Never mind cribbing materials, rebar, etc. And that assumes you'll pour it yourself.
The $4000 package from Totem doesn't give you everything you need either. A few extras:
- Siding and drainspouts $900
- Electrical $500
- Garage door opener $300
Then add tools you need to buy- I've budgeted about $500 for tools for my garage project, and I already own a selection of hammers, drills, saws, etc.

So around $10k for a 2 car garage? I'm thinking of doing one, and the pad is already down.
