Materials for framing and roofing will be about the same cost. 10k or so with unfinished walls and no electricity if you are doing a pitched roof and tabbed shingles.

I would budget 25-30k for a decent shed.
Don't you mean $1000.00 in concrete?

Good catch, your right on the concrete costs. After finishing take 9k off of everything I said, ahahahah. Sorry, that was past my bed time.

My guess is now 21k, without exterior walls.

My dad just built another garage at his house, a lot bigger than a 2 car and it's got a kitchen, bathroom, viewing area, workshop, and loft. Our concrete prices must be down in this part of the country because, his slab entire slab, side pad, and driveway was $10K.

bathroom


unfinished but, pretty much finished. The floor has been stained now, couches, and a rug added.


ceiling, which is actually wood flooring.



Kitchen and side door.

My god that is an amazing garage. More garage pics!

This man needs ideas and prices and the rest of us need to covet thy neighbor's garage.

Yellowboxster01,
A Ford GT and Ferrari 355 Spyder? Are you kidding me?

p.s.
is the new Ford GT, 40" high like the original Le Mans car?

Thanks all. I appreciate the tips, prices and the garages to aspire to.

I'm keeping the lift in mind.

Yes, I will need to get permits.

I live in the city and am worried that I'll tick off the neighbors if I build a monster garage.
