Cost of construction of greenhouse

The cost of designing a greenhouse varies depending on size, choice of materials and specific adaptations. Here is an overview of our basic project costs:

• Small greenhouse (up to 10 sqm): approx. 5,000 - 10,000 SEK

• Medium-sized greenhouse (10-30 sqm): approx. SEK 10,000 - 20,000

• Large greenhouse (over 30 sqm): from SEK 20,000 and up

Building permit and how it is done

Building a greenhouse may require planning permission, depending on size and location. In general, the following applies:

• Building permit required:

• If the greenhouse is larger than 15 sq.m

• If the greenhouse is to be placed closer than 4.5 meters from the plot boundary

• If the greenhouse is to be connected to an existing building

This is how the building permit process works:

1. Contact us: We will help you with advice if you need a building permit and prepare all the necessary documents.

2. Application: We submit the building permit application to your municipality.

3. Processing time: It usually takes 4-10 weeks for the municipality to process the application.

4. Decision: When the decision is ready, construction can begin.
