The Total Cost to Build my Dream YOUTUBE STUDIO

[@KonFilms]

Most asked question seems to be about the restroom facilities 😂 my bad on not being clear enough - this unit is part of a much larger building where we have a communal shared bathroom. In an ideal world I would of liked to of built my own bathroom // kitchenette area with a working sink within the studio to avoid using the shared one.

[@Rio-mh1qf]

Kon my friend where is the toilet ?!!

[@VibeVortex24]

Hey Kon, do you have Telegram by any chance?

[@zeesty5896]

Honestly Kon you've done really well with everything and your genuine happiness to show us represents what a good guy you are.

[@chris_mckenna99]

Honestly I'd love to see more KZbinrs doing videos like this. I understand they might not want to share their finances/ costs online. But it is a really good insight to in case people actually want to try and do it themselves! Great video as always, Kon! :)

[@cardermcbeath6210]

Kon’s dedication is wild

[@louisleaning]

That’s why he’s successful

[@babyyoda6791]

No

[@walshy3092]

He’s a employee of sidemen

[@Grimm66613]

It’s not that wild. If he doesn’t have it he can’t do his job. 🤦‍♂️

[@repeekhd]

Big up Kon for allowing us into the finances of the company. Not too many KZbinrs even show us a little bit, big thanks for the insight again, really interesting how it is!

[@ImRhys]

No one is more deserving to have made it so far as Kon. He’s single handedly helped some huge KZbinrs make their way to the top and managed to keep himself progressing at the same time. Solid dedication. Happy for you Kon!

[@LuisLuLu98]

So nice that Kon is so transparent…🙏🏻 That’s why he’s the 🐐

[@nathanhayne5905]

Just over 14 grand a month, doesn’t seem too bad since it’s a process and now it’s done you can rent it out for use and well use it. Big up our boy Kon!

[@kargando8482]

Kon is actually king, imagine what he could do worst with mainstream artists, his potential keeps showing more and more over the years so big ups to him

[@vt4a]

Well done Kon, you've absolutely deserved it. Your journey is just about to get more better! Keep up with great work :)

[@tiffw1987]

I am so proud of your accomplishments and your new studio.

[@hyde_official]

Thank you for your transparency.

[@Dexerto]

What a place 🤩

[@aarbee_]

your landlord must love you mate

[@mayrln]

well worth it IMO. even if you dont get your investment back, its a place you and many others will enjoy creating stuff. happy for you kon.

[@louisleaning]

Oh he gonna make it back easy

[@LilHazTV]

@@louisleaning why will he make it back tho like why does he need this studio ? He doesn’t make gaming etc all he does is video for sidemen I don’t understand why he needs this studio and all these rooms

[@bigman8733]

@@LilHazTVit’s the same idea as Oni Studios created by SypherPK. It’s a rentable space for content creators, photographers/photo shoots, podcasters, businesses, etc to do the work they do without having to own their own building or equipment. I personally don’t think a business like this is that profitable or is worth doing to the scale they have done, but maybe it’s a growing business that is needed more than ever before (not sure tho I don’t work in this kind of field)

[@quentinh3140]

@@LilHazTV late answer but Kon has a company called Ikon films, he does a lot of brand and clothing stuff. Sidemen just happen to be his biggest clients.

[@Ratjas.]

Keep up this hard work Kon! Big W!

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

Congratulations! Amazing Studio

[@kwakyegoode3695]

Good Job Kon love u n ur work I’m in Ghana and watch u a lot I hope to meet u one day U the man……GOAT

[@josh8740]

Kon should do a 72 hour overnight challenge in his office

[@KonFilms]

Mate I spend so much time in there already 😂

[@Its_Mel_D]

14:58 As an Aussie, I just want to say, great job on the pronunciation Kon! 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@ChilliTheDog]

Great job on the Bundaberg! Love the setup!

[@drinkingted3bear744]

I can’t believe he put this much work in a rental property… that’s the biggest shock of the video in my opinion.

[@DanielFernandez-gv6iy]

I’m sure he’s going to be In That place for decades so might as well I’d say

[@rebekahcharles4034]

I’m sure that if he racks up enough and puts in a good offer, the landlord may sell. If he ever planned on buying it

[@rmaacc25]

Same! The biggest risk is the landlord decides to seek it as a studio and Kon gets screwed

[@xLA625]

I'm sure he signed a long term deal. Most commercial deals go at minimum 5 years with an option for another 5 years (10 years). Also, 2,000 pounds for that warehouse is really good. In L.A. most warehouses are going for $2 a square foot. Plus, him paying rent is tax deductible for his business.

