Prompt Detail:

Here is a basic material list for a 25ft x 25ft x 10ft garage with a 6:12 roof pitch, two-car garage door, and one man door. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and you should consult with a professional to ensure accurate measurements and to follow your local building codes.

  1. Concrete and rebar

    • Concrete for a 4-inch thick slab: ~7.75 cubic yards
    • Rebar (1/2-inch diameter) for reinforcement
  2. Framing lumber (2x4s and 2x6s, pressure-treated where necessary)

    • For walls: Approximately 60 to 70 studs (8-foot length)
    • For top and bottom plates: Approximately 12 to 16 pieces (10-foot length)
    • For roof trusses: Approximately 15 to 20 trusses, spaced 24 inches apart
    • Roof sheathing: Approximately 20 sheets of 4x8-foot, 1/2-inch plywood
  3. Roofing

    • Asphalt shingles: ~10 to 12 squares (1 square = 100 square feet)
    • Roof underlayment (felt or synthetic): Enough to cover the entire roof
    • Drip edge, flashing, and ridge vent
  4. Doors and windows

    • Two-car garage door: 16ft x 7ft or 18ft x 7ft (depending on your preference)
    • One man door: Standard 36-inch x 80-inch pre-hung exterior door
    • Optional: Windows (sizes and quantity depend on your preference)
  5. Siding

    • Vinyl, wood, or fiber cement siding (enough to cover the exterior walls)
    • House wrap and related accessories (e.g., tape and fasteners)
  6. Insulation (optional, but recommended)

    • Batt insulation or rigid foam board for walls
    • Attic insulation (loose-fill, batts, or rigid foam board)
  7. Drywall (optional, for interior walls)

    • Approximately 25 to 30 sheets of 4x8-foot, 1/2-inch drywall
  8. Electrical (consult a licensed electrician for proper installation)

    • Breaker panel, circuit breakers, wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures
  9. Miscellaneous

    • Fasteners (nails, screws, etc.)
    • Caulk and sealant
    • Paint or stain for exterior and interior (optional)
    • Trim and molding (optional)

This is a rough estimate for a standard garage construction. Be sure to consult with a professional and follow local building codes and requirements for your specific project.
