Garage
I built mine minus the concrete. I had to do footings as it was connected to the house, so I hired out the footings, slab and the couple courses of block on top of the slab. Had the contractor put the sill bolts in for attaching the sill plate.

I would say it is pretty easy to do. The City had a couple handouts about framing the garage door side as it is much weaker because of the huge opening. My local home center, a Menards had a design program that then gave a list of materials which I ordered and had delivered to my yard.

Get a pneumatic nailer to speed things up.

Another piece of advice I can give you is take the extra time to make sure studs are square and properly spaced- the time you save being a little sloppy will cost you three fold in messing around at each following step.
