Firstly- I've never built a wheel before, the closest I've got is spoke replacement.
There have been a couple of good guides to the wheel building linked to on the forum so that should :!: be ok (apart from time and maybe a re-do because of something stupid).
What is the easiest (detailed) guide for measuring spoke lengths required for a rear wheel motor with a generic rim? Offset will be needed. I don't have the motor yet, I have a suitable double walled rim (not measured yet) but want to get the measuring method clear in my head before I buy the spokes.
 
These will give you all the info you need.
