1: How Long Does It Take To Complete A Contemporary Summer House Project?
It will depend on several factors, such as the size and complexity of the design. Naturally, a bespoke design will take more time to prepare than a prefab model. However, our experts can complete the work off-site to design and develop your dream garden building. Either way, preparing a flat foundation and assembling the structure will take 2-5 days for an experienced team of professionals. In turn, you will be left with the perfect garden building.
2: Should I View A Contemporary Summer Building Before Buying?
When considering a contemporary summerhouse, it is advisable to view the product beforehand, as it allows for a first hand evaluation of its condition and suitability. Viewing the item can provide valuable insights into its quality, features, and overall appearance, which may not be fully evident through online descriptions or images. This can help in making an informed decision and potentially prevent any future dissatisfaction with the purchase. Therefore, viewing the product before buying is a prudent step to take to ensure a satisfactory outcome. Our showrooms are open seven days a week, and we have over 60 buildings on display.
3: Do You Need Planning Permission For A Modern Summer House?
In the UK, planning permission for a summer house shed typically isn't required if it meets specific criteria. The shed must be single-storey, with a maximum height of 2.5 metres if situated within 2 meters of a boundary, and should not exceed 15 square metres in floor area. Additionally, it must not be used for residential purposes or contain sleeping accommodations. However, if the building is to be placed in a conservation area or is deemed to affect the neighbourhood's character, you may need to seek planning permission. Always check local regulations, as they can vary by council.
