Cost per sq. ft. to build a workshop building

That's "Mr. Larry" to you, boy.

Don't forget the padded flooring for putting those poleriders (so to speak) to best use.

So what's pullin' your sled, Fred?

As mud. (Typical.)

Forget him (whoever he may be.) Gimme quotes by Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher.) Or pics. Yeah, JPGs'd be even nicer. Nekkid pitchers in 'er yout.

Jim, here is an idea. Go to

Yes, the garden shed folks also build garages. You can get prices right on the web site. Just find your local dealer and, at least for my area, they publish there prices. Even though you plan to build it yourself you can use their numbers to back into an estimate.

Here is SoCal, a 20x20 is $8,875. That does not include concrete pad, or windows, or much of anything except the weather tight shell.

Also, some of these shed-garage builders maintain "showrooms" where many of the sheds and garages they build are featured. You can actually walk around them and see if they will fit your needs.

is a friend... just spent a couple hours talking to him on sunday, as we closed off yet another pennsic.

I looked when I passed it today and the larger garage is there with a $25,900 sign.

It is on Route 16 in Douglass, MA. Just because I've been passing it for

16 years, twice a day. don't expect me to know the name of it. I'll stop and get it tomorrow.

That sounds about right for a licensed contractor's price to me. If you build it yourself or find someone who just does little stuff like that, you might get it for anywhere from $5000-$15000. Prices will vary depending on area, of course.

It's doable for one or two people in a couple of good weekends, if you work hard at it, and have a good idea of how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, it can turn into a nightmare very quickly. A frank talk with the local building inspector and a good book on framing go a long way if you want to do it yourself.
