Hello,
I’m currently researching garages. Since we will most likely be building a timber frame house, I am generally open to a wooden garage as well. The garage should be 6x9m (20x30 ft) in size, so a large space with a sectional door, plus a separate storage room with doors leading both to the garage and to the garden, including a window and electrical outlets. Ideally, it should be insulated, with a flat roof without greenery. We are building without a basement and therefore want to plan for a sufficiently large storage room inside the garage. If there are any users who have built a similar garage, it would be very interesting to know the total cost including the foundation. Unfortunately, I have no idea what price range this would be in or the differences in price and quality between wooden garages and precast concrete garages.
Thanks

We are getting a 6x9 layout – meaning 6m (20 feet) at the front and 7.6m (25 feet) at the back due to a sloped plot. Therefore, concrete is out of the question, and timber framing was significantly more expensive than masonry.
So, we decided on masonry. I haven’t added up all the costs yet, but the masonry with the foundation already exceeds 20,000.
