So I'm in the process of building a detached 20×30 garage and thought this might help some guys with cost, now consider every area is different but I got a pro quote from lowes because I was making such a large purchase . I'm also doing all this work by myself with help of my dad and Friends except for the concrete. Total quote from Lowe's on a Pro quote I'm saving almost 14% over cost . I have 10 foot ceiling height I have a 14 × 8 garage door. Grading and my concrete ran me 4500$ . My exterior walls with 7/16 OSB 16in on Center 10ft 2×4 studs cost me $2,000 including exterior house wrap 2 windows and one door. A company which is about 45 minutes from me called Overholt Truss has made my Tresses $ 1562.20 for 24 16 in on center . My 24 sheets of 7/16 OSB on the roof including my shingles 30-year architectural drip edges and titanium underlayment is $ 1024.00 . My cost on my siding to complete the whole project is another $1800.00 . My garage door is going to run me $ 1500.00. Not a direct cost but estimated cost on my electrical my lighting which is going to be all LED and receptacles is going to run me another. $700.00 I also have another $400 in equipment nails ect and bought a new 30 gal compressor. When I originally set out to build this I budgeted $ 16,000.00 and it looks like I'm going to beat it by $ 2000.00. It's a lot of work but it can't be done I looked at a lot of different designs and I also read a lot of post about guys that have built garages and it cost X if you budget your money right try to get the best deals you can you can build a nice garage / man cave for under 16k . Hope this helps anyone considering building one. Once I get done with the project I'll post pictures from start to end process.
