A lawn with a tired shed in the corner, limited side access.
02
Designed around the boundary, the sun path and the view back to the house.
03
Ground screws / concrete pad to suit ground conditions.
04
Engineered timber frame, roof structure and membranes.
05
Walls, floor and roof fully insulated; vapour control installed.
06
First fix: dedicated supply, consumer unit, lighting and data circuits.
07
Plastered, painted, floored and lit. Desk and storage built in.
08
Cedar cladding, aluminium bi-folds and feature lighting.
09
Handed over, ready to work in.
“Essex Home were the only company who talked about the build-up of the walls before they talked about the price. One team did everything: groundworks, electrics, air conditioning, decorating, and the office is in use every single day.”
