I want to renovate or, more likely, remove and replace my existing detached garage to create a shop space. I am on a city lot and am limited to something around 25' x 25' or so. I want to do as much of the construction as I am capable of, but I will hire out electric, any hvac, and probably foundation (unless it's simple). Plumbing, unfortunately, is prohibited in detached garages here, probably to prevent the space from being used as a residence. I am thinking of a wooden frame building, both to fit in with the neighborhood and because it seems easiest to insulate and do the construction work on my own.
I can follow a building plan, but I don't know enough to create one. I'll need one to get a permit here. I used an architect for a recent house renovation, but this project seems simple enough that off the shelf plans might suffice. Are there good sources of plans available online somewhere? Searches here and elsewhere for shop plans turn up more layout ideas than building plans. I am sketchup capable, if that helps.
Thanks for any tips you can offer.
