Garage conversion

[Brenngun]

$100K! What are you converting it to a clean room?

[airchitect]

Gotta throw my designer card out there........for an interior fit out that sounds primarily wide open, 100k would be absolutely ludicrous. $250/ft seems way high.

In my neighbourhood, all the garages are full of 5h1t or converted to home Gyms and the cars live in the street as the owners are too lazy to take the trouble to park them in their front yard. I would be the only one in town who parks their cars in the garage.
I would like a $100K garage....it would be hard to prise me out of that.

Start by interviewing an architect.You need plans first and permits, Your garage may not have enough electric circuits, natrural, gas, plumbing in, and drain out. After yiou have the plans then you can bid on the construction. If you are planning to rent the space then you may have city code requirements for the entrance, seperate address, parking. Should be able to get info from your city ADU program.

$100k garage conversion? Is this a joke? Oh wait, we shouldn't take many of your posts seriously

[mannyv11]

find a new contractor - 100K is NUTS for that

Someone sold you a bill of goods. I just renovated 2 bathrooms and put tile flooring throughout my house for around $35K

What do you want to convert the room to? It shouldn't cost you anywhere near that.

I would like to do the opposite.

Same here. I’ve been seriously considering taking out a bedroom adjacent to the garage and enlarging said garage.

Not having a garage, I could do (use) this.

There are members here that spend $10k on aftershave and bags.

And all my posts are serious in my world.

Thinking about it.


Anyone do this?

What's my budget?

One hundred thousand.

One hundred thousand? Okay, I can make that work.

Decision made?

Decision made.

And, are you going to love it?

Or, are you going to list it?

We are going to......

Never seen a $10k project create such a firestorm.

Is this where the soft serve machine is going?

One more vote that the 100k estimate seems crazy high. I demoed an existing patio and deck, new patios in a different location, regraded extensively, replanted ~1/3 acre area, poured concrete foundations, new electrical, new lighting in the back, Mitsubishi split unit, all the permits etc. and added on a 300 sq ft 4 season solarium for not much more than 100k. And they weren’t even the lowest bidder.

[GB-man]

100k will get you a full blown addition around here. A garage conversion should run 20-30k max.

[Chopped54]

I have 2000sqft of garage space and I am currently building an additional four car garage and a 1200sqft apartment with theater above it for right at $100k!
