Thankyou
Every customer has different needs.
I only recommend what I've seen, and dealt with from 35 years or so of experience.
Honestly in our region, climate, western PA. A little stain every 10 years or so to keep it looking new, and the cedar benefits of warmth or cooling and quiet sound deadening outweighs other products in the long-term

Far west MD as you can go
I'm in the Cleveland Ohio area. I might add, unfortunately. I tell people I used to live in the country but now I live in the city and I never moved. What used to be a wonderful patchwork of farm fields, orchards, vineyards and woodlots is now covered in McMansions. The house I can throw a rock and hit from my back yard, new construction, just sold for 780K. We will eventually move after we both retire.
Wow! My folks sold their home in Green Township I want to say around 2010, It was a nice place on a couple acres with a good sized newer shop in the rear and they had a hard time getting 150,000 and it took forever to sell, Times have changed!
Edit: With the Rubber factories and other mfg plants moved to Asia, The Economy there took a hard hit! I am glad to see that it has recovered. My uncle worked for Goodyear there in Akron at the Blimp Hanger.

Not wanting to slide the thread, but 2010 was soon after the housing market collapse IIRC. Where I live it's unreal how many new housing are being built and how much they sell for. I would like to know where all these people are working, because the Cleveland area as far as I know is not doing so well. These houses at their prices are not going to factory workers, and there are not many factories anyway. These houses are priced for doctors and lawyers. Cleveland clinic has facilities all over the place. Apparently many people are consumers of health care. My daughter works at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and she says they pay her "a ridiculous amount of money." The guy who bought the nearest house to me, the 780k one, is a dentist. It's nuts!

People are working remotely. Getting paid California money (for example) to live any place they want.
Same thing happening here in Tulsa. Tulsa is literally collapsing ingastructure wise and houses keep going up. Land going up. Even out in the middle of nowhere.
Hum, built, as in designed, framed and finished several houses plus shops. Prior planning and more planning.
It ain't big enough, mine ended up 45x45 with 12' celings
Central heat and air, gas
Celing fans and 4' tube lights around the walls
Put a gas outlet outside for casting, grilling, etc.
Spray foam insulation, closed cell exterior walls and roof
A small 12" operational window with bars mounted.
90 gallon standing air compressor unit, schedule 80 pvc, QC and water filter at each point
Flake Board, painted white with a heavy knap roller, 1/4" lattice on corners, 1x4 base boards, cheaper than sheet rock.
Epoxy the floors, latex single mix, light grey. 16-18" rollers, thougher than woodpecker lips.
10' Roll up, insulated, sealing, garage door. Works for moving in a mill and lathe. Put 8' sloped ramp outside the RU door
Lay out your equipment on a to scale drawing and do the electrical and air to it.
Plan for a rotary phase converter
Hookup on exterior of the interior panel for a generator
Make room for a big safe room, you can form and pump it, reinforce the floor slab for the weight. Reinforce your clan corners the rebar across the corners.
Wire for cameras if ou want security
Use unfinished birch cabinets, upppers and lowers, I got 50 units before I was done. Put Sander sealer on them.
Work bench two 2x12, with a 1x2 between, a 2x8 as a back splash. Screwed and glued with pipe clamps. Use a belt sander to surface. Great for vices, presses, etc.
Vacuum system for wood shop area, Put a door off the return air for the AC
Rough in the plumping for a toilet, below the concrete surface. Just a stub for cold water and a flange for a toilet.
Water spicket frost proof, outside the walk in door, right in the wall for the toilet water.
I would do metal siding to match the roof. A house is rated, not an out building.
An amplifier with antenna for cel phone, due to steel roof.
Speaker wire for any music, do wire before the wall covering, 2x any plugs you think
