If you\u2019re looking for a garage that is cost effective and quick to build, you might want to consider purchasing a steel garage. Steel garages are great for home use, small business storage and even industrial applications. <\/p>\n
Most steel garages are prefabricated, meaning the major components are made in a factory. When the components are delivered to your site, the garage just needs to be assembled. If you have construction experience or you\u2019re particularly handy, you can save a significant amount of money by assembling the garage yourself. <\/p>\n

Steel garage kits come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and configurations. You can build a one- or two-car garage, or you can save time and money by opting for a basic carport. Garage kits can be ordered with custom features such as windows, special doors or lighting, too.<\/p>\n
Prices vary based on size and design. They\u2019re also influenced by factors such as local materials and labor costs. Typically, steel garage kits cost anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000. Carport kits fall on the lower end of that price range, while a 50×100-foot garage with a workshop would fall on the high end. However, those prices do not include the foundation or installation. <\/p>\n
Looked at another way, budget about $10-$25 per square foot for a steel garage, including the foundation and installation.<\/p>\n

Wood garages are the more traditional choice. Wood was the building material of choice long before anyone had thought of using steel. As with steel garages, prefabricated kits are available. Or, you can hire a builder to construct your wood garage from scratch. <\/p>\n
Prefabricated wood garages are similar to prefabricated steel garages. They are sold in a variety of shapes and sizes, and you can custom order features such as windows, doors ventilation systems and lights. The factory-made pieces come completely ready to assemble, with holes for bolts and fasteners already drilled. <\/p>\n
Wood garages are more expensive than steel garages. But the total cost depends on many factors, the biggest one being whether you purchase a prefabricated kit or hire a builder. The cost is also influenced by the size and configuration of the garage and how much of the construction you take on versus hire out. <\/p>\n
A very small prefabricated wood garage might cost 10,000 to $15,000, compared to about $5,000 to $8,000 for a similarly-sized steel garage kit. That does not include the cost of the foundation or labor. A wood garage built from scratch can easily cost many tens of thousands – even $100,000 or more. <\/p>\n
