Maybe you have a relative with whom you wish to share your home and want to offer them the privacy of a self contained annexe? Annexes and granny flats can afford a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the principle house.

The humble granny home, actually, is part of a tradition that stretches back more than a century, to a time when widows used carriage houses to pad out their income, couples spent the summer in them and let out the principle house to visitors, and bachelors, young couples and workers found them to be cost-effective places to live within easy walking distance of work.

With the trend moving away from more traditional brick and tile house construction, designers in Australia are exploring new construction methods that will take full advantage of new, innovative materials which are being introduced into the modular accommodation market.

In fact, if you think about it, the construction methods developed for modular homes make more and more sense, when you consider the rising costs of on-site construction, the added expense of complying with OHS regulations, and the demands of making sure new building work is sustainable and environementally friendly.

There are many Australian companies who offer a variety of manufactured accommodation to appeal to every budget and taste. They offer a choice of floorplans so you are sure to find one that is just right for your requirements. They can also customise a floor-plan to conform with any special requirements. You also have a choice of exterior designs to choose from.

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

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