30x40 Shop vs. 4 Car Garage

I'm in the process of building a new house and was wondering what would be more cost effective. A 30x40 shop or just building the house with a 4 car garage.
The shop would have to have a brick veneer on the front but other than that there aren't many restrictions. Just trying to have a space for my boat, tools, mower, etc. And not break the bank.

You likely pay less per sf for the shop than attached garage.
But also :whynotboth?:

Forgot to mention i will be building a 2 car garage regardless.

Build the shop, it will be cheaper. Design it with at least 12’ walls and the ability to add a lean-to off the side or rear in the future

Three car garage for your car, your wife's car, and your boat. Then also build the 30x 40 shop.

Adding 2 more car garage is only adding about 500 sf. A 30x40 shop is 1200 sf.
Not really comparing apples to apples, IMO.

You will not have control over the garage. The shop will be yours. DONE.
