JR:
Since you are doing plans and live you have to get it approved/permitted (quiet) I would just look at plans online or in a catalog.
Out here just the engineer for my my garage was $1500 ten years ago.
I also have a buddy who is doing my plans on ACad who loves doing garages all day long. Maybe scetch it out and I could see what he would charge for stamped plans or he may know where to look for RTG plans also.

^ this is what I did.
And then when it came time to build I did window size and placement on the fly as I eyeballed the scale of the building and built the walls.
I had to add a dormer above the stairs to get the stairway headroom to code. Which is typically 6’8”. At 9/12 that means roughly 9 feet away from the eave for the stair opening

I had a local person who does plans on the side do mine. She charged $500. Not sure what you would be required to have though. I was just doing a remodel and didn't expand the foot print of the old structure. I only needed to get a building permit from the township. They don't really have any requirements. I didn't need to get anything inspected.

Even crazier, we used to just poor the footer & pad to size we wanted then wing the rest. Things like stairwells etc we decided on the fly similiar to what Tex did. If in doubt add more sq footage.....
