What this figure includes

Attached garages and carports share this category. Detached buildings belong to a different category.

The Census category is “Attached garage/carport” within “Exterior Additions and Replacements.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.

Use it beside a written scope

Is the scope open or enclosed, and are slab, doors and electrical work included?

A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.

Start with the material calculator to put measured quantities next to the scope. Then use your project budget worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
