Granny Flat
Granny Flat in Australia
Innovative Construction Techniques in Australian Modular Accommodation
Do you want to offer a relative or loved one the privacy of a self-contained granny flat while sharing your home with them? Granny flats and annexes do indeed offer a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the main home would do.
Granny flats actually have a venerable history, dating back to a time when widows would earn much needed income by letting out their carriage houses, or couples could let their main house to visitors while spending the summer in an annexe, or bachelors, workers and young couples could enjoy affordable housing within easy reach of their place of work.
To return to the present day: we find designers in Australia moving away from the traditional brick and tile home construction to take advantage of new construction methods and innovative materials in the burgeoning manufactured house market.
When you think about the soaring costs of on site construction, and the difficulties of ensuring that your new house is environmentally sustainable, and the extra expense of complying with occupational health and safety regulations, the new construction methods developed for manufactured housing become more and more appealing.
In Australia there are lots of companies offering a range of manufactured houses to suit every budget and every taste. These companies offer a range of floor layouts so you are bound to find just what your require. They are also able to customise a floor plan to conform with any special requirements. And, of course, there is also a wide choice of exterior finishes to select from.
So it's good to know there is a wide choice available to suit your budget whatever your needs - be it a seaside home, a lakeside cabin, or a granny flat to be added on to your existing home.
Kit homes have many applications - they are ideal for granny flats, military accommodation, miners' accommodation, teenagers' retreats - anywhere where a piece of suitable land is available.
And let's not forget one major advantage of modular kit housing - it can be relatively easily transported to a new location if required.
