Anyone paying more than 15K for a 2 car garage is getting taken for a fool!
I would say if you are talking a slab, basic walls, gable roof, economic siding/roof, putting it on level ground, etc. that is a price you could maybe find. It really depends on what you are thinking when you say '2 car garage'.
It's my first post.Couldn't wait after seeing your deck.
I like your deck with tile & it's color.But have a small question - will the nc humidity has any effects on outdoor tiles?And how do you chose the tile color i.e based on kitchen tiles/outer walls/...?

I assume you are referring to my post...
Welcome to the forum. I have found it full of friendly people and useful advice and try to give back any time I have something I think others can benefit from.
To my knowledge, even 100% humidity should not adversely affect a properly-installed tiled surface. I did seal the grout joints and it was put down by a professional who knows what he's doing. I do not ever expect any problems with it and it really isn't all that humid here except for a short period during our hotter summers (lately it has been quite reasonable).
We chose the tile color based on many factors, one was the color of the paint we planned to paint the wood, one was based on the opinions of many of our friends and also an interior designer, and one was how it looked in the sun, shade, and how hot or cool it felt under various conditions (wet, full sun, dry, cold outside, etc). We chose an outdoor rated porcelain tile in, I believe, 20x20 size. We had narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 tiles and I think we made the right choice because my wife and I think it looks unbelievable and we have gotten a lot of very nice comments from visitors so far.
I would say there is no "general" - it depends on whether the slab will go on existing land, fill, or have to be created (or if you want it open underneath like I do which is a lot more expensive), whether you want siding, brick, etc, how much electrical you want, insulated versus non insulated, how many windows, what type of shingles, whether you want plumbing, whether it is attached or detached and if detached, if it is still somehow physically connected, etc.
There would be huge cost variations and I could easily see it going anywhere from $10-15K for a very simple detached 1 car with nothing fancy to $80-100K for a 2 or 3 car with storage and/or room above, brick, attached, etc. Those are purely guesses - I still have no clue what mine will even cost, let alone what you might be thinking of.
That's simply ridiculous. No more than $35-$45 a sq.ft. regardless of what you do to it.

Go price out a 25x25 garage that has a "basement" under the entire thing and tell me where I can get it done for $45/square foot and I'll sign up right away.
