Is this the right plan for you?

Most regret comes from buying a plan that doesn't fit your life. Skim this before you decide.

Great fit if you…
  • Need a workshop or room for 3+ vehicles (3-car garage with 10 ft ceilings and open floor plan)
  • Want a detached garage to keep the main home's street presence clean
  • Need extensive storage or hobby space (1,170 sq ft unobstructed interior)
  • Working with a lot that can accommodate a 40 ft by 31 ft structure
! May not be the best fit if you…
  • Need a garage attached to the main residence — this is a detached structure
  • Want a 2-car garage to save on construction costs — this plan is sized for 3 cars
  • Prefer a narrow footprint under 35 ft — this design is 40 ft wide

About this plan

Garage Plan 1170 Square Feet Jones provides 1,170 sq ft of unheated space, specifically engineered for homeowners requiring extensive vehicle housing or workspace capacity. This detached structure measures 40 ft in width and 31 ft in depth, making it a viable addition to residential lots that require a large footprint for a 3-car front-load garage configuration.

The interior layout benefits from a 10 ft ceiling height, which facilitates the installation of automotive lifts, overhead storage racks, or the parking of oversized vehicles. The open-span floor plan, enabled by a robust truss roof system, eliminates interior columns and obstructions, allowing for maximum utility as a workshop, hobby studio, or equipment storage facility.

Construction specifications include 2x4 wall framing for structural reliability and a slab foundation that provides a stable, low-maintenance base. The 6:12 roof pitch ensures effective water drainage and aligns with standard residential roofing profiles, contributing to the overall durability of the exterior envelope while maintaining a maximum building height of 17 ft 4 in.

Positioning this detached garage allows for significant site flexibility, as it can be located to optimize driveway access or provide a buffer between the main residence and the street. The simple structural design prioritizes ease of construction and long-term utility, ensuring the building remains a practical asset for varied storage or professional needs.

Key Features: 3-car capacity, 1,170 sq ft total area, 10 ft ceiling height, 40 ft width, 31 ft depth, 6:12 roof pitch, 2x4 wall framing, slab foundation, truss roof system, front-load garage.

We compared three plan sources and Archival's pricing + free design call won us over. Our builder said the construction docs were the cleanest he'd seen.
