What Does a Bespoke Framed Building Cost? Prices & Factors Explained
A bespoke oak framed building doesn't have a fixed price list — which is exactly why the cost can be hard to estimate. The price depends on the dimensions, the chosen timber, the roof shape and the finish you want. This page explains which factors determine the price, so you can form a realistic idea before requesting a quote.

What Does a Bespoke Carport Cost? Prices & Factors Explained
A bespoke carport doesn't have a fixed price list — which is exactly why the cost can be hard to estimate. The price depends on the dimensions, the chosen timber, the roof shape and the finish you want. This page explains which factors determine the price, so you can form a realistic idea before requesting a quote.
First choose your style: traditional joinery or modern
The first choice that affects the base price is the frame style. Both are built with the same hand-cut mortise and tenon and half-lap joints; the difference lies in the look.
What determines the price of a carport?
Because every carport is built to order, there's no fixed price per model. There are, however, several factors that always determine the price, whichever type you choose:
Dimensions
The larger the area and the longer the span, the heavier the beams need to be — and the higher the material cost.
Model
A freestanding flat roof or an attached lean-to require a different structure, and therefore different costs.
Walls & finish
An open structure, timber cladding, Ipé slats or sliding glass walls vary considerably in price.
Roof covering
With or without roof boarding, and whether premium EPDM roofing is added.
Foundation
Concrete piers with adjustable stainless steel base plates for a level, sturdy foundation add to the base price.
Extras
Sliding glass doors, a barn door, or steel doors and windows are options that further affect the price.
Oak or Douglas fir: what's the price difference?
Douglas fir is the most popular choice when budget matters: it's lighter, more affordable, and worked with the same hand-cut mortise and tenon and half-lap joints as oak. Solid oak is the pricier choice, but delivers a heavier, more durable structure with a distinctive look that weathers to a beautiful silver-grey over time. The price difference, then, isn't in the quality of the joinery — that's identical for both timbers — but in the material itself.
Wall finishes: from open structure to a full garden room
The biggest price range often isn't in the frame itself, but in the walls. An open structure is the most affordable; timber cladding in Douglas fir or oak, or luxury Ipé slat walls with a privacy layer, raise both the price and the comfort.
Why a bespoke quote, not a fixed price list
Because every frame is designed specifically for your garden and cut with CNC precision, the price varies from project to project. That doesn't mean you're left guessing: our online configurator lets you build your own carport in five steps — from frame style and timber to walls and extras — and shows you the total price including VAT immediately. That way you know exactly where you stand before requesting a quote.
Frequently asked questions about carport prices
Why is there no fixed price list for carports?
Every carport is designed to order: dimensions, timber, roof shape and finish differ per project, so the price varies too. Our online configurator does give you an instant price based on your own choices.
Is oak always more expensive than Douglas fir?
Yes, solid oak is generally more expensive than Douglas fir. The joinery and finishing quality are identical for both timbers.
Is assembly included in the price?
By default, Hardhout Discount delivers a kit with construction drawing for self-assembly. Assembly by a professional can be requested separately.
How do I get an exact price for my situation?
Use the online configurator to build your own carport in five steps. You'll see the total price including VAT immediately, based on your own choices for dimensions, timber and finish.
