I'm looking to build a new garage. Is there any waiting time between pouring the footings, putting up the first few blocks and pouring the concrete floor? How long will stuff need to set?

You can lay on a concrete footing the next day.

You can also mess about filling in the oversite area (hard core, sand blinding, membrane, concrete etc) 24 hrs after laying the blocks/bricks. Don't go mad bashing a compactor against the masonry though.
