Best way to get a garden room?

I really want a garden room/log cabin. We've got a maximum of 3m wide by 7m long. Start to finish we have a budget of about £15-20k. I want it as an artist studio all year round so i need it completely weatherproof. I'm wondering what the best way to go about it is - a wooden log cabin with insulation or getting someone to build a brick structure? I can't have anything that needs foundations so was looking at a concrete base. And how realistic is my budget? I don't really have time to do any of the work myself so ideally i want someone to do it all for me. The log cabin im looking at is about £6.5k.

I think your budget is feasible. I had one built, by well skilled landscaper, last year for about £8k. Fully insulated and being used by DH to work from.

It's not a log cabin, but we have a garden room from Green Retreatsv with a concrete base. Fully insulated with electrics. Cost about £14k.

I ordered one two weeks ago from gardenhouse24.com

Cannot give a complete review since it's not been done yet but they are very competitively priced. I went for just a 3x3 metre one. Double skin. Fully insulated with concrete base and installation for £9200.

Just need the electrics doing separately but could complete it for circa 10k hopefully.

I am not saying they are better than green retreats or booths etc but seem competitive on budget.
