Plan the footprint, vehicle and storage space, doors, roof, foundation, and position on the lot before construction starts. HomeCat turns those decisions into a coordinated garage drawing package.
Detached garage plans have to coordinate the building and the property. The interior needs practical vehicle, storage, door, and circulation space, while the exterior has to fit local lot coverage, height, access, and setback rules.
A useful drawing set keeps the site plan, floor plan, elevations, foundation, and roof information aligned. That makes the permit review easier to follow and gives contractors a more consistent basis for pricing.
Enter the property, number of bays, vehicles, storage, workshop needs, doors, and preferred roof form.
HomeCat checks zoning and coordinates access, setbacks, lot coverage, grading, utilities, and the house relationship.
Save the design and export the site, floor, elevation, foundation, framing, and quantity information.
HomeCat keeps the project dimensions connected to material quantities and cost inputs as the plan changes.
HomeCat captures bay widths, parking depth, overhead-door sizes, turning clearance, and the path from each vehicle door to the exit.
HomeCat measures slab edges, footing runs, post locations, wall lengths, header spans, ceiling spans, and roof-bearing lines.
HomeCat coordinates windows, service doors, workbenches, cabinets, equipment zones, and clear circulation around parked vehicles.
The measured footprint and perimeter support quantities for excavation, granular base, concrete, reinforcement, forms, and anchor hardware.
Overhead-door widths and roof spans define the headers, beams, posts, trusses, and connectors that shape structural pricing.
The coordinated plan includes overhead doors, glazing, electrical points, ventilation, insulation areas, and interior finish quantities for estimating.
Yes. HomeCat automatically checks the property's zoning requirements and uses them to guide the project. It also flags permit or professional-review items that still need attention.
A typical package includes a site plan, garage floor plan, elevations, foundation or slab details, wall sections, and roof or framing information. HomeCat checks the property's zoning automatically and tailors the package to the garage size, construction, and permit scope.
The building drawings do not, but the site plan usually does. Reviewers use it to check setbacks, lot coverage, access, and the garage location relative to the house and other structures.
Yes, but the intended use affects the layout, structure, stairs, fire separation, height, and code requirements. Describe the use at the start so it is part of the design.
Yes. Door width and height affect vehicle clearance, wall layout, headers, roof loads, and the exterior elevation. Standard sizes also make pricing and sourcing easier.
