Building a garage, cost $$$$
I think a big thing to consider is the local regulations first. When I went to build my Garage they had lot coverage rule a max size limit on a secondary building. I ended up with a 24 X 36 and a 10 foot ceiling. I built it with a 10'4" and they let it go. My original plan was for a 26 X 36 with a 11' ceiling but was told NO! And because my garage base was over a certian size my walls had to sit on a footing below frost line and the floor had to be poured seperatly and my concrete cost me $6000.00 and I did all the grade work myself!
