A client asked me to build them a bespoke garden room with aluminium bifold doors. They wanted to fill a specific space around 6m by 4.5m on the left hand side of their garden where an old garage used to be.
They were absolutely thrilled with the result, particularly that we started work immediately without the need for any planning permission and we use all of the materials you would find in a normal extension (bricks aside!) without any of the mess or inconvenience of one!
This went so well we have since been asked to build 3 more and have set up a separate business-

Hi, great video. I'm about to start my own project and had a thought about a floor design which i cant find an example of on the internet with regards to timber sheds. I'm going to use a level concrete slab as my main foundation/base. Originally for my floor, i was then going to frame out floor joists and insulate inbetween and board ontop, however i have had a thought of whether i need floor joists at all! Could i use a 50mm x 100mm pressure treated soul plate fixed to the concrete along the perimeter of the shed. Lay DPM over the site (so ontop of soul plate and folded down ontop of know internal concrete slab). Then have a floating floor of 50mm rigid floor insulation butted together and taped, with t&g floor boards floating ontop. Is there a problem with this design? could i get away with it? Any advice from anyone would be much appreciated.

I am looking into converting a double garage into a bungalow and intend to add extensions to the front and to the side of the garages, both similar size to the wooden structure in this video. Would these wooden structures be appropriate or would I have to get a builder to make a typical extension out bricks? The price of a brick extension is putting me off so I'm looking at alternative ways to add extensions onto the garages in order to turn it into a small house. I've also looked at shipping containers as a possible solution but I'm not sure they'd slot against the garage neatly enough to look like one structure.

@naj114 3 жыл бұрын

I wanted a a building like this on my garden and like you considered shipping containers, brick build, prefab etc. After getting quotes, I settled on the same timber construction as this. I built something slightly bigger and as half of it was DIY got it complete for under £17k. As for your garage conversion, nothing wrong with timber, remember it's used all the time for loft conversions. The main considerations is if the foundation is suitable and ensuring the walls and ceilings have the proper insulation - my walls are constructed from 9 layers - see the video in my channel
