526 Service Garage Shed

Service garage sheds are buildings designed primarily for vehicular repair and maintenance. These buildings are characterized by their low cost open fronts (no doors), unfinished interiors, concrete or asphalt floors, and adequate lighting and outlets. These buildings are typically found in car dealerships and large fleet operations.

Some shop cabinets and workspace is included in the better qualities. Service equipment and hoists are not included in the costs.

For this occupancy, which may have one or more open sides, you should always enter the actual walled perimeter. If the shape option is used, the program calculates perimeter based on a three-sided structure.
