Maybe you have a relative with whom you wish to share your house and want to offer them the privacy of a self contained granny flat? Granny flats and annexes can provide a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the main house.
The humble granny home is actually part of a tradition that stretches back more than a hundred years, to an era when widows used carriage houses to add to their income, couples passed the summer in them and let out the principle house to tourists, and workers, young couples and bachelors found them to be affordable places to live within easy walking distance of work.
While the trend is to move away from more traditional brick and tile house construction, designers in Australia are exploring new construction methods that will take maximum advantage of innovative, new materials which are being introduced into the modular accommodation market.
In fact, when you think about it, the building methods developed for modular accommodation make increasing sense, considering the rising costs of on site building, the added expense of complying with OHS regulations, and the demands of ensuring new building work is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
There are several Australian companies who offer a variety of manufactured accommodation to suit every taste and budget. They offer a choice of floor plans so you are certain to find one that’s just right for your needs. They can also customise a floorplan to conform with any special needs. You also have a choice of exterior looks to select from.
So, whether you need a granny home to be added to an existing house plot, or a lakeside cabin, or a seaside home, it’s good to know there are cost-efficient solutions to be found.
Kit homes have many applications - they are perfect for granny flats, military accommodation, miners’ accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, modular cabins - anywhere where a suitable piece of land is available.