[@zakariyamiah5037]

It’s quite common. Loads of people renovate buildings they have a long term lease

[@Zamzinho7]

Thanks Kon! We appreciate you sharing costs and places you bought things from! Love the insight and transparency for your fans 👊🏽

[@karthiksizzler]

I love you Kon. Congratulations on finishing this.

[@Helpful_Lad]

The black nickle light switches are not cheap mate. They are classed as Designer Light Switches which means they will be expensive from your normal white switches. Good choice tho! Having every room black means it will be warmer in the winter but in the summer you might need the white just as much to keep things cool in the heat. The light bulbs? You could have got 2 ten packs of lightbulbs from Screwfix. Would have been cheaper too.

[@YeahThatsKyle]

Kon honestly has smashed it

[@matteopineda1428]

This will definitely be worth it, but Kon's gotta look forward to those TAX DEDUCTABLESSS

[@bibhushanrajthala]

You have done great kon...congrats on the huge success and a magnificant set that uve made

[@buddypreece1716]

This is awesome man! I am in the middle of building out our business space. I am putting a server rack in and hard wiring everything.

[@MultiEe123]

Love the transparency Kon!

[@bestieboo]

One of my many dreams would be to work with Kon, behind the camera of course.

[@ritwikjs]

Kon is very industry savvy, and knows how to network well. Both have served him very well, and im pretty sure he's caught the eyes of bigger company's who would want to be his clients

[@jakeharper1356]

Good on you Kon! It's been awesome to see your build videos throughout the project. Your hard work is well and truly paying off. Love your work, big up to you and the team 👏

[@MP39]

honestly not as much as i thought, well done kon it looks great

[@SirSatanism]

Damn I remember when you first posted and it was literally an empty shell. It looks so good, doesn't even look like the same building. I'd love to have something like this but damn that's expensive haha

[@ThomasP92]

Brilliant video mate. You seem so genuine and down to earth. You deserve the success bud.

[@codythorne8239]

Very very sick just sucks for timing on inflation on material and everything but now you can go to levels even further beyond!

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job kon thumb up .

[@courtneyparrish8576]

Congratulations!! This is what I’m talking about building your business

[@Joe_Edits]

LOVE this vid, you never get people breakdown how much a studio actually costs so really interesting to find out!

[@4baconandbeans]

Wow, what a sick studio! it'll be worth every penny.

[@kamalsinghsra67]

Congratulations❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@lorenzovonmatterhorn6773]

Man saved that much in just 6 months. Imagine wtf SDMN are earning man god fucking damn

[@Pontushakansson]

so awsome, such a insporation !!

[@Vhicken]

Wait you don't own the warehouse? What happens if your landlord just decides to terminate your lease, will you lose your entire investment?

[@velosofy]

Curious about this too!

[@Billyb0b557]

There must've been something in the contract where Kon can have it for X amount of years as long as he pays the rent each month

[@NavidVasei]

Normally yes this is the case as he is paying the rent rate for as is (usually landlords will offer discount/free months for improving the space)…if and when Kon moves to another place he can remove everything he has installed

[@dannysketch3374]

When you take on a commercial lease, the norm now is usually 3-5 years on a contract. The longer you take can have different risks to your business (may not be getting as much work, may need a bigger unit), you try to get a break clause put in so you can end it early at say - e.g. a year mark if something changes. A place like this in london may have been way too much for him to get a mortgage with all the other expenses and that's if theres one available for sale.

[@Reysekai]

Shoutout Kon fr man, big up yourself g!

[@adamontoya]

Great spot! Love the video.

[@shaekur]

Love the transparency mate

[@westhamsenan7186]

I'll be honest mate you've done well for the overall cost of the project and the highly finished outcome impressed mate

[@akaalsingh9752]

mad, thru the video i was thinking maybe like 40-50k. 85k it's nuts, however it's an A class studio so fair play

[@leahdaigneault4822]

Congrats, Kon!!!

[@quintessentialabishek9475]

Bro gave 20+ companies a shout out imagine the sales going up

[@pastorraul9034]

Bro that land lord should of paid you for all of this. Wild. Very cool! Nice work!

wait thats so much cheeper than i expected for such a nice studio

Actually unreal how much you transferred it from its original shell 👏🏼

[@amazanta1605]

Kon built diff in and out of the studio keep doing u

[@ThyGrimKnight]

only 85k? Kon your good mate honestly i thought with how it looks was well over 150k. but honestly that means it was brilliant work and u have some high quality stuff in there. good stuff love the work!

