Welcome!

I'm not sure about cost but I do see some problems with your plans, specifically with the wood shavings and the electric heater.

Greenhouses with orchids are wet drippy humid places. The wood chips will rot and harbor bugs and diseases and the heater will get wet and short out.

Use brick or gravel on the floor. Whatever heat source you decide upon, make sure its rated for outdoor/greenhouse use.
