Ancillary Structures
Granny flats, studios and cabins are becoming a much sought-after standalone solution for adding living spaces and further value to homeowner’s properties. DIY Framing kits, flooring system choices and stump/footing selection and accessories will vary across numerous manufacturers and can substantially affect costs associated with these minor structures.
Carports, patios and sheds can be simple storage, entertaining or weather protection structures that will require design and integration into existing structures, boundary conditions and superimposed loading scenarios.
Building methodologies can change significantly between building materials whether timber, steel or insulated panels. Designers must be flexible and encourage market-friendly solutions.
