How much does it cost to build a Garage in 2024?
What is the cost of building a Garage?
The average garage building cost in South Africa varies between R5000 and R12000 per square metre. With garages not having a lot of expenses when it comes to finishings, you can expect the cost to be on the lower end of the spectrum for a basic garage. The average cost of a single garage in South Africa will range from R100,000.00 to R200,0000 depending on things such as roof style, garage door type and if you want finishings like tiles or an epoxy floor installed.
A well built garage can also be ascetically pleasing and will have a great return on investment when it becomes time to sell.
