Being in Houston you better plan on AC and possibly heat. I went with a 2 ton Mitsubishi mini-split which has 20 SEER and is whisper quiet. Plan on the air compressor being outside in a room or inside in a room for noise suppression. Plan all your airline and electrical drops and then double that number ! Insulate to the max including the garage door. Plan for a lift for the concrete floor pour. LED lighting is very energy efficient and prices are coming down every month. If you are going with a floor finish regardless if it is tiles,paint,stain,clear coat whatever do it when the building is empty. What type of cabinets and workbench you going with ? Good luck and have fun with it.
