Building a backyard studio? Why Using a DIY shell plus kit is better?

 The addition of a backyard studio can increase curb appeal, the value of your overall property and allow you to operate a studio from home. There’s no headache of having to cough up a huge rent every month because you will be owning the studio. But, the real question is – should you build a studio from scratch or use a tiny house shell plus kit? Keep reading to know which one is a better option.

There are two major factors of considerations when it comes to deciding whether to build from scratch or use a DIY tiny house shell plus kit, which are cost and time. 

• Cost

Cost is a primary concern for everyone. When it is about building from scratch, the process would involve contacting a building contractor and fetching materials at the best price. But, the building of your studio might not go as planned. You may face unexpected expenses cropping up as you progress. To begin with, getting different materials for your studio is going to cost you a lot. The contractor will merely give you an estimated price and inevitably, the estimate usually goes up. 

On the other hand, tiny house shell plus kits come with a fixed price. For instance, BOSS Tiny House provides its 8.5’X20’ and 8.5’X26’ shell plus kits for $9999 and $12995 respectively. The prices are fixed and at this price, you are getting exterior walls of galvanized steel with ASTM certifications, a robust roof, soft-textured interior walls covered with vinyl, double-pane windows and doors. The kits also include insulation, plumbing and electrical. You can even personalize the shell plus kit as per your specific preferences. From the design to the color and finish, the kits are customizable. You can install a tiny house shell kit on dirt or concrete slab. If you have an old trailer lying around, you can even mount your tiny house studio on the trailer and have a studio on wheels without any additional cost. 

So, not only do you have an idea of the cost when using shell plus kits, but the chances of additional expenses are quite low. Since the kits are specifically made for DIYers, you don’t have to hire laborers, electricians or plumbers. The kits come with an installation manual detailing the assembly process.

• Time

Time is another major factor of consideration when you are building a studio in your garden. If you are building it from scratch, it might take anywhere between a few weeks to a few months. In the case of expected circumstances, there might be delays in the completion of the building process. 

DIY tiny house kits, on the other hand, take a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 5 days to build. You can assemble the kits yourself, along with a friend. Within a week, your studio will be ready and you can start using it.
