/diy/ - Do It Yourself

they totaled out my garage cause of snow damage. it was a metal pole barn with 100amp sub no concrete.

I have 3k worth of scaffolding and framing nailers, lasers, tools etc. tldr I wanna stick frame myself.

for a 24x36 14ft garage on a pad with frost footers and energy heel ordered trusses and green zip walls and orange zip roof with vinyl and shingled roof no insulation for now.

Does a Range: $16,000 - $23,800 sound reasonable for materials only? Been using Grok 3 to do some rough math and understand code, layout and etc. All the site work will prolly be done by an uncle all I gatta do is rent a mini excavator for 400 for a weekend and no labour cost for site work or concrete work. I can frame myself, roof myself and likely get the trusses up myself with a winch on my scaffolding.

Tell me realistic material only cost and any tips for a garage, I wanna have a really good blower door score and run a mini split and get a lift in the future. It will likely be my shop until I buy more land for my "forever" home.

can I get some tips, I was in the carpenters union and do structured cabling so I feel like this is something I can gc and do majority of everything myself with a dedicated assist.

Can I get tips recommendations and any ideas. I'm looking to get a pretty high blower door score so my energy bill isnt insane but still get all the material paid for by insurance and have the guts done on their dime
