I was thinking of having a garage/workshop built this spring or summer. I was thinking a separated 24x24 structure - nothing elaborate. The Chief Financial Office (LOML) of the house is going to need some details for this. I'm not particularly handy when it comes to general carpentry/electrical/roofing/plumbing, etc. but I AM pretty familiar with developing and using project plans for estimating and costing.

Has anyone ever developed or used a "formal" project plans for this? How many folks and how long does it take to get the framing and roofing done? How about electrical and plumbing? I'll be able to estimate the cost of materials when I finish the design but I need to get some quotes for the other work.

I know I should try and do the work myself but I know enough not to tackle such a daunting task on my own. It would never get done.

Thanks for any suggestions....Chuck
