Plan HG-2374 (1,440 Sq Ft (36x40) 2 Bed 2 Bath Modular / Prefab Cottage Floor Plan (Split-Bedroom Privacy Wing + Center Great Room)) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted modular / prefab cottage blueprint engineered around a 40'-0" × 36'-0" structural grid (1,440 sq ft base footprint, 0.9:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Split-Bedroom Privacy Wing + Center Great Room topology, this layout delivers 1,440 sq ft of conditioned residential living area and 119 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 6 distinct architectural zones: PRIMARY SUITE (12'-0" × 21'-6", 258 sq ft), EN-SUITE BATH (12'-0" × 14'-6", 174 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (17'-0" × 16'-0", 272 sq ft), GREAT ROOM (17'-0" × 20'-0", 340 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 21'-0", 231 sq ft), HALL BATH (11'-0" × 15'-0", 165 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across EN-SUITE BATH, KITCHEN & ISLAND, HALL BATH to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 258 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 231 sq ft) are acoustically buffered from the primary living core and positioned on exterior elevations for code-compliant egress glazing.

From a builder takeoff standpoint, the 40' clear-span width utilizes factory-engineered 2x6 modular box system w/ marriage wall bearing on 152 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~165 framing studs/posts) and 135 linear feet of interior partitions. The 5:12 hinged 5:12 architectural shingle or metal gable roof requires approximately 1,747 sq ft of roofing material (19 roofing squares), while the stem wall crawlspace or full perimeter foundation pours at an estimated 27 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

How much does it cost to build the 40x36 1,440 Sq Ft (36x40) 2 Bed 2 Bath Modular / Prefab Cottage Floor Plan (Split-Bedroom Privacy Wing + Center Great Room) (HG-2374)?

Based on current national residential construction data for modular / prefab cottage structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-2374 (1,440 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $59,500 to $76,000 ($44/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 27-yard concrete foundation, 135 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 1,440 sq ft of heated space—ranges from $213,000 to $260,000.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 1,440 sq ft 2-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2374 features 6 architecturally solved spaces inside its 40' × 36' footprint: PRIMARY SUITE (12'-0" × 21'-6", 258 sq ft), EN-SUITE BATH (12'-0" × 14'-6", 174 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (17'-0" × 16'-0", 272 sq ft), GREAT ROOM (17'-0" × 20'-0", 340 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 21'-0", 231 sq ft), HALL BATH (11'-0" × 15'-0", 165 sq ft). Every habitable room meets or exceeds IRC R304 minimum area (70+ sq ft) and minimum horizontal dimension (7'-0"+) requirements.

Can this 40' × 36' floor plan be built with post-frame, red-iron steel, or 2x6 stick framing?

Yes. Because the outer envelope is engineered on an even 40'-0" × 36'-0" structural grid (152 LF perimeter) with clear-span 5:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for Factory-Engineered 2x6 Modular Box System w/ Marriage Wall, conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
