Granny Home – Affordable Modular Accommodation in Australia
You might 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 more independence for relatives than living in the principle house.
The humble granny home, actually, is part of a tradition that goes 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 main house to tourists, and workers, young couples and bachelors found them to be const effective places to live within easy walking distance of work.
While the trend is to move away from more traditional brick and tile house building, 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, if you think about it, the building methods developed for kit homes make more and more sense, considering the rising costs of on site construction, the added expense of complying with occupational health and safety regulations, and the demands of making sure new building work is sustainable and environementally friendly.
There are many Australian companies which offer a variety of manufactured homes to suit every budget and taste. They will offer a choice of floorplans so you are sure to find one that is just right for your requirements. They are also able to customise a floor-plan to conform with any special requirements. There is also a choice of exterior looks to choose from.
So, whether you need a granny home to be added to an existing house plot, or a seaside home, or a lakeside cabin, it’s good to know that there are cost-effective solutions to be found.
Kit homes have many possible uses – they are perfect for granny flats, military accommodation, miners’ accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, modular cabins – anywhere where a piece of suitable land is available.
