If I had the land to put a big shop, I'd have a big shop. We've got less than an acre and some weird layout issues that make it not possible though, and metal building 10 feet from the house isn't an option.
Sooooo that means save like $25-30k and be my own GC, and do it on a more relaxed build timeline?
I agree with the logic of everything you said. We've already been here almost 6 years (yikes, and still no garage) and aren't planning on going anywhere unless something forces us to.
My point was actually the opposite.
The $20k you save will only cost you <$100/month.
And you have the opportunity cost of not having s hop for however longer. Pay the man. Be done. Enjoy.
BTW...youve already paid an architect...ask him if he has any known subs he'd RFQ it to and let a few recommended vendors bid against each other...
