Garage Setups
What it cost

Work out what your garage will cost

The budget calculator takes your dimensions and breaks the job into the categories a published setup records, so you can price the work before anything is ordered. The sample below shows the shape a real breakdown takes. No member has published a cost breakdown yet, so there is nothing to average.

What a cost breakdown looks like

Category lines, what was done by the owner versus a contractor, and a total that reconciles.

Example breakdownExample
  • ElectricalContractor$3,100
  • InsulationContractor$1,850
  • CabinetsOwner$2,400
  • FlooringOwner$1,450
  • LightingOwner$620

Sample figures from the interactive example. Not real owner-reported data, and excluded from every aggregate on this page.

Category ranges appear as owners publish

Each published breakdown adds its categories here, with the sample size attached so you can see how much weight a figure carries.

Figures are aggregated only from builds whose owner chose to publish an itemised breakdown, excluding any line marked private and excluding sample content. Read the full methodology.
