From the point of view of practicality, outbuildings from this variety of cellular concrete are the best option. Given the low weight of the foam blocks, you can save a lot on the garage foundation, the cost of which is usually ⅓ of the total construction costs. Plus - you do not have to spend money on lifting equipment and paying for hired professionals.
The statement of the question in the form "how much does it cost to build a garage" is not quite complete, so we will immediately have to specify a number of points:
- in what terrain we will build from foam blocks - this largely depends not only on the type, but also on the depth of the "laying" of the foundation,drainage systems and the like + price policy in the region;
- design features - dimensions, type of overlap and roof( their total weight);
- needs just a parking space, or a full garage with a viewing pit, cellar, forced ventilation, connection to the heating circuit and running water.
Cost of materials
* Applied to the Moscow region.
Foam blocks
- Walls - we need products with density( D) 400 - 1,000. Their average price is from 2,400 to 2,900 rubles / m3 with dimensions of 60 x 30 x 20 cm. For a typical garage project, not more than D The cost of 1 unit -about 90 rubles.
- Partitioning - 2 750 - 2 850 rubles for the "cube" for products 60 x 30 x 10 cm. Question - do you need the compartments and adjacent rooms in the garage?
Prices are indicated on condition of self-delivery. If there is no transport, the delivery of the blocks is paid separately.
Other building materials
The choice of these or other materials is a private matter for everyone. Therefore, consider only some, the most typical versions of what might be needed.
- Cement - you can use the M300( brand "for all cases").Packing 50 kg costs about 200 rubles.
- Sand - sold "cubes".On average, 1 m³ will cost 180 rubles.
- Filler( for mortar).Gravel - from 1,150, crushed stone - from 1,900( rub / m³).
- Bar - it will be necessary for the arrangement of the Mauerlat. The price for 1 п.м.- 14 rubles and more( depends on the cross-section, the degree of drying and the wood species).
- Styrofoam - for indoor insulation is the most acceptable option. Fastening - the technique of gluing to the substrate. This is enough to ensure the quality of fixing without additional setting special / dowels. The price is from 1 280 rub / m².
Waterproofing - from 36 rubles / m²( glass).The ruberoid for insulation of the garage does not make sense - and it is difficult to mount, and the useful life is small( from the strength of the year 4).
On what can you save
- Time of purchase. In the private sector construction is seasonal, so the prices for materials are somewhat "walk".In the winter, when demand falls, they are somewhat smaller. If you buy everything you need in advance, you can win on it.
- Do not make a concrete floor. It is enough to compact the soil and fill up small gravel or claydite. In extreme cases, top with a cement "milk".For the garage is enough.
- Limited by simple plastering outside. The main objective of the cladding is to protect the foam concrete from moisture. In combination with waterproofing plastering layer will be enough. And the coloring of a lot of money is not needed.
- Do not equip the observation pit( how to build it, described here).First, it is only needed by a specialist. Secondly, now even in small settlements it is possible to find specialized auto repair shops, so there are no problems with maintenance / repair.
- Foundation. Masonry from blocks of cellular concrete has a negligible weight. From the point of view of practicality for such a garage, there is no sense in erecting a ribbon base. Its installation will require significant costs, especially for cement. There are more acceptable options - the foundation on piles or pillars( for example, asbestos-cement pipes with pouring in their solution cavity).And faster, and cheaper.
Practical recommendations
Walls made of foam blocks will not breathe( features of the material + waterproofing).Consequently, in the garage there will always be an excessive accumulation of condensate. How this will affect the longevity of the car, between the repair periods, it is unnecessary to talk. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure reliable natural ventilation, at least. Maximum - forced draft.
The garage "turnkey"( from the foam blocks) will cost approximately 360 000 rubles( 4 x 6, detached).
