Converting shed into outdoor office - cost...

[Jamil]

Hi, 

 

We wanted to convert our shed in to an office instead (see attached jpg for look and feel and dimensions). We live in london and the estimate we got for

 

- look and feel as shown in picture

- is insulated

- bi-fold /patio doors

- spotlight lighting

- has electricity

 

Quote was £16K

 

Is that expensive?

Should that be metres rather than feet? I can't see a 'shed conversion' being worthwhile unless you've got a pretty substantial shed.  I don't know what a new garden office costs, but £16k doesn't surprise me.

Not going to be a lot of space in there after you insulate the floor and ceiling and put final coverings on……..

16k feels expensive to me, but it all depends what you're after. I expect there is a lot of opportunism at the moment as prices are high and everyone wants one. Could save you £8k to wait a year.

Their prices have probably rocketed too though

As and example, I've got a photo from a new build show a few years ago where a cabin was reduced from £4395 to a show special of £3695 including build. It's currently £6795 :
