I hope this hasn't been beat to death.
Either one large overhead door in front or two 8' wide and an 8 wide in rear. One 36"x80" door in side
20 w 30-36 deep x 10h walls
I would do electrical work
25 year 3 tab shingles
Overhangs all four sides
No sheetrock or insulation
residential look

Rough cost for materials and rough cost for finished minus electrical.
Property in MASS
I saw 28-30k finished and 6k for material but I don't trust those numbers

siding or exterior choice could easily add 50% to your estimate...brick? Hardy? Vinyl?

Slab? Floor finish could add $5 per sqft. if epoxy as opposed to sealer.

Others more local may have better numbers based on what you are calling residential look?

Is there any concrete? (guessing yes due to residential look). How thick of a floor and is there any reinforcing steel?
Poured walls, block walls, how deep?
Is there any brickwork or is it vinyl siding?
Is the door the cheap skin or a 2-1/8" thick fully insulated door with windows?
How many widows? and cheap single pane or double pane vinyl?

I would say 30k is about right dependent on above. Windows alone could swing you $6k depending on quantity and quality.

Vinyl siding. If I epoxy coat floor I will do it later myself

Need a slab floor and removal of patio blocks in place now

Good questions on the floor. I would like the option of a lift in the future so I would probably need thicker than normal. Assume a four post would put less stress on the floor.

I don't think I would go with insulated doors, few windows and one regular door

Can I ask a dumb question, what's a full foundation for a garage? Footings and a wall a foot or two off the grade?
