Here are a few photos of my build timeline from an old shed to a new workshop.

Just for context, I have never built anything like this before, so shoutout to Liam @thegardenroomguru whose YouTube videos are a lifesaver!

I'm guessing I saved myself £12-15k by doing it myself.

If you have any questions, fire away.

Looks very nice.
I am always amazed at the prices of as it were "off the peg" wooden buildings, usually pretty flimsy too. Far better to do it yourself.
My latest is 4.8x3.6m external. 4x2 frame, membrane, battens and featherboards outside and T&G chipboard flooring boards inside. Roof membrane and corrugated bitumen sheets on battens on a shallow pitched roof. No insulation as just a storage shed. All on an existing concrete base. All in cost me about 2k.
Looking around the various garden buildings places I would be looking at 3-4 times as much for something made out of matchsticks.
