This is accurate but slightly on the high side, I built a 22x22 garage for myself this summer. My total came out to roughly $13000 thanks to a friend who works in concrete. The breakdown went as follows:
$4500 concrete pad
$5700 garage package (wait until April to buy it, Rona has a good sale every year)
$1000 siding and eaves trough
$700 electrical (I went way above and beyond what most would need, I did it myself as well)
$400 for a TV
And a few hundred on various tools I didn't have. The general rule of thumb though is labour and material are equal in cost.
