The Ready-Made Workshop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to skip the step of having to find room for adding a workshop to your home, no worries! We offer plenty of house plans that come with a workshop in the blueprints or as an option. DFD-7382<\/a> (below) is a perfect example of a plan that gives you that choice\u2015you can have a side-entry three-car garage or a front-entry two-car garage with a workshop in back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll often see workshops as part of the garage. That’s because most are used for tasks or hobbies that need heavy equipment that makes noise and\/or debris. If that sounds like what you’ll be doing, then you almost certainly want your workshop to be in the garage to avoid annoying your family. If your hobby isn’t loud and potentially messy, then we are happy to help customize one of our bonus room plans<\/a> to fit your needs! These flexible spaces can be just about anything, so they’re perfect if you want a craft room, study, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Standalone Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes adding a workshop to your home isn’t possible within the limits of the house plan. Maybe you need all the parking and storage and don’t have space to spare. Or perhaps you don’t want any noise so close to the main house. Whatever your reason, have no fear… we have you covered!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider adding a guest suite or bonus area as part of your standalone workshop space<\/a>. These can create extra room for in-laws or even for rental income if your neighborhood and local laws allow it. Consider all the flexibility that comes with having a guest house AND adding a workshop to your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multipurpose Workshop Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t need an area dedicated to a certain craft or hobby, we encourage you to think about adding a multi-purpose space. That way, you have the room for doing projects or working on tasks, but you can use it for other things when you need to! Many of our customers simply want a place for a workbench and a toolbox or two, but they’d like to get even more use out of the space. DFD-8646 (below) offers plenty of multifunctionality\u2015its drive-under garage layout allows space for a workshop and an open rear area for a pool room, pool equipment, or even a game space. How unique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
