Why a Garden Room over a home extension?
Garden rooms offer a distinct advantage in terms of minimal disruption compared to traditional extensions or loft conversions. Here’s how garden rooms cause less disruption:
- Reduced Building Work: Constructing an extension typically involves significant building work, such as foundation excavation, structural modifications, and integration with existing utilities. This extensive construction process can disrupt your daily life, create noise, and cause inconvenience for an extended period. In contrast, garden rooms require minimal ground work. Specially designed concrete pads and heavy-duty feet provide a stable foundation, eliminating the need for extensive excavation or disruptive construction processes.
- Location Flexibility: Garden rooms can be installed in various locations within your garden, depending on your preferences and the layout of your property. Thanks to their standalone design, they can be placed almost anywhere with proper accessibility. This flexibility allows you to choose an ideal spot that doesn’t interfere with the existing structure of your home. By opting for a garden room, you can create a separate workspace without compromising the integrity of your main house or undergoing major structural modifications.
- Efficient Installation: Garden rooms are designed for efficiency and rapid installation. Unlike extensions or loft conversions, which can take weeks or even months to complete, garden rooms can often be built in a matter of days. The prefabricated components are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site, minimising disruption to your routine and reducing the overall construction timeline. This efficient installation process means you can start using your garden office sooner, without enduring prolonged construction activities.
- Minimal Disturbance to Main Home: The construction of a garden room takes place primarily outside of your main home, keeping disruption to a minimum. Unlike extensions or loft conversions, which may require access through your home and involve significant structural changes, garden rooms maintain a clear separation between the construction site and your living spaces. This ensures that you can continue with your daily activities without the inconvenience of navigating through construction zones or enduring disruptions caused by building work.
Garden rooms are cheaper than extensions
When comparing the cost of garden rooms to extensions or loft conversions, it becomes evident that garden rooms offer a cost-effective solution. While customisation options such as adding an ensuite or kitchenette may increase the overall expense, garden rooms remain significantly cheaper than house extensions. The streamlined construction process, reduced material requirements, and shorter construction timelines all contribute to the cost savings.
Garden rooms often have simpler foundations and utility connections, further reducing expenses compared to the extensive groundwork and infrastructure needed for traditional extensions. By choosing a garden room, you can achieve your desired additional space at a fraction of the cost, making it a budget-friendly alternative to more extensive home renovations.
