Is It Cheaper To Build Or Buy A Garden Office?

When deciding whether to build or buy a garden office, cost is a significant factor to consider. In most cases, building your own garden office is the more affordable option. This is because when you choose to build, you can bypass several additional costs that come with purchasing a pre-built garden office, such as delivery and installation. If you’re handy with DIY projects, building a garden office can be a rewarding and budget-friendly way to create the perfect workspace.

Self Build Garden Offices

We offer a self-build option for our cost-effective garden room, Basebox, making it an even cheaper garden room option.

Our self-assembled garden rooms begin at £9,995 and offer all the essentials for building your own garden room. The self-build pack includes an easy-to-follow instructional manual, a specialised toolbox, all necessary screws, packers, and components, pre-assembled building sections, and a uPVC French door complete with a window.

Is A Garden Room Cheaper Than A Conservatory?

A garden room is generally a more cost-effective choice compared to a conservatory. On average, a garden room costs about £1,180 per square meter, while the cost of a conservatory is typically around £2,000 per square meter. This price difference makes garden rooms a much more affordable option for homeowners looking to expand their living space. If you’re specifically looking for cheap garden rooms, you’ll find they provide excellent value for money.

Additionally, a garden room’s modular design helps keep costs low, as the prefabricated buildings mean the garden room can be fully installed between 2-5 days. This is significantly quicker when compared to conservatories, which involve more complex structures, including brickwork, a pitched roof, and larger glazing areas, driving up both the cost of materials and installation.

Overall, if you’re on a budget but still want to create additional space in your home, a garden room is likely the more economical choice compared to a conservatory, offering savings in both construction costs and ongoing maintenance. Whether you’re looking for affordable garden rooms or cheap garden rooms, the investment is sure to provide long-term benefits.
