garage conversion

I got one done last oct cost me 4000 euro

I got the garage door removed and a bay window installed
The walls where insulated with kingspan insulation board 150mm thick and then skimmed to depht of 3mm
There was a door put in the hallway to the new room
i got 2 roof lights
and some sockets and a vertical rad
the room was painted in white and i paid for carpet and blinds myself

if you need any more info or photos of samei can send them to you
 
Make sure that you check the exempted development section of the planning regulations to ensure that you dont need planning permission. Link is as follows:

Your situation is covered in Paragraph 6

Also note that if you are commencing the works now, you are oblidged to comply with the recently released Part L, with regard to energy efficiency, link below:

http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/BuildingStandards/FileDownLoad,27316,en.pdf

You are likely to have difficulty in making sense of Part L by yourself. The main point to note is that you are now required to provide much higher insulation levels in your extension/conversion than you would have had to if you had converted the garage pre November 2011.
