Unlike many competitors, our plans are built-ready and include free foundation changes and an unlimited-build license. Whether you’re designing a cozy cottage or a luxury estate, detached garages can complement any style and fit a variety of lot sizes.

Why Build a House with a Detached Garage?

• Privacy & Noise Reduction: Keep noise and fumes away from your living spaces—great for workspaces or hobbies.
• Lot Optimization: Place your garage at the back or side of the property to maximize outdoor living or courtyard areas.
• Style Versatility: Detach the garage to highlight the house’s architecture, especially in classic and modern farmhouse plans.
• Multifunctional Use: Add a garage apartment, gym, studio, or even a rental unit.
• Better for Narrow or Sloped Lots: Detached garages allow more placement freedom for challenging properties.
