Garage Build.

Anyone built a garage or shop recently? Like in the last two years. What you build and who did it?

My brother just finished a 30x50x18. He used a company out of NC, I'll see if I can get the info. It wasn't cheap. I'm on the hunt for a good company and have run numbers through a number of builders in the area. I'm hoping I can get one started in the next 3 years.

Weird I did not get an email telling me you replied. I got a quote from R and R in NC for a 40 x 60 kit that was $35K. Problem is they don't install down here. Or at all I was told. I got a quote on a metal tube type building from a builder in Darlington that has good recommendations but it was $90K which for the type of building I think is high. Others agree. I'd love to know more about anything you find. I might reach out to Hoover next week.

Hoover Buildings complete one for me back in summer of 2024. They built me a 30x40 pole barn style with a 12’ lean-to on one side, turned out really nice I thought.

Jeff, did you have them do the concrete also, or did you have someone else do it? what was the cost on that one?

Hoover did include it in the build. Altogether I think it came to $13,500 which included under the lean-to as well (1680 sq.ft.). They did use a sub-contractor to finish.

When I get home I’ll dig out the invoice and chime back in with the exact amount.

$13,500 with concrete and building? I'd love to see specs.

I read that as $13,500 for the concrete.

Haha yeah $13,500 for concrete only. I wanna say building and concrete totaled around $60k. That was “turn-key” for the most part which included all doors and windows, insulation, and gutters. I did the electrical work myself, never added that up and don’t care to honestly 😆

Thats more like it, i was thinking the prices must have really changed since i looked a few years ago. Thats more like I was thinking.

It will never be like it was!

No, I built my 30x30 for $12K in 2010. Those days are long gone. I am assuming my next shop will be in the $100K range... yee haw!

those were the days! dang!

SO I'm not getting email notification from this site. @97TJGUZZY anything you can do to help with that? Thanks @Blazer87 for sharing. I think I had Hoover quote me a building back 5 or 6 years ago and it was in the 50K range I believe. The R and R kit is $35K which for a 40 x 60 isn't bad I guess today. But then there is concrete probably another 20K and install if I don;t try and do it myself.
