Building, complete, was ~$9000 ... I had the shop custom built and it took 2 guys 3 days to erect. It is 24 x 54.
18' single front and 12' roll up in the back. 1 pass door and completely insulated (makes a HUGE difference inside). Therear was a covered awning that I enclosed myself and I built the 16' swing doors on the very back.
Concrete and flat work was ~$7000 ... I have embedded, reinforced floor plates installed with blind nuts welded on the back side to attach anchor points. I had the slab poured at 6" and have 12" x 12" concrete beams running the length and width. I also used 1/2" rebar for strength.
I had a sidewalk poured from the shop to the back porch and the driveway to the shop was 165' long and 12' wide.
I ran RG59U and CAT 5 from the house to the shop, buried in conduit. In seperate conduit, I ran 10/2 copper from my shop to the house.
