How should I set up my garage?
You will need space to put the garage next to the home. Generally, a garage can be constructed at a rate of $50 per square foot, but contractors vary in their rates. A 24×24 garage is ideal for 2-3 cars, and you may need to spend up to $4,000 on a new garage door.
What should not be stored in a garage?
By using the footprint of the garage to include a second-story above it, you can add an apartment, in-law quarters, a man cave, or even an office or artist’s studio without taking up extra space.

How do you layout a garage?
To layout a garage, first consider available space and storage needs. Determine if attached or detached is better. Allow 18 inches of clearance around doors.
Where do you start building?
Develop a plan first. Find a garage plan or design your own. Consider subcontracting parts like the slab. Make a bill of materials.
In limited space, a 16×24 garage fits one car plus workshop. Get single-car garage plans. Standard two-car garages work well too.
