These are single-storey garage and workshop plans from 21.5m² to 52m², framed in light gauge steel. They suit homeowners who need parking, storage or a workshop, and builders who want a straight, consistent frame that goes up quickly. SmartFraming supplies the steel frames only. Your builder supplies and installs everything else, including the slab, cladding, roofing, garage doors and any linings.
What's included
- Wall and roof framing, fully made up or as flat-packs when required
- Drafting changes to adjust opening sizes and positions
- Grommets for the service holes pre-punched through the framing
- Erection screws to stand the frames
- Detailed assembly plans
- Engineering reports to support a council application, for sign-off by a third-party engineer (on request)
Not included: Cladding, roofing, windows and doors, linings, insulation, foundations and installation are supplied by your builder. Delivery is quoted separately, based on your location.

Sizes and uses
The smaller plans, from 6 × 3.6 m to 7.5 × 4 m, suit a single car, a boat or a workshop. The larger plans, from 6.2 × 5.2 m up to 7.2 × 7.2 m and 8.4 × 6 m, give room for a car with a workbench and storage along one side, and the largest take two cars.
Roofs are mono pitch at 4° to 8° or gable at 5° to 15°, and two of the smaller plans come with either. Door openings can be resized or moved at the drafting stage to suit the garage door your builder is supplying.
Consent notes
Four plans in this range are 30m² or under. A detached, single-storey building of up to 30m² can be built without a building consent if it meets one of the Schedule 1 exemption routes and every condition of that route. Buildings between 10m² and 30m² must sit at least 1m from boundaries and from any house. Our guide to the 30m² building consent exemption explains the routes and the conditions that catch people out.
Check your district plan for site coverage, height and setback rules as well. Garages over 30m² need a building consent. We can supply engineering reports to support the application, for sign-off by a third-party engineer, and recommend cost-effective engineers.
