The only difference between a coloursteelgarage is the cladding and finishing lines e,g facings and scribers so you could get say a cheap skyline or versitile kitset less the coloursteel and clad in timber ,you should be able to do for a lot less than 30k

You can buy a weatherboard Granny flat for $30,000, wo I imagine a garage would cost less than that.

We just finished something very similar for $21,000 electric garage door etc so id say you'd get something finished for way less than $30,000

Agree should get a very good garage for $30k we are in the process of erecting a 6m X 6m garage and what a hassle the red tape is, concrete footings 700X700 X6 of them and a couple smaller for the posts and steel brackets 6.4m of concrete, using colour steel two roller doors.

You may not get it for 30k. 7 x 9 with 2.7m stud is a lot larger than the standard 6 x 6 in both floor area and wall area. First to check though would be the district plan to see if you comply, looking mainly at yard setbacks, overshadowing, site coverage and vehicle manuveoring. Otherwise a Resource Consent will be required = $$$$ Next problem is that a 9m long space without 1 wall at right angles, excluding the exterior walls, falls outside the building standard not requiring specfic design and would require a Chartered Engineer to design some or all of the bracing. Next is the weatherboard. I haven't done any pricing for a while, but a QS book I have suggests $105 a sq (installed and painted) for 150 x 25 Pine FJ PP bevel back weatherboard which feels a little high but gives you an idea. Prefinished coloursteel is a lot cheaper. While getting a kitset building less the cladding is a good idea, it may not be possible as these outifts have deals with their suppliers that they will buy so much product each month / year and have to make each sale count. You may be able to on sell the coloursteel cladding to offset the cost.

You ain't see nuthin' yet. Sad for all rate payers. People working in council have lifestyles to maintain. If you life in the Auckland Council areas where land values were used for rating, the rates increases are limited to 10% a year for three years. And then, no cap to increases so that it is fair to all rate payers across the supercity. What a load crap! What is the JK govt doing about it! These increases is also good for govt as there is a high take for GST for increase rates. It's every person for himself/herself, mate you have to suck in the increases as a man/woman. Our rates on North Shore, over 25 years. From $500 plus to $2000.
We crossleased so it's only half section. We now pay waste water separately which was included in the rates (another $750). We had daily rubbish collection in the 1980s, now we pay $2.00+ a bag once a week collection. We have to pay for property searches. In the meantime the mayor had a fat pay rise from $80k to what $240k plus. This the price for living an a peaceful, beautiful, green city of Auckland. Rather than complaining I suck it up and work as a Auckland Council volunteer so that if more of us did that the rates might not go up so much. Haha!

Yea I was going through a box of old papers when I found a few rates invoices from back then. To make it worse, they separated the enviro rates at about 5 or 6 years ago & we pay that separately at about another $200 on top now

for 63 sq M its gunna cost you all of your $30000- may get close if done by garage company BUT picking private builder will be over $30000 as we had a 8.6 x 8.6 M ( 74 sq) built with only one BIG door and all as you say and was near $30000 all up a wee while back.

30k Thats $28500 more then my 4.2m x 6.4M x 3m H cost me 22 years ago. Tho to be fair it was a s/h shed that got widened & liftedas we put it together, my idea & fully CC/ permits etc
My oh my how times change. I also had a large 3 bedroom house fully rewired for $1900 (original old switches used)
Would be looking at something like $25000 for the same work now.

Even though your council says they are ONLY increasing the rates by3%remember thats 3% of LAST years Rates and next year it will probably be another 3% of THIS years Rates.Its a very misleading way of getting across Rates increases, time the media told the true story instead of reporting Council news releases aboutmisleading percentage increases.

1K builder for2 weeks!Thats only $100 a day - its hard to find qualified builders for that money

Yeah . times everything by 25%. Nothing ever goes to plan if you are talking about building and relying on someone other than yourself. I wouldn't believe half of the peeps on here about they got this built for this and that built for that . its the little things that will add up and get you . the $103.00 to Bunnings for the 100mm long Tech Screws . the $48.00 (or whatever) for the extra bit of Strap Bracing you need because the old one was a meter too short. It all adds up. There are sheds on this block bigger than houses and I know how much each one cost and have a ball park (because i never kept detailed costings - but I am the one that paid the bills so know) idea on what the 'extras' cost on top of the basic construction ie. 3Ph wiring, sewer, water provision etc. And as a rule of thumb for you - whatever a kitset costs - double it to get it up for starters. Nothing is cheap nowdays.

One of mine is a builder . he wouldn't be doing any shed building for that sorta money - you might get a hammerhand though.
