Coming round to the self-build revolution
Well, it’s got to be said, we’re a handy bunch, us Brits. This year our installations team have been assisting a small group of independently minded self-builders in the UK, erecting Rotundas in their UK gardens, at a more relaxed and informal pace than usual. We’ve assisted folks with a ‘Healing Space’ Rotunda for psychotherapy in Northumberland, a ‘retreat’ in Wales called ‘Hiraeth’ (a beautiful welsh word which roughly translates to ‘a homesickness, longing, for a home you cannot return to’) and a therapy room called “Flo” in Glastonbury with adorable little gothic windows and an opening roof-light dome. Others due to be shipped out to their new sites include a classroom for a leading UK Conservation Charity in Yorkshire and a Yoga Room in Essex.
Why choose a self-build?
A self-build project is completely about you. Self-build garden rooms / extensions are a fantastic way to gain more space without the requirement for a traditional home extension and by purchasing the KIT for your own assembly, you dictate the pace of the job and can remain in full control of the final touches. The satisfaction of designing your own little building (with our team) and assisting with the build process can be hugely rewarding (it’s a minature ‘Grand Designs’ project in the bottom of your garden, after all)!
The Rotunda comes as a prefabricated modular building as pre-constructed panels which slot together similar to flat-packed furniture and are relatively straightforward to assemble. All we ask is that you provide a skilled builder or joiner to assist you with your self-build and that we can remain onsite to guide you all through the initial build process. Once the structural elements have been manoeuvred into place and signed off by our site manger, we can then leave you and your builder to start work on the second fix!
So who generally self builds?
EVERYONE! According to www.self-build.co.uk each year over 13,000 people undertake a self-build project each year from garden rooms to residential living accommodation! Whether it is a garden room, home-extension, playhouse, art studio, granny annexe or even holiday accommodation; a self-build Rotunda may just be the perfect solution for you.
Perhaps you run an ever-expanding charity or community organisation which needs another office or classroom ? A self-build Rotunda project could provide you with a fantastic opportunity to get the local community involved and include friends, relatives and sponsors whilst creating a new personalised space for therapy, office use, art rooms or commercial space. On the other hand, your eldest child who’s struggling to access the property ladder might find it beneficial to move to the end of the garden in their own new self-contained lodge (or perhaps, you would keep the kids in the house and move into the Rotunda yourself!) The possibilities are endless – you design it and you can be a part of building and constructing it.
The best part!
You design, we manufacture, and you build (with our guidance)! Our design process may involve a site survey at your address and the creation of a 3D model to enable you to verify the design specification with us. You have the option to work with our in-house interior designer to help source soft furnishings and work on the space-planning and layout elements for you.
Get more for your money!
Not only are you saving when you decide to build your own garden room/extension/lodge/office, you are also purchasing an experience! A self-build project means embarking on relationship development between you and your loved ones. It’s time to invite friends and family round to join in the fun, perhaps with a persuasive BBQ on the go!
Scared you don’t have the DIY skills?
Don’t be! Our skilled carpenters have done all the work for you in the factory before arrival to site and furthermore we send you a little helping hand for the first 2/3 days to show you the ropes! And by this time you’ll have all the main structure up ready for you to add your finishing touches!
Think this may be an option for you?
I’m sure our team could chat to you forever about the endless list of advantages a self-build garden room can bring. We are available to guide you around a constructed Rotunda and discuss your vision further. You can even visit our factory so that you can see your own Rotunda come to life! Dig a little deeper into your potential project and have a chat with us to discuss your dream on 0161 222 3350.
Good luck with your project!
