It comes as new planning exemptions came into effect yesterday.
Homeowners should budget at least €100,000 for a high-quality, fully compliant 45-square-metre modular garden cabin.
That's according to Anthony Foy, owner of Eire Log Cabins in Mountlucas, as new planning exemptions came into effect yesterday.
The rules allow modular garden cabins of up to 45 square metres to be built without planning permission, subject to notifying the local authority.
The changes also remove planning requirements for certain bike and bin storage units, increase the exempt size for back garden sheds, and expand exemptions for heat pumps and external wall insulation.
He says people need to take into account electrics, groundwork and plumbing budgets:
