Hello everyone,

After casually asking my architect about the costs for our planned carport, he estimated, based on volume calculations, that the carport would cost around €19,000.

The carport is planned to be about 6.25m x 8.5m (20.5ft x 27.9ft), including a storage room and a bicycle room—basically a classic double carport with two lockable sliding doors at the back for storing garden equipment.

Does anyone here have experience if this figure is accurate? My parents had a brick-faced double garage with a sectional door about 15 years ago (they got around +€5,000 for it), which might be comparable.

Maybe the architect had something like that in mind, which actually matches my ideas. See the picture

For reasonable carpentry quality and through a company, the costs for a carport at this price level are realistic,
in Poland achievable for about 7000 to 9000.

For a double garage today, you can expect something between 25000 and 32000.

Is that metal? Then it can easily cost at least €15,000 plus side panels and storage compartments. That matches our quotes. With wood, it’s more like €14,000 in total.

During the quotation phase, we had a wooden carport included in the offers.

Costs vary depending on the design, ranging between 10,000 and 30,000 euros.
Besides materials and construction, the roof often accounts for a large part of the price. Initially, we wanted a gable roof with the same tiles as the house...

We decided on a carport measuring 6.00m x 9.00m (20 ft x 30 ft) including a storage room with a flat roof.
Good carpenter workmanship with drainage, costing around 12,000 euros.

Yes, many people are shocked by the costs of carports; you shouldn't compare them to those DIY store kits.

They certainly work as well, but I don't think they last as long.

Our price offers for a carport measuring 9.00 x 4.20 m (29.5 x 13.8 ft) including a storage room with wooden construction range between €8000-12000, including point foundations and painting (excluding electrical work).

Costs will be removed later!
