Transparent pricing information to help you plan your garden office investment. Understand costs and get detailed quotes
Get Your Detailed Price QuoteGarden office prices vary significantly based on size, specification, and features. This guide helps you understand typical costs across Devon and what influences pricing, enabling you to make informed decisions and budget appropriately for your project.
Garden office pricing depends on multiple factors, making it impossible to provide accurate costs without understanding your specific requirements. However, typical Devon prices range from £8,000 for basic small offices to £35,000+ for large, fully-specified buildings. Most homeowners invest £12,000-£20,000 for a well-insulated, fully-equipped office of 3m x 3m to 4m x 3m that provides comfortable year-round workspace.
The most significant cost factor is size—larger buildings require more materials and labor. However, specification matters equally. A basic uninsulated summer house costs far less than a fully-insulated, electrically-heated office with quality finishes. Our vetted contractors provide detailed, itemized quotes that clearly show what you're paying for, helping you understand where your investment goes and make informed decisions about specifications that match your budget and requirements.
Remember that garden offices add significant value to your property while eliminating commuting costs and providing tax benefits if used for business. Many homeowners find that their office pays for itself within 3-5 years through saved commuting expenses, increased productivity, and enhanced work-life balance. Our contractors help you maximize value by recommending specifications that balance initial investment with long-term benefits and running costs.

Difficult access or sloping sites may require additional groundwork. Contractors should assess your site before quoting to identify any challenges that affect costs.
Running power from your house to a distant garden office costs more than connecting to a nearby building. Measure the distance and discuss with contractors upfront.
Most garden offices don't need planning permission, but if yours does, budget £200-£500 for application fees plus any required drawings or surveys.
Upgrading materials or adding features mid-project increases costs. Finalize specifications before work begins to avoid expensive changes.
Proper insulation costs £1,000-£2,000 more but makes your office usable year-round and reduces heating costs by 60-70%. It pays for itself within 2-3 years.
Double-glazed windows cost more initially but prevent heat loss, reduce condensation, and create a more comfortable workspace that feels like a proper office.
Building slightly larger now costs less than extending later. Consider future requirements—will you need meeting space or room for equipment?
Quality materials cost 10-20% more but last significantly longer and require less maintenance, reducing lifetime costs substantially.
