Custom garage design fees:
Purchasing a custom drawn garage plan ensures you will get the exact garage design you want with a floor plan that will satisfy all your specific needs and desires. The fee to design your custom plan will typically be $1.50 - $3.00 per square foot based on the total square footage of the design. This fee includes unfinished and finished square footage. Your custom garage design will include up to two (2) preliminary drafts of the garage plan at no extra charge. Additional revisions requested by the client will be charged at $125.00 per hour.
Example Payment and Time Schedule
Custom garage plan fees will be collected in two (2) payments:
Deposit: 1 (1/2 of the quoted modification fee, $500.00 minimum): Due prior to beginning preliminary drawings.
Balance: Due upon approval of preliminary drawings and prior to beginning the detailed working drawings.
Any additional revision requests will be charged at $125.00 per hour. Balance: If a balance is remaining, the amount is due prior to delivery of goods.
Custom garage design process:
- Client will sign a custom design contract and pay the required deposit.
- Our custom design team will provide the first draft of the preliminary design for review within three (3) weeks of receiving the deposit and will reflect all the items submitted on the original custom design request. Please note that the time frame may vary per quote based on current workload.
- Up to two (2) preliminary drafts will be submitted to the client prior to detailing the final construction drawings for the garage plan. After the second preliminary draft, additional design requests or changes not included in the original request will be charged independently at an hourly rate of $125.00 or a flat quoted rate.
- After the client has verified and approved all the preliminary drawings, the balance is required, and the custom garage plan will be detailed and completed within an additional three (3) weeks. Additional design requests or changes not included in the original request will be charged independently at an hourly rate of $125.00 or a flat quoted rate.
- The client will be notified at the time the custom plan is completed. At that time, the final payment will be due in full prior to shipment.

**NOTE: All approximated timeframes presume the client will respond/provide feedback in a timely manner. Any delayed responses will prolong the approximated completion time.**
Additional notes about engineering and building codes:
Our custom garage plans are designed to meet national building codes. We do not guarantee they will meet all local building requirements or building codes influenced by local geographic or climactic factors. It is the responsibility of the owner or builder to ensure these garage plans comply with city, county, municipal and/or state/provincial building codes. Additionally, your custom garage plans will not be sealed or stamped by an engineer or architect. It is the owner’s (or builder’s) responsibility to hire a local professional to review and seal or stamp the plans if required by the building department. This must be handled by an engineer or architect licensed in the state/province where the garage is to be built.
The completed custom garage plans will be emailed in PDF format (5 printed sets or CAD file option available upon request). The construction drawings WILL INCLUDE:
- a) Floor Plans: Garage plan drawings indicating dimensions for construction
- b) Roof Plan: Drawings indicating roof slopes and unique conditions
- c) Exterior Elevations: Drawings reflecting exterior appearance and the types of materials used for the exterior finish and trim
- d) Building Sections: Drawings cut through important locations in the structure
- e) Construction Details: Drawings showing specific construction of building elements at a large scale
- f) Electrical Plans: Basic electrical layout (reflects suggested locations of outlets/receptacles, fixtures and switches)
- g) Foundation Plan: Dimensioned drawings describing specific foundation conditions for the structure
- h) A building license: A single-use license for construction at one location only (NOTE: If design is to be built multiple times, a discounted re-use license is required and available upon request.)
