Have a look below at the detailed list of steps of how the execution of your outbuilding project will go:

2. The team of designers will be happy to work with any visuals you send. They will take into consideration the specifics of your property, the desired location of the outbuilding and its primary purpose (a potential change of purpose in the future can also be considered).
3. The architect will then send you a 3D visualisation of your garden outbuilding project, regardless of whether it is permitted development or it needs planning permission and approval by your local authorities, first.
4. With regards to the above, rest assured that the team of design experts will do everything that is required for you to get your planning permission documents filed in a timely manner.
5. Last but not least, you can be assisted expertly with the building of your wooden garage, garden office, garden steam room or any other type of insulated outbuilding.

There are numerous ways of maximising your garden potential, while at the same time improving your living space and increasing the value of your property. For instance, by constructing a bespoke outbuilding that has one or more purposes, you’ll surely enhance and expand your options with regards to incorporating your outdoors.

Fantastic Services can liaise with renowned designers and architects in London, in order to turn your garden outbuilding idea into reality. From planning and building a practical and uniquely-designed garden shed or wooden garage to designing a multi-functional cosy garden office room, we’ve got you covered.

Garden shed, greenhouse or plant room

A prefab, modular garden shed that you can easily buy has its uses, of course, but let's admit it - they are more or less limited to storing your tools and clutter, due to lack of proper insulation and sufficient space for other activities. On the other hand, custom-built garden sheds, made of quality materials, can be easily designed to serve as playrooms, workshops or just turned into a unique and cosy space to practice your creative hobby.

Or are you an avid plant lover in need of more room for your large selection of indoor house plants? Then, we can help you build a bespoke greenhouse or plant room if you don’t have the means and space for a conservatory, which should be an extension of your house.

Insulated garden office

With the increased popularity of folks working from home, there’s nothing more convenient than building a customised outbuilding on your property that you can use as a comfortable and quiet workspace. You’ll get the best of both worlds with a small garden office that is fully insulated and designed to suit your needs. On one hand, you’ll be working from the comfort of your home and missing all the traffic, and costly and time-consuming commuting, and on the other, you won’t be taking up valuable indoor space to create a workstation as you’ll be doing your job outside of the house.

Outdoor steam room or sauna

Improve your quality of life by installing your own bespoke outdoor steam room or garden sauna. Bring that Spa vibe right where you live and invest in a uniquely designed sauna shed, where you can relax, relieve stress, detoxify your body and even invite friends for a fun cleansing experience. Just send us your visuals and ideas, and we’ll come up with a customised design of a garden sauna cabin that is practical, meets your budget, and yet looks aesthetically pleasing by fitting with its surroundings perfectly.

When it comes to building a garden garage, legally, outdoor garden gym, small insulated office, sauna cabin or any other outbuilding on your property, there are two options. Depending on the size, height, purpose and some other factors, your project may need planning permission. The accredited and experienced architects we count on can do everything, regarding the approval of your planning permission application.

In other instances, your outbuilding construction may fall under the permitted development rights, which makes the whole project much easier to design and build.

We’ll only mention a few aspects here to keep in mind, which will give you a clearer picture of whether your outbuilding may require planning permission. You may not need the council’s approval, provided your outbuilding:

• Is not higher than 2,5 m if it’s located within 2 m of the curtilage boundary of the property;
• Is not intended to be on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation;
• Is just one storey, without a balcony/veranda or raised platform, and is no higher than 4 overall;
• Does not cover more than half the land around the house;
• The property does not fall under any special regulations (ex: listed building, world heritage or natural beauty site, etc.).

Well, in any way, rest assured that with us, you’ll receive expert advice on all planning permission matters, regarding your outbuilding project.
