Looks great, but in the second pic, the middle upper cabinet, have them remove the rails to get a cleaner look and symmetrical lines. It was unnecessary to build another box.

We were also interested in converting 1 of our 2 two car garages into living space to include a bedroom, adding a shower to an existing adjacent half bath, and adding a small office.
All told would've added 429sq ft to the house but was all already covered under the roof. Had biddable plans drawn and a contractor gave us a bid - $154k (~$350/Sq ft). Just insane. Construction costs are just out of control.
I've learned the hard way over the past 9 years of completely renovating my house, inside and out, that the only way to control costs is to DIY as much as you can and sub-contract the rest yourself.
Find some framers, plumbers, electricians, sheetrock guys, painters, finish carpenters, etc. and bid it yourself. It's a pain in the arse finding folks, but managing these types of projects is very doable.
Dealing with EBR permitting office sucks arse as a homeowner, but if I can do it, you can too.
