Prefabricated garages – affordable and quick to build.
If you need a garage quickly, prefabricated models are an excellent choice. They can be assembled in a short time and provide reliable shelter for your vehicle. However, make sure to request several quotes before choosing a model, as prices can vary widely. Always compare offers with the same dimensions and materials.

In most cases, garages require a building permit. It’s best to check with your local authorities whether a prefabricated garage also needs approval. You should also plan ahead — discuss with your family how much space you’ll need in the long term.

Factors That Influence the Cost

• Material

• Size

• Assembly costs

• Savings through DIY work

How Can I Save Money?

If you have some construction experience, you can save by taking on parts of the installation yourself. It’s also worth comparing prices from different suppliers. In some cases, you can deduct construction costs from your taxes, even as a landlord. Another option is to buy a used prefabricated garage, which can further reduce expenses.

Are There Any Subsidies?

There are no direct subsidies for building or buying a prefabricated garage. However, several financing options are available. The KfW Development Bank supports certain improvements related to garages, such as:

• Installing burglar-resistant doors

• Creating barrier-free access to the garage

• Improving thermal insulation

• Adding power lines or EV charging stations

You can also check for regional or local grants, especially if your garage includes solar panels or EV charging infrastructure. If your garage contributes to energy efficiency or sustainability, you may qualify for funding.

Possible Additional Costs

You should also plan for extra expenses. For example, many prefabricated garages require a foundation, and its cost depends on the type of soil, size, and labor.

Installation costs can also vary widely. Additionally, most contractors charge travel fees, which differ depending on location and season.

While the garage door is usually included, custom features—such as an electric door—will increase costs.

How Much Does a Prefabricated Garage Cost?

The total cost depends largely on the material and size of the garage. You can choose between concrete, steel, or wood. Options like storage rooms or garages without doors can affect the price as well.
