What do you need to consider when building an outdoor office shed?

Foundation

You will need to pour a concrete slab or build a wooden platform for your office. The size of the foundation will depend on the size of your shed and how many people will be using it.

Electrical supply

You must connect your office to the power grid. This can be done by running an underground cable from your house or installing a solar panel.

Solar orientation

You need to orient your office to receive enough natural light. This can be done by facing the office towards the sun or installing skylights.

Ventilation

You will need to install ventilation in your office to prevent the build-up of heat and humidity. This can be done by installing a fan or by opening windows.

Insulation

You will need to insulate your office to keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This can be done by installing insulation in the walls and ceiling.

Our turnkey price includes framing, doors, windows, deck, interior finishes, outlets and lights. As soon as we finish, you can move into your new home office and start working. Just bring your table, chair and computer.
