That is a great idea. If I build my maximum sq ft of 1000 I can have sectioned off area. A floor drain is a great idea. I could wash off tools or was the truck or rv inside.
Remember, garages are sloped for the water that runs off a wet vehicle. Not the volume of water that is used to was a car. Most garages have a about a 3" drop/curb to the part of the garage that slopes to the door. In other words, if you enter the garage from the house, you will have a level area at least 3' from the wall opposite the garage door. Then the 3" step-down. At this point the floor sloops to the garage door. The slope is not that steep, because of the small amount of water that will drip of the vehicle. Installing a drain will add to the cost! The cost will be decided by where you drain to (not to mention government (EPA) regs about where it drains to) the lay of the land and what size type drain! The cost effective approach is to use the standard garage step down and slope.
Will you have a paint booth?
