Meet the Founder

My name is Brian O’Connell, and Cedar Spaces began in 2018 when I built my own garden room. With young children at home, it quickly became a space where I could focus on work, fitness, and family life in balance. Experiencing that transformation first-hand inspired me to help others do the same. Today, I combine my background in engineering and financial planning with a passion for design to create bespoke garden rooms that bring everyday life more space, comfort, and style.

We are really pleased with our garden room. Mix of gym and snug room. Brian worked with us to maximise the use of the plot and was also flexible with design as we worked through cabling and door choices later in the process. Good quality workmanship a done to time 👍🏼

Brian and his team recently completed the build of a black timber-clad garden room for us, and we are so pleased with the final result! The garden room looks beautiful and is finished to a really excellent standard. We use it as both a home office and snug/ TV room. We chose Cedar Spaces as we wanted a bespoke crafted room, tailored to our needs, versus an off the shelf design. It was absolutely the right decision for us! Brian was so helpful and supportive throughout- going through various different design options, and guiding and directing our decisions patiently. We opted for an extra window, and at the last minute, chose black timber- cladding- which looks really smart and blends into the space really well. The build was efficient and completed within a couple of weeks and Brian has been available since to help with any follow-up queries. It’s been a pleasure throughout- I highly recommend Brian and his team!

Super happy with Brian and the team’s work. Garden office and shed is a massive success, exactly as designed. Great comms all through the process while being super helpful and accommodating of our (numerous) requests. Very happy to recommend.

In a nutshell, Brian and his team did an amazing job on our garden room which we love and use all the time. The quality of build is excellent and 2-3 years on, we’ve had no issues at all. They were a pleasure to have around, were very accommodating, professional and had a work clean and safe ethic I recall. I have highly recommended them since and will continue to do so. Many thanks again Brian and team.

Brian and his team built our garden room with sauna 2 years ago, and it still looks brand new, inside and out. A really well built structure that we’ve really enjoyed using all year round. We would highly recommend Cedar Spaces

We are really pleased with our new home office built by Brian and his team and would fully recommend Brian’s services. After our planning permission was granted Brian was able to start within a couple of weeks. We discussed our project in detail. What we liked is, that Brian and his team build to measure maximising the usage of the garden space (unlike other builders who use prefabricated SIPs). His team consist of fully trained professionals, who are in the building undustry for years). Hence the quality of the structure and finish will be to the highest standards. The progress was really quick and every day his team was onsite to ensure there is work being done. Also if Brian says that the electricians will be there on a specific date to do the wiring, they will turn up on that date. We recommend to install underfloor heating for the winter months in addition to the aircon, it warms up quickly and ensures the floor is nice and warm. Finally, we were very pleased with the communication. Brian is very quick to reply to the client’s queries and if any adjustments need to be made during the project, Brian will make sure that they will get done. Again, we fully recommend cedar spaces and the project was delivered on time and on budget! Thanks again to Brian and his team!

Frequently Asked Questions

After an initial phone call to understand your requirements we will visit your property for an initial site survey. At this time we will also confirm your requirements and any specific design details. We will then proceed to create a CAD design of your building for approval. Once contracts are signed a 30% deposit is then required to secure your project and allow us to begin ordering materials.
We aim to have your garden room completed and ready for you to enjoy within 15 days. Rooms with services that require connections to mains plumbing etc. may take longer. Smaller rooms can be completed within 7 days.
Under new regulations that came into effect 1st October 2008 Garden Room’s (outbuildings) are considered to be permitted development, not requiring planning permission, subject to a few limits and conditions. For more detailed information see – http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/outbuildings. It is the ultimate responsibility of the home/land owner to ensure their Cedar Room meets Planning & Building Regulations, although we are on hand to give advice and support.

Each project we build is unique and it is therefore difficult to present a set menu cost for your build. As an indicative figure our garden room prices start from £1,250 per square meter.

Please note that our buildings are high specification garden rooms and are built with the quality and construction methods of a new home, therefore the price of a Cedar Space should be compared with the price and inconvenience of an extension rather than the price of a shed. Our buildings are affordable investments to your home which will not only add extra valuable space but will also add value to the price of your home if you sell in the future.

Our buildings are built on poured concrete foundations or ground screws. Options will be discussed with you during our initial site visit.
A typical build will have two members of the Cedar Space team onsite. We are a professional, courteous team that are dedicated to delivering exceptional levels of customer service.
