
Eamonndo

11-15k sound ok to me.

Thats roughly 11 plus vat , seems cheap to me but probably right for galway prices

i think the builder who gave you that quote is chancing his arm with you on the cost and finish .11k plus vat seems a tad over priced to me .
you are only getting 3 walls built and theres no door included and no mention of any electrics or plumbing/mains water feed to garage . so 13k all in is overpriced. id be aiming for around 9k and then vat so around 11k all in . for 13k id be expecting internal plastering , a couple of double wall sockets , lights and a mains water feed to the garage for futureproofing .

Thanks for the replies so far. Have another quote coming in.

It's actually 2.5 walls the the front facing wall will contain the double garage door. I was expecting a 8-10K quote including VAT.

Will update when I get the second quote for comparison

Not a hope. Not for a proper job at any rate.

Where would be a good place to get quotes for a block garage and then a roof too. Im near Athenry by the way.
I have a raft foundation built ready for a 25sqm garage. I cant afford a full finish yet. Id just like to get the blocks and roof on first, so that I could use it to store things for the winter and then put in windows, roller doors, electrics etc next year.

If this option isnt going to work, i'll just go for a steeltech shed for about 3500k or so but the block garage would be so much better.

Also does anyone have an idea how much would a tiled roof would cost with a 40 degree pitch on it? Ive a feeling that will be the most expensive part.

you would wanna watch your 40 degree pitched roof, would that be an apex roof or a hipped roof? it may require planning if you go over a certain height.....

what way are you building the garage? 300mm cavity with insulation or 225mm cavity wall?

get in touch witha local quarry to price your tiles including ridge tiles and cement die, your local builders merchants for the timber, min 6x2 at 400 c/c's, timber battens 2 x 1.5, breather membrane, all your rain water goods inc fascia & soffit....

Living in Athenry myself, your price is cheap - to right.

If you go Steeltech, you could resell it in the future, and get some money back.
