Home studio building firms

JohnPerry

I'm sure we've been down this road a few times but i cannot find the thread for the life of me. I've searched for literally moments. Has anyone had a soundproofed home studio built? A purpose-built annexe or separate studio in the garden, that kind of thing? If so which are the firms to get a quote from? Plenty of garden building companies have a soundproofed music room option but it's anyone's guess if they're any good. Is the a firm that just does this, maybe? Any recommendations? I have a space about 27ft by 12ft once the derelict garage is gone next month.

Just get a regular builder to do it.

You will pay 3-4 times for a specialist acoustical company to do it.

Do some research on the correct approach for your building- the John L Sayers site is great: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/index.php

Make sure you plan it properly- I've built a few studios - the first couple were rubbish because I didn't plan properly.

I'm pretty decent at it now- mainly because of the help I received on that forum.

Thanks. I'll have a trawl

My bandmate just turned his derelict double garage into a great studio space with help from a regular builder and some research into acoustic treatment.

Unused double garage became this:
