Plan HG-2523 (1,600 Sq Ft (40x40) 3 Bed 2 Bath Shop House (Shouse) Floor Plan with Shop) is an IRC R304/R310-vetted shop house (shouse) blueprint engineered around a 40'-0" × 40'-0" structural grid (1,600 sq ft base footprint, 1:1 Square-Bay Proportion). Configured on the Side-Bay Shop + Wet-Core Mudroom Buffer topology, this layout delivers 921 sq ft of conditioned residential living area paired with a 680 sq ft fire-separated workshop/garage bay and 184 sq ft of covered outdoor porch deck.

Inside the conditioned envelope, the floor plan is organized into 6 distinct architectural zones: 2-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (17'-0" × 40'-0", 680 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (12'-0" × 17'-6", 210 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 17'-6", 193 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (13'-6" × 22'-6", 304 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (9'-6" × 10'-0", 95 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 12'-6", 119 sq ft). Plumbing rough-ins are consolidated across BATH & MUDROOM, KITCHEN & ISLAND to minimize sub-slab trenching and manifold pipe runs. Sleeping quarters (PRIMARY SUITE at 210 sq ft; BEDROOM 2 at 193 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 red-iron i-beam or heavy post-frame clear-span (14'–16' eave) bearing on 160 linear feet of 6" exterior wall framing (~184 framing studs/posts) and 139 linear feet of interior partitions. The 4:12 26-gauge galvalume / painted steel gable roof requires approximately 1,889 sq ft of roofing material (22 roofing squares), while the 6" 4000-psi fiber-mesh shop slab + 4" living slab pours at an estimated 33 cubic yards of 4,000-PSI concrete.

Building costs, foundation specs, egress & CAD customization questions

How much does it cost to build the 40x40 1,600 Sq Ft (40x40) 3 Bed 2 Bath Shop House (Shouse) Floor Plan with Shop (HG-2523)?

Based on current national residential construction data for shop house (shouse) structures, the dried-in structural shell for Plan HG-2523 (1,600 sq ft base footprint) ranges from $43,500 to $56,000 ($30/sq ft baseline). A complete turnkey build—including the 33-yard concrete foundation, 139 linear feet of interior framing, MEP rough-ins for 2 bath(s), and interior finishes across 921 sq ft of heated space plus the 680 sq ft shop bay—ranges from $143,000 to $174,000. Use the interactive Regional Cost Multiplier on this page to adjust for your local labor market and owner-builder sweat equity.

What are the exact room dimensions inside this 921 sq ft 3-bedroom layout?

Plan HG-2523 features 6 architecturally solved spaces inside its 40' × 40' footprint: 2-BAY SHOP / GARAGE (17'-0" × 40'-0", 680 sq ft), PRIMARY SUITE (12'-0" × 17'-6", 210 sq ft), BEDROOM 2 (11'-0" × 17'-6", 193 sq ft), GREAT ROOM & DINING (13'-6" × 22'-6", 304 sq ft), BATH & MUDROOM (9'-6" × 10'-0", 95 sq ft), KITCHEN & ISLAND (9'-6" × 12'-6", 119 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' × 40' 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" × 40'-0" structural grid (160 LF perimeter) with clear-span 4:12 trusses, a local structural engineer or building kit supplier can adapt the blueprint for Red-Iron I-Beam or Heavy Post-Frame Clear-Span (14'–16' Eave), conventional 2x6 stick framing at 16" o.c., laminated post-frame columns at 8' o.c., or structural insulated panels (SIPs).
