Why Choose a Kit Home?
Wondering whether you’ll ever have your own piece of the great Australian dream can certainly keep you up at night. Australians wishing to enter the real estate market face a confluence of obstacles due to a number of variables, including affordability and supply and demand issues.
Making the decision to buy a kit house can help you avoid many of the increasingly problematic aspects of buying real estate the traditional way. This can save thousands of dollars while also helping you benefit from other important advantages in terms of construction time, quality control, and more. We expand on this in the paragraphs below.
The Building Process
So, you’ve spoken to our experts and have big plans. But how does it all work? Here are some of the things you need to do once you’ve decided to purchase a kit home.
Buy the Land
Of course, one of the first things you need to do when building a home (of any kind) is to buy land. It is a more cost-effective option to design the house to suit your block rather than trying to find a block that will suit your desired home. Taking advantage of customising your own home allows many opportunities such as future-proofing, great thermal performance, and design features to meet the needs of the occupants.
Contour Surveys
Contour surveys provide you and the home designer with relevant information pertaining to your block and are available for purchase from a surveyor. This can help with determining the lay of your land, where you want to build your kit home and may even influence your design.
Concept Drawings
Concept drawings can help you visualise your build. This is also the stage where you can choose to add customisations to give your home a point of difference to what’s available on the plan.
Complete Working Plans
After deciding on the most suitable design for your block, the plans, setbacks, and elevations are drawn to coincide with your land. This is all done in accordance with local and state building codes to ensure everything is certified and up to par.
Engineers Report & Soil Test
When determining the suitable footing design and floor substructure system, the first stage is to supply an engineer with the complete working drawings and a soil test. A design will be created top show the depth and design of the concrete slab or the post footings.
Choose a Builder
With a reputable builder, your kit home can be ready to use or at lock-up stage within a matter of weeks (depending on the professional you choose, and their schedule).
Kit Homes are a Cost Effective Solution
Building your own home can be a stressful and costly endeavour and can come with many limitations. With a steel kit home this is not the case as you determine your budget and you have full control over your design. This method can become a more cost effective solution than your average home building venture, meaning you can save your money for something better, or add that extra finishing touch to a custom build.
