Buying house, need garage...

[Concrete Video]

OK, so the wife and I are under contract on a house, and hopefully will have the home next month. It has plenty of acreage, so I wanna build a garage/office in the back of the property. I'm curious what kind of expenses I'm looking at for the building itself. I'll probably do a pole building on a slab, I can handle most of the electric, drywall and what-not myself, but have no clue on the cost of materials on a building like that. Are there any websites with building material prices and not just e-mail for quote? I don't need a final answer, just a nice guestimate. Thanks.

Oh, it'll be a large building, as it'll house my in-home video production business, as well as my (future) collection of automobiles and tools. Not sure on total size, could be about anything at this point.

Look online. There are a lot of places out there that will sell you a kit. Here's one:

Go to your local 84 Lumber. They have plans for pole buildings. I built a one that is 38'x24. Steel roof T1-11 siding. 2- 9x7 garage doors, 1-36" man door. I have one more bay 14'x24' of concrete to pour. I ran telephone,cable and power to it from the main garage about 20' away. I have done all the work myself including the concrete and when its finished being shelled (no insulation or drywall) I'll be at about $5,000.00. Good luck, make alot of drawings and sketches before you break ground.

I paid $3,800 for my 30' x 30' Slab. About $9,000 more on The lumber, Tin, and Trusses.
About $1,900 for the 18' x 10' Overhead door, Insulation, Wiring, and DryWAll. Did all the work , except the Slab, mySelf .

I don't want to email for a quote. I'm note sure what size I want, etc, I'm simply browsing at this point.

BTW, thanks for the input everyone.
