Hi All,

Can anyone out there give me an approximate cost to build a new double garage in Brisbane?

My house has an existing brick double garage (with a tile roof) that I want to convert into a lounge room/home theatre room. I want to put a new double garage, approximately 6m x 7m, in front of the existing double garage. I already have a concrete driveway that is wide enough to be floor of the new garage. The new garage will have a flat colour-bond roof, and instead of brick I thought to use something like blueboard for the walls (and then render over the boards). I want to re-use the existing garage door. The new garage will need to be physically connected to the existing garage (i.e. it won't be a stand-alone garage). On the front of the garage I want to have a simple fascia to hide the roof line.

My driveway is long enough such that the front of the new garage will be 6m from the road, so I don't think I will have an issue with the local council.

I have had a good search through the forums but I didn't find an answer to what I am looking for. So I hope someone will be able to help me out!

Cheers

Luke
