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

My prompt was,
"If my building was 24x36 and I wanted to use energy heal trusses in buffalo, what would my chord and web size need to be to have a high snow load rating and what would that cost be"

tl:dr,

What would be your "ideal" shop if you were in my situation? I'm considering energy heal trusses and later having a "conditioned attic"
let me know of some deepsearch prompts to research bros. I really am so excited and idk what my footprint and shell should be
