Home DIY

I've been spending a lot of time daydreaming about my new outbuilding that comes with the house we're currently buying.

to stop me getting my hopes up too much how realistic a plan is this? very rough measurements as can't get in to measure so going off the listing numbers.

plan is to divide into 4 small rooms, office (lower left), games/hobby room (upper left), workshop/3d printing space (upper right), yoga/pilates/hand weights type gym area.

currently there's a cable running to the building that carries power (overground and there's decking preventing a trench but no idea about current sockets or lighting other than it has lights up in the ceiling. ideally would like to make sure the power is robust as will be relying on it for a fair amount so thinking a secondary consumer with rings for lights/plugs/heating (electric rads)/future workshop kit. as we're putting up partition walls if we keep power to mostly those (and grandfather in any existing sockets on the external walls as well) i'm hoping it should be pretty easy to cable everything. would probably want some network cable run to ports in the rooms from a mesh router and if possible a run from the house to the router so i can backchannel the connection and not rely on wifi to link them.

making adjustments for the support pillar aside I'm not sure if the girders would have to dictate the wall placements or if we could just work around them, we'd need to seal up the rooms all the way to the roof to heat them but I'm not sure how.

we have money set aside to get the house done up a bit once we move in, but am I being over ambitious here? just trying to temper my expectations for when we get someone in to look at it and quote once we get the keys.
