Hello Forum,
Today I received a quote from my construction company (with whom I am very satisfied) for our requested (masonry) double garage:
approximately 25,000 EUR for the shell construction work (foundation, floor slab, concrete ceiling, masonry work, etc.)
approximately 12,000 EUR for roof waterproofing, interior plaster, screed, garage door, windows.
The garage would be about 6.40 meters x 6.40 meters (21 feet x 21 feet) in size and slightly on a slope, so the foundation work is expected to be more complex.
Are these prices normal? I was a bit surprised because we had originally budgeted only 20,000 EUR (based on recommendations found online) for our garage...

All other quoted prices are not binding for your own offer and vary depending on negotiation skills.The factor of negotiation skills has limited effect during boom periods. The garage market is tied to the single-family home construction market.
Regarding double garages, a rarely considered detail is that prefabricated double garages do not really exist. Usually, either two single garages are placed side by side, or—as nowadays a double door is often desired—the garage is built in a front and rear half.
Therefore, a third option is to build using prefabricated components (e.g., pumice concrete or aerated concrete panels).

Negotiation is possible, but unfortunately usually only results in higher costs and benefits the contractor (offer too old, additional work was not known, increased measurement).
Not a good time for homeowners right now. A few years ago it was better for me. My colleagues/friends are complaining a lot about it lately..

Good, but I still can’t think of a reason to spend 37,000 on that.
Our custom-made precast concrete garage of just under 50 sqm (540 sq ft) with non-rectangular angles would have cost that much.
A masonry garage would have been around 10,000 to 12,000 more expensive.
I think if you stick to the standard sizes offered by garage manufacturers, you could get away with about 25,000.
Earth fill due to a sloping site shouldn’t be an issue either.

Even major manufacturers of prefabricated garages are willing to negotiate prices, and it was possible to bring costs down significantly—even during the construction boom and in the Rhine-Main area. I always recommend getting several quotes, comparing them, and negotiating.
