Shed/Guesthouse Cost?

    I'm considering building a large Shed/Mancave and I'm just wondering what the approximate cost would be for the following?
    Ideally I would like to build a good quality insulated ''Shed'' that would actually be more akin to a Studio apartment in terms of size/use.
    With that in mind I envision an @12' x 20' building with a pitched roof.
    I'd hope to install a small bathroom/shower aswell.
    THe main Idea would be that this would be a space for me to keep my bits and also to double up as a social space and a little guesthouse for when friends from abroad visit.

    I have in mind that the work involved will include pouring the foundation slab, services(Waste and Water hookup), Cavity Wall construction/Insulation, along with a decent internal plaster finish.
    I have earmarked a double width sliding door and some windows that I have spare for use on the project but I am just wondering what kind of ballpark budget I could get this done for?
    Assuming using contract labour?
    Thanks in advance folks.

    Based on experience of just finishing a similar project 10 to 12,000 should get you most of the way... will obviously depend on what part of the country you are in
