It's a good choice if you are looking for a confidence‑building project that results in a useful and modern working structure.

We provide complete architectural plans (which includes Florida PE-stamped structural plans for Florida projects) for a 1 Car, 1,097 sq. ft. garage engineered for the conditions at your site. With a 26' x 24' footprint, this design fits comfortably on a small lot or in‑fill parcel. Like all our plans, we designed this one for straight-forward, low-cost construction.
This 16’x24’ garage plan is one of the easiest to construct that you will find (Mended Oak Scale 2 out of 10). The plans are for a one-car garage with a porch on the side. The structure features four walls and a roof, with a sloped-roof porch along one side. If you are handy but have never taken on a construction project before, this is a great model to start with. A motivated two-person crew with a little skill and motivation can complete this project over a series of weekends. It’s an excellent way to discover your capabilities, build confidence, and teach trades to the next generation, while also adding a practical, usable space to your property.
Upon completion, you will have conventionally framed the roof and created spaces with a vaulted ceiling, though an open ceiling is also an option. Additionally, you will construct balloon-framed rake walls alongside traditional platform-framed walls and install windows and doors.
Based on prices at Lowes and Home Depot, as of February 2026, the materials would run about $19,000. The materials for the shell (foundation, framing, siding with trim, windows, doors, and roofing) would run $14,500.
Note: We strongly recommend having garage doors installed by a professional. Attempting to load a garage door spring improperly can result in serious injury or death.

About the Finished Product: When the project is complete, you will have 384 square feet of enclosed space and 240 square feet of porch area. This is an excellent solution for adding a modern-looking storage shed, workshop, or garage to your property. The structure also serves well as staging and storage for a larger build in the future. With a moderately sized space to hold tools, along with a sizable, covered porch, this plan is great for a small workshop.

Subnote: Truss Plans are purchased separately from a truss manufacturer and aren't part of the plan-set price. If you'd like to use trusses, we recommend getting three quotes. (Florida Only: After you pick the one you prefer, we'll give them the design information they need, review their engineered truss package for your home, and update your plans so everything fits together smoothly. Selecting the truss option typically delays delivery by four to six weeks).
