^^^ I agree 100% ^^^

The other thing being mentioned is height.....10' min and use box trusses.

Wire plugs 8' apart and 4' off the ground, no bending over, wire lights and plugs into the attic, plenty of power outlets at your work bench. Wire your fuse box into 5 zones, a 220V one as well.

How big is your lot as you may want to consider and OH door at the front of the garage? This way you could for example; back your vehicle/boat through the garage into your yard; "a drive through if you may"

What I know now!

Too late for me but not for you...You will get a lot of good ideas here....Take your time and plan it out well. Don't cheap out either as you will regret it later.
Good luck
