A summer house is much more than a simple roof in the garden. A well designed and well made summer house can become a favourite place for family gatherings, summer lunches, relaxing and time with friends, while making the space more useful and adding to its value.
One of the first questions clients ask is: how much does a summer house cost in Montenegro?
There is no single price that fits every summer house. The final price depends on the dimensions, the structure, the type of timber, the roof, the base, the finish and the extras you want.
That is exactly why at Relax Home every summer house is designed around its location, its purpose and the client's needs.
What does the price of a summer house depend on?
Two summer houses of the same size do not necessarily cost the same. The difference lies in the materials, the structure and the level of finish.
The main factors that affect the price are:
- dimensions and total area,
- type and quality of timber,
- thickness and construction of the structure,
- type of roof and roof covering,
- floor and preparation of the base,
- protection and finishing of the wood,
- open or enclosed sides,
- windows, doors and glazing,
- lighting and electrical installations,
- a barbecue, summer kitchen or other extras,
- location and conditions for assembly.
That is why an accurate price can only be given once we know exactly what you want to build.
How much does a wooden summer house cost in Montenegro?
The price of a wooden summer house depends above all on whether you want a simple open seating area or a fully equipped building that can serve as a summer kitchen, a place to get together or an extra amenity for a tourist business.
For example, a simple small summer house with a basic timber structure and roof is a completely different project from a larger building with a floor, enclosed sides, windows, lighting and extra equipment.
That is why it is not a good idea to look at the price only as a cost per square metre.
With quality timber construction, what matters is what you get for the money you invest.
At Relax Home we use natural, dried and carefully selected materials, and we adapt every project to the specific location and purpose. Our goal is not to build the cheapest summer house, but a building that will last for years with proper maintenance.
What size of summer house should you choose?
The dimensions should follow the space you have and the way you will use the summer house.
For a smaller garden, a compact design with room for a table and a few chairs may be enough.
If you want more space for family and guests, larger dimensions and extra features can be planned.
Even larger buildings can be particularly interesting for:
- holiday homes,
- mountain houses,
- restaurants,
- tourist complexes,
- apartments and houses for rent,
- swimming pools and larger private estates.
It is important that the summer house is in proportion to the space. A building that is too large can take up the garden unnecessarily, while one that is too small will not give you enough room for what you are building it for.
That is why, before it is made, you should consider the location, access to the building, the position of the sun, the view, the wind and how the space will be used.
Open, covered or combined summer house?
Not every summer house has to look the same.
Depending on your needs, it can be a fully open structure, a covered space or a combined design with partly enclosed sides.
Open summer house
The open model is ideal for anyone who wants a simple space for relaxing and socialising outdoors.
The timber structure and roof give protection from the sun and create a pleasant place to spend time during the warmer months.
Covered summer house
A covered space lets you use the garden even when the sun gets strong or light rain starts to fall.
With the right layout it can be combined with a large table, a seating set or a summer kitchen.
Combined summer house
Combined models give you the most freedom.
Part of the building can stay open, while another part can be protected with timber walls, glass or other elements.
This kind of design is especially practical when you want to use the summer house for a longer part of the year.
Which timber is used to make a summer house?
Timber is the basic element of every quality wooden building.
However, choosing the type of timber is not enough. The drying method, grading, processing and proper protection also matter.
At Relax Home we mainly use spruce, fir, pine and oak, depending on the purpose and the requirements of the project. The timber is chosen for the specific building, and the details of the materials are set out in the quote.
Quality treatment is especially important for buildings exposed to sun, rain, moisture and changes in temperature all year round.
Is a made-to-measure summer house worth it?
If you are already investing in a wooden building, having it made to measure means every part of it can be adapted to your space.
Instead of adapting the garden to a ready-made model, the building is designed to suit:
- the dimensions of the plot,
- the position of the house,
- the terrain,
- the number of users,
- the way it will be used,
- the style you want,
- the budget.
Relax Home makes summer houses to measure for gardens, holiday homes and tourist complexes.
How long does it take to make and assemble a summer house?
The time needed to make it depends on the size and complexity of the project.
A simple open summer house is not the same project as a large building with enclosed sides, a floor, windows and doors, installations and extra equipment.
Much of the preparation can be done in advance, while the assembly and finishing work are carried out on site.
Before the project starts, the scope of work, the materials, the deadlines and the way the work will be done are agreed, so the client knows in advance what to expect.
A summer house as extra space for a tourist property
In Montenegro, summer houses are not only of interest to owners of private houses and holiday homes.
More and more tourist properties need extra space for their guests.
A wooden summer house can be a great addition to:
- apartments,
- holiday houses,
- mountain properties,
- restaurants,
- rural ethno guesthouses,
- tourist complexes.
A well designed space can give guests something extra, and give the owner a new way to organise the property.
What should you ask a contractor before ordering a summer house?
Before you decide, do not look only at the starting price.
It is important to ask:
- Which timber is used?
- What are the dimensions of the structure?
- Is the timber dried and properly processed?
- What is included in the price?
- Are transport and assembly included?
- Which roof system is used?
- How is the timber protected from the weather?
- How long will it take to make?
- Do you get a warranty on the work?
When you compare quotes this way, the difference in price often becomes much clearer.
How much does a summer house cost? The best answer is: it depends on your project
If you search online for one specific price for a summer house, you will probably come across a wide range of offers.
That is entirely to be expected.
A summer house of a few square metres with a simple structure and a basic roof is not the same as a large timber building with a floor, enclosed sides, windows and doors, lighting and a summer kitchen.
That is why the best way to get a realistic price is to define:
- where the summer house will be built,
- which dimensions you want,
- how many people it is for,
- whether it should be open or enclosed,
- what kind of roof you want,
- whether you want a floor and extra equipment,
- how much you want to invest.
Based on that information, a much more accurate quote can be prepared.
