The shop and the home, built by the same contractor, because they're the same building.
A shop-home is a single, purpose-built structure, designed, permitted, and finished as one project by one contractor.

You get clear-span shop space for the boat, the RV, the shop equipment, and finished living quarters designed as part of the same structure. We design the whole thing together from day one: where the shop bay ends and the living space begins, how utilities run between them, and how the finish level transitions from functional shop to the place you actually live.
One project, one design, one contract
Design & engineering
For the combined shop and living structure as a single building, not two designs bolted together.
Mixed-use permitting
Carried through your county's building department as part of the project.
Site work, concrete & frame
Excavation, engineered foundation, and steel or timber frame erection.
Full interior finish on the living side
To the same standard as our stand-alone custom homes. Real cabinetry, real trim, real flooring.
Functional finish on the shop side
Power, lighting, drainage, and door systems sized to what you actually store.
Shops without living quarters too
Plenty of these builds are purely a custom shop, sized around your equipment rather than a generic bay count.
A shop you're proud to walk a guest through
We finish the inside: insulation, electrical sized for your tools and lifts, real garage door systems, drainage that works in a Montana spring, and clearances planned around what you actually park in there.
See our processSized to your equipment
Bring us the boat length and the trailer height, not a square-footage guess.
Built for the climate
Insulation and drainage specified for the winters this region actually has.
One contract
Site work through finish, under one accountable contractor.
Straight Answers
Yes. A shop-home, or shouse, is one of our most common builds, with the living quarters finished to the same standard as our stand-alone custom homes.
It's a mixed-use build, which is a permitting step many pole-building companies aren't set up to carry. We carry it through your county's building department as part of the project.
Often yes, and it's worth designing that way from the start so the utilities, foundation, and framing are already sized for the second phase rather than retrofitted.
Sized around what you're actually storing and how you use the space, from a single oversized bay to a multi-bay shop with a full shouse attached.
One building. One purpose. One contractor.
Tell us what you're storing and whether you want to live in part of it.
