I have a very reasonable contractor. His estimate is about $75k for the build including full stucco exterior and metal tile roofing shingles

some updates. Long time but much has been accomplished:

all electrical, plumbing (air and water lines) so the insulation and drywall was done




taping and floating the drywall. I'm leaving the surfaces without texture so a longer process for floating is being done. Also, I put up 3 50' air hose reels in the ceiling for easy access




installed #13 8' strips of T8 high output 4 bulb fixtures. This keeps it plenty bright in the garage at any hour. I had the lights wired so I can turn on and off the lights in banks of 3 to allow the option of running only what I need



the exterior 3-part stucco was completed and the metal roof tiles (hail and hurricane proof) are almost done. The metal shingles weigh <20% of what a traditional clay tile weighs, which allows for less stress on the roof
