You said your families in the business I would still work with an architect. Also get the subs in on the pre-construction phase much more efficient getting everything down on paper before putting it out to bid.

This may be my new favorite thread since Joe currently doesn’t have a project thread. My cousin out in Spokane did a big pole barn but it has support posts throughout the floor area so that kills off space to move cars. If you’re constantly working on stuff then I would recommend detached so chemicals and fumes don’t get into the house. If it’s for show space then attached would be awesome. I would love to build one someday but I need to win the lotto first

We've been thinking about building a barndominium on some of our property as a guest house/entertainment area.

We did a detached metal shop building and absolutely love it. If we buy land one day I’d be doing the same thing as you. Our trusses are 6’ on center and it’s sturdy as hell. You can insulate the living daylights out of them which would help keep heat/cooling costs down. If I were to do it again I’d look into radiant floor heat but I had a budget lol. Just be sure to do your best to attempt to be water proof given its slab on grade.
