I had a 24x24 detached garage built in the spring of 2007 for about $20k; it had basic electrical service but no drywall or insulation.
At the other extreme, I built a detached garage w/ a second floor carriage suite last year for about $120k.
Your costs should come in between the two ;-)

Yeah it looks like in Calgary your house and garage can go up to 45% of the property size. That shouldn't be a problem. I have a 9000sqft lot but my house is small.
