Single Car Garage Plans Information

If you're considering building a garage, a single car garage is the simplest to build, and often the easiest to find plans. Single car garage plans are available online, in magazines and at home improvement stores. Before building or even before purchasing plans you will want to pay a visit to your local building control department to be sure you have all the information and approvals you may need before starting this project. The department will be able to provide you with information about site and foundation planning, building requirements and codes in your neighborhood and any labor you must hire. If you have spoken with someone at the building control offices before purchasing your single car garage plans consider yourself smart because they will tell you if you will even be allowed to build on your property, what type of structure is permitted and what is safe. Best to save yourself a lot of unnecessary work and effort on something that may or may not get approved. Research first, build second.

With the initial stages out of the way you should then consult a professional, especially if you are developing your own single car garage plans. Ideally, a single care garage should have a depth of 24 feet, and a width of 12 feet minimum. Any smaller than this will be too cramped to open your car doors without hitting the wall and will leave no extra storage space. If you drive anything larger than the average sized sedan it is wise to measure your vehicle with the doors open as well as the hood and trunk to allow for proper clearance. There's nothing worse than building a garage only to find your specific car won't fit!

Many single car garage plans can be found online for free depending on your design needs. Others will be available for purchase. Before settling on a plan you may want the expert eyes of a professional take a look over the plans to make sure they are sound. Several contractors may have a specific company they recommend which can make finding reliable plans much easier. If you are using hired labor to build your garage check with them to see how many blueprints will be needed so you can order the plans all at the same time and also budget for this expense. In most cases several copies will be needed.

Decide upfront what design you will want on the exterior as well as the interior. Your garage, whether attached or detached, should always match your existing home. Don't risk decreasing your property value because you didn't feel like putting forth the effort to make your structures match. Additionally, decide whether to install plumbing so you have running water available and any electrical requirements. It is much easier to do all this upfront rather than deciding years later that, yeah, you should have included plumbing. You'll end up tearing down walls and rebuilding if you add these things in later rather than during the initial construction. Save your money and your sanity by doing it right the first round.
