Help with garage build!

[nickm1024cobra]

I bought a lot and will be starting construction next year. Time to build the dream garage. I've been in a tight two car garage for the last 10 years. I have a four post lift and classic car. I will probably buy another project or two over the years.

My budget allows roughly 1100-1200 sq ft of garage. My needs are the following
-room for the lift and a project car or two
-room for two daily drivers
-room for mower, bikes, snowblower, etc
-space for workbenches, tool boxes, etc

I am thinking 36 deep x 32 wide. At 36 deep I could park a daily driver behind the lift/project. My only concern would be how to arrange the garage doors and with a space that big below an upstairs will I need support posts.

Throw out some opinions/suggestions. Thanks!

Height should be enough to allow an SUV on the lift.

Also think shed to get the mowers etc out of the garage.

My garage is 36 wide, and 32 deep with 3 overhead doors along the wide side. I like this configuration, but I wish I had put a door on a 32 foot wall as well. 32' deep is plenty to park a truck in, plus have walk around room and a workbench against the wall. I have 2 daily drivers, a quad, mower, tools, and a ton of hunting gear in my garage. Plus my kids bikes and whatnot. I only wish I went with 12 or 16 foot walls, rather than 9.
