Feel free to take a look at the Make a Space Kit, which we have been developing for several years which incorporates best practices from a variety of different space outcomes-- coworking, maker space, fab lab, project economy, etc. and leads through the formation and life cycle as a project plan. There are related templates for budget and cost structures.
