Looking to build a detached garage? Here are the most common questions about purchasing downloadable garage plans online.
Each downloadable garage plan includes a complete set of fully-dimensioned, permit-ready construction drawings in PDF format. You'll receive a floor plan, foundation plan (both monolithic slab and CMU stem wall), roof plan, multiple elevation views with various garage door style options, electrical layout, construction sections and details, and simplified versions of the floor plan and elevations without annotations for marketing use.
Garage plans are delivered instantly via email after purchase. You'll receive a downloadable PDF file containing the full construction drawing set, ready for printing or submission to your builder or permitting office.