This is the video I've been waiting for!! Yes Now!! 🔥🔥 Bro Don't Miss And It's even better in person!

Wow amazing cant wait for the gym build update 💪

This vid was amazing :) Keep doing you Kon!

I need to start an artificial plant making company! Also what do you do if you need to go to the toilet?

[@m.l.rxx0782]

Mate u would have spent twice that in Australia so consider Ur self lucky that's how cheap u can get supplies. I do most works myself and can't meet prices like that. Good work kon bro

[@ObesessedWithLilac]

Wow this looks amazing! I love seeing things like these, especially the finance and designing part! What is the best way to find all the labour work?

[@haroonahmed2633]

Damn I didn’t know kon was growing a weed farm in his studio nice 👌

[@ajjoshi]

Honestly, you did well, most of your materials and costs are fairly good value

[@abeljacob7672]

Just insane🔥🔥🔥

[@zweier8092]

Kon deserves so much more subs!

[@Danxxz]

dream studio

[@MiDaY_i]

Wow that was a lot and hope you get good returns on your investements!

[@Zaccybacon]

Kon the place is lovely but as someone that works as someone that does everything there (plastering, painting, self levelling flooring, plumbing, electrician etc). Knowing that in the future you would want to eventually have heavy lights potential anchored to the wall on or from a beam; why did the builders not put ply wood or chip board before applying plaster board?

[@KonFilms]

I have actially now installed some metal beams and they are attatched pretty securley to another metal part of the warehouse that can sustain the weight of lights. It might be a bit unclear in the video but we made it work :)

[@Zaccybacon]

@@KonFilms okay, thanks for clearing up, makes sense now

[@revolvedronin6271]

$35,739.38 for 6 months = $5896.563 per month = $1474.14 per week = $210. 59 per day ( for labour prices) & $85.232.91 6 months= $14,205.48 per month= $3,551. 37 per week= $507.338 (for overall costs) for those that wanted to estimately know lol

[@AdmiralAids420]

This is incredible

[@tonaerio]

Wait if Kons renting the place, and he’s done all of this, spending tons and increasing the property value. What’s stopping the landlord basically just ending kons rent at the end and putting it back on the market with a much higher price

[@Billyb0b557]

Pretty sure they would have a clause in the contract that Kon can have it for X amount of years to get his value as long as he pays the rent

[@matt526]

Most of the time a commercial lease will be 3-5 years minimum, unless you agree with the landlord for a shorter term at a higher price or something.

[@tntcools1009]

love it

[@crysistec]

uk prices are mental , congrats tho , happy to see you rise

[@bimoaa]

This Kon YT space-esque studio looks sick

[@unknownbeats4490]

This is so cool, but I'll be honest I can't imagine putting this much work into a Reno job, if I don't own the building.

Looking forward to seeing the studio used in sidemen shoots

[@haarissiddique9246]

I was wondering how big your infinity cove is compared to the filming space for Sidemen 20 vs 1? Thanks

[@KonFilms]

Hello! My infinity cove is 6x6m and the one we use for 20vs1 is 11x9m. Not saying it can’t happen on a smaller city venbut with the larger one we are spoilt for choice of angles a lot more

[@callumwells6383]

As a painter u got that really really good price

[@gabriursa]

Crazy to renovate this much for a rental space. Will you even get that value back, i'm not sure.

[@lloydeboy5966]

love you

[@ShaeMarsh]

Haven’t been watching you long bro but love the content killing it

[@ArminKaba]

quick tip (for when you hopefully purchase a studio and decide to make the video) you should display before and after on the screen with like a graphic display. even though you show the footage for both and it can be obvious at times it would just be a good addon maybe its just me but i had to process it in my brain everytime.

[@ShaductorMPX]

You’ve done amazing Kon. But just remember that most of it you can claim a tax deduction because it’s a work expense

[@ChaosPromotions]

looks dope

[@HarryRose]

Surely I'm not the only one who was expecting the price to be 10x. Generally for what he's got, this is actually really cheap.

[@jashansogi2641]

18:40 damn, security is expensive

[@ability_444]

Crazy

[@Todez2]

Ngl I thought it would be way more like 100k +

[@nkdoherty]

I don't think i could invest so much in someone elses building.

[@JBG-AjaxzeMedia]

yoooo that plasterer is so high IQ, who needs ladders when you can use hydraulic STILTS!!
