Cost For Building a Small Garage/Shed

[Adam.I]

Hello all. Does any one have a rough idea how much it will cost for a shed/garage to be built? Wanting it to store the motorbike, and store tools associated with maintaining/repairing. I think something along the lines of 8 feet length, 8 feet high and 6 feet wide.

Are you building it or are you going to get someone to do it for you?
If you want it brick built, quick calculations say about £600 for the bricks (at 45p each, you'll probably be able to get it cheaper)

Then you've got the roof and everything to sort.

Depends what you need in terms of security and/or planning permission.

IIRC wood buildings are still classed as temporary structures (within a certain size, garage size is normally ok) and so you can probably get away without express permission.

If so then a concrete base (hardcore and cement, needed for whatever you're putting on top) should suffice with a big shed (look for prices in the likes of Argos or Wilkinsons) should suffice. Can internally lag/insulate and provide electrics. Wilkinsons site has a 10x15ft for £750.

Alternatives are concrete panel garage or brick built. Alternative to brick is breeze block and then render. These structures may need permission. You pay for planning permission (although builders can normally do the legwork and add the cost and their time to the bill). Brick built will require footings (foundations) to be dug first.

Can't give any idea of cost as it's been a while since done this kind of thing. If getting in a builder then best get a recommended one and then if possible more than one with quotes.

Personally, i'd go for something like this.

50 x 50 box frame. (Roughly worked out is about 7lengths)
Corrugated sheeting walls and roof.

It's shouldn't cost anymore than about £2-300 for all the materials, but maybe a bit more if you can't weld or make it yourself.

I'd be getting someone to build it for me and would need it to be as cheap as possible. Just wanted to get some rough idea of how much it would cost.

Anyone know what a decent bricky would charge and roughly how long it would take?

My Dosey Brother built his own shed/cabin a few months ago... It's massive, has state of the art security and all mod cons etc. Must've cost him over 2 grand all together.
Some neighbour complained and he now has had a few letters from the council to take it down..

Make sure it's within regulations and get planning permission if needed, my Brother's turned into a loon trying to track down the person who grassed.

Hi

From a relative looking at building a fairly large garage (18' x 26', 2 front up and over door plus a rear up and over door).

Brick built they were quotes £13k.

A prefab concrete one is £2k for the base (which is a bit bigger than the garage) and under £4k for the garage itself.

All the best

A rough calculation, im a trainee bricky. Who is also quite drunk.
Brick lench 225mm, height 75mm including beds + perps.
length 2.4m = 11 bricks per course x 2
height 2.4 = 32 bricks
width 1.8 = 8 bricks per course

30 bricks per course
32 x 30= 960 bricks for 3 walls.

Dunno what sort of size door you want.
Then you have digging footings, foundations, roof, dpc, floors, doors ect. By law only aloud to build 6 bricks high a day.
For every 10m3 of brickwork at 4:1 ratio you need 30kg of cement and 148kg of sand.
Will try and find out from my tutor a rough price but can't really help with pricing.

Grab yourself the latest copy of car mechanics magazine, has a feature on prefab garages. A single garage in steel was about a grand all in, and you can build it yourself with a couple of mates. You need to sort out a decent concrete base first.

as in THIS 'ERE thread, we've just got a 14ft x 8ft shed for under £600 - would have been built for the price too if there wasn't a fvck up with the base...

Just had a look on the B&Q website and they are having a 15% discont on sheds at the moment. Thinking of getting either of these two:

Here and here

What will I need in terms of a base to make it secure?

Remember to try and get as big as you possible can now. Every extra foot you can squeeze in now will make it cheaper per sq ft inside. When the materials tools etc etc are all on site the extra foot or two's worth of materials won't increase the total cost hideously.

Remember its very easy to fill up a garage/shed over the years!

Say you kept 8 foot long but decided to go a foot wider to seven foot. You would pay for an extra 2 foot of walling and 8sq ft of concrete base but then get and extra 8sq ft of storage space.
