Granny Flats in Australia

without comments

Do you have a relative who you want to share your home with and want to offer them the privacy of a self-contained granny flat? Granny flats and annexes do indeed offer a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the main home would do.

Granny flats are actually part of a tradition that stretches back more than a century, to a time when widows used carriage houses to pad out their income, couples spent the summer in them and let out the main house to visitors, and young couples, bachelors, and workers found them to be affordable places to live within easy walking distance of work.

With the trend moving away from more traditional brick and tile home construction, Australian designers are exploring new construction methods that will take full advantage of new, innovative materials which are being introduced into the manufactured housing market.

As a matter of fact, the construction techniques developed for manufactured housing make more and more sense, when you take the rising cost of on-site construction into consideration, and the difficulty and expense of complying with health and safety regulations, and making sure that new housing is environmentally sustainable.

You can find manufactured housing to suit every need and every budget in Australia – several companies offer this service. A choice of floor plans is available so your are sure to find what you are looking for. They are also able to customise a floor plan to conform with any special requirements. And, of course, the exterior finish comes in a wide array of choices and is equally customisable.

So, whether you need a granny flat to be added to an existing house plot, or a lakeside cabin, or a seaside home, it’s good to know there are affordable solutions available.

Manufactured kit housing has many applications, wherever a suitable piece of land is available: mining accommodation, military accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, granny flats.

And let’s not forget one major advantage of modular kit housing – it can be relatively easily transported to a new location if required.
