Construction Cost Garage Parking
How do you determine the construction cost of new garage parking facilities? Typically parking garage pricing is determined on a per space basis. So the more spaces and the more levels the parking garage has, the more the parking garage will typically cost.

Construction cost of garage parking varies widely depending on the type of material used in construction, the available land for the site, the location of the site, and whether special features or environmental concerns will be a factor.

In addition to construction costs, garage parking facilities also incur costs due to interior systems put in place for human drivers. Systems like driving lanes, exhaust systems, passenger elevators, lighting, security cameras and building maintenance are typical examples.

Reducing Construction Costs
All the ongoing costs above can be eliminated with the use of automated or robotic parking garages. While, at the outset, automated garages may cost just as much to build as standard garages, maintenance and other costs necessary for the operation of standard parking garages are eliminated, thus reducing the cost of operation per space over time. In addition, automated parking garages can provide more spaces, while still utilizing the same physical area as a traditional garage. In automated parking garages all the spaces are placed tightly together and a powerful robotic arm moves the cars from the parking pad to its designated space. Sound like science fiction. Hardly. Patented three-motion technology is now available to build highly efficient automated parking garages in a city near you. They are already a part of city life in many international cities.
