Not only can granny flats add more room to your place but they also help in enhancing the overall look of your house. Granny flats are also known as accessory dwelling or secondary suits and they can be used for a variety of purposes. They are not only meant to give you enough space to accommodate a dependant relative they can also be used for nannies or as added living space.
Granny flats can be built in various forms, such as a carriage house, garage apartment, or an upstairs apartment. They are living units with separate entrances and because they are so convenient, they are becoming popular by the day.
Modular houses sit on piles. This means that, in general, minimum earth movement are required so vegetation does not need to be disturbed by heavy machinery. Also, since the house is built off site, there is minimal noise impact, rubbish, dust, debris and disruptions of the neighbourhood.
Even when the house is built with the same materials and using the same workmanship quality, a modular home offers a higher quality for the reasons outlined above. However, the only price difference is due to transport costs and this will depend on how far the building will need to travel before it reaches its final destination and how many modules need to be transported.
However, there are also some savings associated with a modular home and they have to do with the shortening on the time of construction. If you are paying your home through a financial institution, you do not need to be paying interests for stage payments which some time are very much apart.
If you are renting, you will save thousands of dollar due to the fact that your house is built in such a short period of time.
Hydock’s company offers two Container Houses basic options for taking delivery of the houses.
