Installation Timeline

Choosing the size, shape and finish of your garden building is a big decision and here at Gardenplex, someone is always available to help you with those decisions.
Once these decisions have been made, we are then able to plan together regarding the install.
A typical timeline for a 3m x 3m build would be as follows and we would expect the time frame to be approximately 8 weeks, but this would be dependant on any necessary works as outlined in 1 and 2 and weather conditions.

Prior to Install

  1. You will discuss with us your ideas such as what type of cladding, internal finish, heating, lighting, flooring etc. An agreement on any work prior to garden room build such as ground preparation, mains connection, water connections etc is also made.
  2. We will also agree on a scheduled start date for the installation.
  3. Any additional groundworks are undertaken e.g. ground preparation, mains connection, water connections. These are services that we can provide, or you may want to arrange these yourself.
  4. You won’t see much happening, but lots will be going on behind the scenes as we begin to order and receive materials.
  5. Again, although behind the scenes, we will be busy in the workshop!
