Seems Excessively Expensive for a garage Quote - nearly 40k...

Darkslcie

I've recently got planning permission granted and have start going down the path of looking at quotes.

Its a 40 square meter garage (430 square feet)
(done to a house standard)

I already have all the doors and windows on hand, with the exception of the main insulated roller door which is being made for me at a cost of €1790.00

So all the doors and windows come to 2k.

The contractor quoted me 33,000, for the build - minus the electrical and plumping work. I'm getting some local guys i know to do this.

I'm waiting to hear back form these guys but i'd say about 3k for the work.


so does 38k seem excessive for a 40 sq meter garage?

It does to me...

Edit

I'm located in a small town just outside Galway city
If anyone can recommend a contractor, I'd be delighted to call him up.

€950 Per square Meter for a build to housing standard, sounds quite cheap to me. The fact that its a garage is irrelevant if you are building to to housing regulations.

Dublin prices are around €1200-€1500 depending on finish and more!

Maybe i'm using the wrong words (maybe not)
When i say house standard I mean, cavity wall insulation, plastered inside. insulation A frame roof (without it being floored), water and electrical coming from the main house. Concrete flooring. red brick finish on one side.

No fire / stove, kitchen, bathroom, attic, etc,

sydthebeat

did you get 3 quotes?

thats the only way to compare.
we know nothing of access, ground conditions etc

Darkslcie

only have 2 or 3 quotes

at the time of writing i had one at 33,000
Just got 1 more at 28,000 - which seems more reasonable

And one over the phone (without seeing the plans or the site) at 40,000 - I'm ignoring this one for now
