Modular Accommodation For Your Australian Granny Home

You might have a relative with whom you want to share your home and want to offer them the convenience of a self-contained annexe? Granny flats and annexes often offer a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the main house.

The humble granny home actually belongs to a tradition that goes back more than a hundred years, to a time when widows used carriage houses to add to their income, couples passed the summer in them and let out the principle house to guests, and workers, young couples and bachelors regarded them as cost-effective places to live within easy walking distance of work.

While the trend is to move away from more traditional brick and tile home building, designers in Australia are exploring new construction methods that will take maximum advantage of new, innovative materials which are being introduced into the modular accommodation market.

In fact, the construction methods developed for modular accommodation make increasing sense, when you consider the soaring costs of onsite building, the extra expense of complying with occupational health and safety regulations, and the demands of ensuring new building work is environmentally friendly and sustainable.

There are several Australian companies which offer a choice of manufactured accommodation to appeal to every taste and budget. They will offer a choice of floor-plans so you are sure to find one that is just right for your needs. They are also able to customise a floor-plan to conform with any special needs. There is also a choice of exterior designs to choose 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 affordable solutions to be found.

Kit homes have many applications – they are ideal for granny flats, military accommodation, miners’ accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, modular cabins – anywhere where a suitable piece of land is available.
