...I have decided to go for brick and am totally confused on price. Please see the pictures below for sizing.
In all cases I will remove the metal shed myself.
The concrete garage involves taking the top of the wall off where the garage will be, creating a concrete base and then adding a garage on top. The price for a higher end 22'3" x 9'6" garage (tiled roof, brick effect front, pvc door and window, pvc facias, guttering) is about £4600 (£1400 base, £3100 garage). Shopping around this price seems about right.
For the brick the differences are that an application to the council is required for the structure and there is a risk that the wall footing will not be deep enough to simply build up the wall.
I have one quote for brick of £7200, which includes a concrete base and the garage otherwise built to the same specifications as the concrete one.
However yesterday another builder came to quote. Whilst I am awaiting the exact price he said £15-20k and starting talking about double skins and that a garage door was not even included.
Now, in all cases the concrete base is required, which makes the brick garage around £5800 i.e. almost double that of the concrete one, which feels about right. The concrete ones go up in half a day and therefore the labour is low, plus the materials are cheaper.
My gut feeling is that the £15-20k quote is ridiculous.
So OcUK, what would you expect the ballpark figure be for a 22'3" x 9'6" garage in my garden?
The images below are what I am emailing to building companies prior to them coming for a quote.
