Garden Music Room, Wiltshire. Ms E contacted Garden Retreat June 2015. They were looking for a large multi purpose Bespoke Garden Room for a number of varied uses, a play area for the children, a music room, both playing and teaching and just somewhere for the whole family to relax. With an integral toilet and utility room / kitchen, this Garden Building has many uses and could be used as an overnight guest studio for friends and extended family.
Due to the size and the height of the building, Garden Retreat assisted the Customer with Planning Support, providing elevation drawings required as part of the planning application. In addition to this due to the location of the building the local planning authority required a ‘Flood Report’ as part of the application.

The initial site had a large concreted area which was uneven and cracked, the first job was to break up the existing concrete and remove from site. Garden Retreat were also contracted to run all the services to the Garden Room which included drainage to the toilet via a trench, a water feed, power and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Before Photos
Before Photos of Existing Broken Concrete Base
The Concrete Base required for this particular building is to our standard specification which is 150mm of compacted hard core, a damp proof course and 100mm of concrete. Due to the size of the building the base will require a single course of semi engineering bricks to the external size of the building and under any internal partitions. When the building is installed the sections will be bolted through the bottom of the wall section, through the hole in the the brick and anchored into the concrete base. The concrete base is actually 50mm bigger around the outside of the brick course which ensures strength around the bolt when it is pre-drilled and tightened up.

The base is complete and as you can see there is a single course of semi-engineering bricks to support the building on the outer edges and under the partitions which will form the utility room and toilet.
