Luckily, I convinced my wife to let me purchase her a pre-fabricated building for an office in February of 2020. We already had an existing concrete slab (12" x 12") where I had a 12" x 10" building put in. It took the work crew about 4 hours to build it. Later I had electrical installed and drywall an insulation put in. She really likes the space.

Was she filming a remake of Spinal Tap in such a small building? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=071cXxCNj5A

What is this, an office for ants? How can we expect to work if we can't even fit inside the building?

JW, how much was the total cost and where are you located? did you need permitting?

We are located in the SoCal Area. Since the building was under 12 x 12, no permitting was needed. The cost for the building itself was $5000. I had the electrician run power (1 20 Amp circuit) and install some lighting, that was $1600. To have the drywall installed was around $800. I believe we spent less than $100 to paint the interior.

Im not a real estate agent but i feel like that would more or less immediately pay for itself in resale value, if that makes sense. In looking at houses, if it has a space like that thats an immediate frontrunner for me.
