I've successfully made awnings from .015" plastic and with a wire frame and tissue paper. The tissue paper method looks more realistic, but is a bit more time consuming to do.
There's nothing really hard to either method. Just make a box of plastic and glue it to the building, or make a simple wire frame and cover it with paper. I never bothered with dimensions since real awnings were different sizes. Just find some photos of real awnings and guesstimate the measurements for your own situations.
