Yep, gonna have to figure into the budget bringing new service in from the street with a separate meter for the shop. Alternately, upgrading service to the house and pulling new wire to a sub panel in the shop.
It'd likely be cheaper overall to upgrade the house to a 200 amp panel, and run a 100 amp sub-panel in the shop. Cheaper for the original work, and just one big electric bill instead of two smaller ones. The "basic service" charges that are tacked on to each bill would likely make the two bills substantially larger than just having one.
