At any point any of these bad actors - whom this country likely has no clue who they are or what their intentions are - can do something drastic not limited to attacking our power grid; and most Americans aren't prepared for no electricity.

The building itself contains a bathroom with fully functioning plumbing, electrical, and an HVAC system in place already. 

And if your electric contractor is one man, he likely can't put the 40 foot service line back on the building.If the tenants are on a downward spiral they won't get out of it even if they rationally can.

When it comes to anything major like electrical, plumbing, or structural...I think you need a permit.

Instead I have decided to add some extra electrical outlets and put in lights and rent it as a workshop.

I haven't seen anything under 200-250k all in cost  Part of it is detached garage and using existing structure + existing electrical.

It will be dependent on how much cutting they have to do and coordination with other MEP systems such as electrical and HVAC.

They said the building would need to be updated for plumbing and electrical as it was 65 years old. 

Like ourselves, we're not the largest or highest positioned on search engines, but we're all "hands on" (doing the work ourselves, no salesmen!)
