Sorry, I'm up here in the frozen tundra Northeast. But with that kind of budget, it seems plausible to have done. Good Luck finding someone.

Are you looking for a steel building or stick built? Not that I can help you but you can get a 24x24 steel building fairly cheap.

Sorry!! Mine was a nightmare.. The company that built my metal building ships to Florida. So, I can only tell you who to stay away from. Heartland Steel Buildings!!!

BC I grew up in Tampa but havent lived there in 15+ years . I would say change the title of your thread and add Florida to it . I know we have alot of members here who live down there who should be able to get you pointed in the right direction.

That is an interesting thought.....put your location by your name so the other members won't have to keep asking this question 10,000 times!!! Amazing!

First question.....why block?
I went to jr. high and high school in Brevard Co. Lived in Melbourne Beach, Eau Gallie, Indialantic, Seacoast Shores etc. I know block is sold as the perfect hurricane solution there, but it is expensive because of the labor. Have you priced all the alternatives?
Metal building, Wood frame construction, Metal frame construction and combinations?
Does your budget mean a turnkey job with insulation, all interior finishes and storage and A/C? What parts of the work do you want to do yourself?
What contractors do you have lined up already?
Why a 12/12 pitch roof? You only need that up north for snow removal. You could go flat roof there. You could use block and either steel or wood joists. What wall height inside? Is 24x24 the max you are allowed? Have you checked zoning and easements etc? What is your lot layout and what does the house look like? What style? We need a lot more info and photos.
