We are having to eat our words with this post, we have been known to say that suppliers who offer standard designs don’t have a great deal of flexibility when it comes to customising their designs, and that if you want a garden room tailored to your individual needs you need to go down the bespoke design route, but we were wrong!

Phoenix Timber Buildings
In an industry full of contemporary design it’s refreshing to see a company that specialise in traditional style garden buildings, full of character and design features. Phoenix Timber Buildings are specialists in bespoke design meaning that every building they create is unique and tailored to the customer’s specific needs and tastes.
As well as being able to create tailor-made garden rooms, offices and studios they are also able to design and build traditional garages, premium summerhouses, workshops and sheds.
As each building is made to order it can be finished exactly how you want, Phoenix can offer a completely finished ‘turn key’ option where your garden office is ready to move into and start work straight away or they can supply a ‘shell’ with a long list of options that you can pick and mix such as cladding, insulation, internal finishes and electrical systems this offers the customer flexibility on finish but also control over cost.
Phoenix Timber Buildings are competitively priced and garden office and traditional garages start at £2,040 for a 10ft x 8ft (£30 per sq ft) for the basic shell. Prices are inclusive of delivery and assembly on site.

Blue Forest stands out from other garden room manufacturers because they build tree houses. Tree houses are no longer only the domain of children – far from it, Blue Forest create magical, inspirational spaces for adults.
Don’t think because you don’t have a suitable tree you can’t have a Blue Forest building as they can deliver a whole range of unique structures.
Blue Forest specialise in bespoke design, creating a building specifically tailored to your needs and tastes. Blue Forest are happy to work on a ‘Design Only’ or a ‘Design and Build’ basis, a small fee is taken up front – typically 4% of the construction cost, this covers a comprehensive site survey and a unique bound design portfolio which includes specifications, itemised quotation, construction schedule, scale plans and 3D rendered images of the proposed designs.
For the level of individual service they offer Blue Forest’s buildings are reasonably priced, as a rule of thumb prices range between £170 -£250 per square foot of floor space, if you have a fixed budget Blue Forest can work within these parameters.
Blue Forest has a strong emphasis on sustainability – the materials chosen and the techniques of craftsmen create a building which with a little maintenance will last in excess of 60 years.

Because of the uniqueness of each building it’s difficult to list all the materials used but Blue Forest buildings are clearly well specified and comply with Building Regulations. Planning permission will normally be required but the Blue Forest team is well equipped to offer advice and guidance.
