A lot of times there is only one 16" stud center between the doors and on the end walls. On my garage I had the architect put two for 32" between the doors and the on end walls. I plenty of room in between cars, but the sides can be tight depending if there is anything on the wall.
As for depth. 24-26' min. None of this 19-20' seen in spec homes.

My shop will assume 14X20 per car
Rule of thumb: Assume $100 per sq. ft. if you want a good (not great) and finished shop. My translation for you gearheads: This would be like a 3-series BMW grade garage. (Not including the price of land.)
My project started this week as well, although the first week we are already one week behind schedule. 3600 sqft shop.

Roof and gutters over 30k? Would have loved to be that contractor! I'm looking at 70k all in for a big two car including lifts, four side brick with partial basement and blowout expansion of existing laundry room to connect to garage. I'm assuming location is a big factor here.
2100 sf flat insulated roof 25 yr warranty special color is the roofers cost.
Add stainless steel skuppers copper downspouts drains - again it was close to their cost.
I think it's helpful to be adding on vs new all steel no vertical beams structure.

Damn, you guys live in some expensive areas!!
In Charlotte, you can buy an entire 3000 sq ft HOUSE for less than $300k!!
We're looking at moving and building a new house and a separate shop/garage - since we can't in our neighborhood - but we've hit a bit of a dilemma....we found a perfect 2 acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac in a small neighborhood (16 lots) with relatively no/minimal restrictions. Want to build the house with a 3 car attached and 3/4 car detached. However....county ordinance restricts impervious coverage to 6% of the property, which is only about 5,200 sq ft....impervious includes anything that is not "natural", like the building(s), driveway, patio, walkways, etc. The property is in the watershed zone for a lake that feeds Charlotte water supply. But here's the kickers:
-We currently live on that same lake and have 5500 sq ft of impervious on 3/4 acres of land. It seems the new ordinances went into effect in 2000 and this neighborhood was planned in 2001, so they must comply.
-EVERY SINGLE house in that neighborhood except 1 violates the impervious rule...and its shown clearly on the county portal website that they violate it (one house is at 9980 sq ft of impervious on 2 acres!!) so it's not like they're hiding it.
Calls to county planning and zoning confirm that we can only build 5200 sq ft of impervious to get our CO.
A builder we talked to said to build the buildings under the amount, then pave the driveway and do the patio after the CO is issued...risky IMO..
Anyone have a similar issue?

What I would give to have acres of land. Have same issue with impervious covering here too, although it's 40% coverage. I used permeable pavers for my driveway when I built my old house. They look like regular driveway pavers but are permeable and were allowed to not count towards my coverage limits.
Dreaming of a more than a one car garage.
