Garage Apartment Advice Needed

[cabanaboy]

I am building a garage apartment and am looking for suggestions of contractors. Any memebers care to share their experiences? PSF? Construction time? Lessons learned?

Need a little more info. Are you building from scratch? Tearing down an old garage? Finishing out a shell? You can build a shell garage with an empty upstairs, including slab, for around $30,000, give or take a few thou. This will get you a 2 car garage, and an empty room upstairs of roughly 600 square feet. Finish out on the apartment could add $30,000 to $50,000, depending on how nice the finishes are, and how nice the bath and kitchen are. Bath and kitchen will cost the most, followed by AC.

I'm looking to build from scratch. 800-1000 build out for living with a low trim level. I imagine I'll have a hard time finding a contractor to work on something so small.

Any contractor reccomendations or tales of experience?
