[quote=briansd1]To build a garage, my guy is quoting me roughly:
$1,500 for plans to submit (include parcel research, looking up setbacks, buildable area, etc…
$500 if he does the permitting process.
He thinks the city fees will be about $1,200 (up to a max of 5 inspections during the building process).
Of course the cost to build the structure is extra.[/quote]
You can buy your own garage plan for $250 – $400. However, it may need to be “tweaked” a bit by a CAD/CAM operator or engineer for your application (about $50 to $250).
That leaves roughly $2000 for dealing with bureaucracy. What’s your time worth to you, brian?? If it were me, for $2K, I might elect to frequent the planning counter (but I’m the “queen” of bureaucracy, lol)!
