Smart Modular Buildings
What customers say
Smart Garden Offices, based in Fornham St Martin near Bury Saint Edmunds, receives consistent praise for its modular construction method, which several accounts say makes the site installation process fast and largely stress free. Completed builds are sometimes described as going up in under two days, covering everything from ground clearance to the electrical connection, with installers said to arrive on schedule, work tidily and clear away debris afterwards, including a case where equipment had to be carried through the customer's house due to limited access. The design and planning meeting is highlighted as a useful stage, allowing the layout to be adjusted before construction gets underway. Staff members Ross and Lucy are mentioned by name for their support during projects, and the wider team is described as courteous and helpful rather than pushy in its approach to sales. Aftercare is flagged positively too, with one customer reporting that a step repair carried out years after the original purchase was handled quickly and at no cost. A point that comes up more than once is that minor snagging can occur during the build, though this was generally resolved without much delay. The showroom and office operate Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, with no weekend availability, serving both compact garden rooms and larger, fully customised spaces.

Love our new garden room. Perfect service from start to finish. Started with an on site visit and some quotes. We then visited the showroom which was an 8 hour round trip, but well worth it to give us the confidence to order. Kept well informed throughout - we had decided to upgrade from our original quote, but it was spotted before the build that we wouldn't have the space with the slightly increased thickness. The Key Studio is perfect and looks just great. Installation was quick and easy - tradesmen were really friendly, polite and professional. No hesitation in recommending.
Excellent product, excellent project management and installation. Design process very simple - I chose a product, and was able to make most of the design decisions on line, then SMART were on hand to help finish off the options against transparent, itemised pricing. Most of what I wanted was included as standard - colours, flooring, windows etc were chosen against samples. Installation took 1 day for the base, 3 days for the build and 1 day for the electrics - all planned and managed very smoothly by the product team. Great product which is now my office base!
We are absolutely thrilled with our Smart garden studio, which we are using as a gym and yoga studio. The process of customising the design was easy and enjoyable thanks to the helpful and friendly team, backed up with an excellent website. The installation took place on schedule despite the July heatwave. The heat caused a few problems. but these have been resolved and the after care has been excellent.
Absolutely beautiful space to call my own! Really clever technology from start to finish. The office is highly customisable during the on site planning meeting. The build process is quick and painless. Mashing team of professional trades people with support from the back office project team. Like any building project there were snags along the way, but, quickly corrected and made perfect. Thanks to Ross, Lucy and all the team!
The experience with Smart Garden Offices has been brilliant from day one. The Smart team were very down to earth and helpful in explaining our options. On the week of the install the team were fantastic! They were all polite, professional and clearly passionate about their work and did a great job in getting our smart garden office in without any disruption. It’s now been over a month since the build and I have been using my smart garden office 5 days a week, and I absolutely love my new work environment. It looks fantastic, It’s as comfy as my house, and even during the recent stormy weather it felt safe and sound inside. If you are in the market for a garden office I would highly recommend Smart Garden Offices.
A huge thank you to everyone at SMART, I really couldn't be happier with my office! The process from start to finish was seamless. The installers were fantastic, on time, tidy, helpful and a pleasure to have around. It's now a joy to go to work in the mornings and the dog loves it too!
Really good service all the way from initial contacts, to safe showroom visit during the pandemic, and all the communications thereafter to make sure everything we wanted was just so. Thoroughly recommend the ground screw base, I was a bit sceptical but its really substantial and so much better environmentally. When it came to installation of the build the weather was awful, the guys were working in mud but managed to complete the build to a good standard of finish and could not have been more helpful. Really pleased with the final product and have really enjoyed furnishing and accessorising and now using our office every day for a couple of months. Really gives us the separation we wanted from our home to carry on working from home. Good value quality product from a quality company!
