The Granny Home is Becoming Extremely Popular in Australia

You might have a relative with whom you want to share your home and want to offer them the privacy 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 is actually part of a tradition that goes back more than a century, to a time when widows used carriage houses to supplement their income, couples spent the summer season in them and rented out the principle house to tourists, and workers, young couples and bachelors regarded them as affordable places to live within easy walking distance of work.

With the trend moving away from more traditional brick and tile house building, 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.

Actually, the building methods developed for kit homes make increasing sense, when you consider the soaring costs of on site construction, the extra expense of complying with OHS regulations, and the demands of ensuring new building work is sustainable and environmentally-friendly.

There are several Australian companies who offer a variety of manufactured homes to appeal to every taste and budget. They offer a choice of floor plans so you are certain to find one that’s just perfect for your requirements. They are also able to customise a floor-plan to conform with any special needs. There is also a choice of exterior designs to select from.

So, whether you need a granny home to be added to an existing house plot, or a sea-side home, or a lakeside cabin, it’s good to know that there are cost-effective solutions available.

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