Estimate the cost of building a garage or carport based on real material prices from DPWH and PSA data.
An open carport costs approximately ₱3,500–₱6,000 per sqm, while an enclosed garage with CHB walls costs ₱6,000–₱10,000 per sqm. A typical single-car garage (18 sqm) costs ₱65,000–₱180,000.
A carport is an open structure with roof and posts only. An enclosed garage adds CHB walls and a steel roll-up door for security. A carport costs roughly 40–50% less.
Detached structures under 20 sqm may not require a permit in some LGUs, but enclosed garages and concrete-slab roofs generally do. Check with your local building official.
