ᐅ Are the costs for a double garage justified or not?

Hello,

this year we want to build a double garage in Saxony. The building permit / planning permission is already approved. We requested initial quotes last year and were shocked by the prices. Some were as high as 65,000 euros excluding windows, door, and flooring.

Are these prices normal, or should we keep looking?

Best regards,
Micha

We paid about €28,000 for our garage (6 x 9 m (20 x 30 ft) timber frame construction, plastered, including sectional door, windows, and two doors), excluding the foundation slab. I can’t complain about the quality. Feel free to ask for the supplier via private message.

Good luck

I would say that seems a bit expensive.

We only have a 6m x 6m (20ft x 20ft) size and just one door. But the garage, including foundation slab and assembly, cost around €14,500.

I console myself with the thought that I helped support the local economy. ;-)

IMHO, all these comparisons don’t help much. You don’t know all the details of the buildings, nor the cost-relevant conditions (site setup, soil conditions, location of the construction site, etc.), nor the year of construction. You can only get a rough idea of the scale.

Just get three quotes. If they are very close to each other, proceed with one. If the quotes vary widely, you could ask for a fourth.

Of course, you can also get 10 quotes to ensure a solid data basis. And sometimes you might be glad to receive just a single offer.

Regarding the specific case: The garage is large and IMHO not simple at all (with that interior room). It will probably be a bit more expensive than the garage of a friend of a friend from three years ago, three valleys away. ;-)
