What to look for when choosing a relocatable or second home home builder
With more and more people working from home or choosing to relocate to more rural areas, relocatable homes and granny flats have become very popular with those wanting to increase their space, or occupy new space!
If you’ve decided that a relocatable home or granny flat is right for you, it’s time to start looking for the right builder. But how do you know who to choose?
Here’s what to look for when choosing a relocatable home builder.
Are they registered builders?
Each state has different requirements and licenses for granny flat and relocatable home builders so it’s important to check that you are using a relocatable home builder that holds the correct licenses and insurances that permit them to carry out work.
Do they arrange your permits?
It’s one of the most daunting and tedious parts of getting something built, but it is crucial, too. Learning whether your relocatable home builder takes care of the planning and permit requirements will save you trouble when it comes time to start the process. Some relocatable home builders like Ironbark Cabins will even help you apply for building grants like the HomeBuilder grant or help you with secondary dwelling rules and regulations.
Do they have testimonials and photos (and a website)?
In this day and age, every business should have a website that features photos of their work and testimonials. You should be able to view previous relocatable homes they have built and testimonials from past clients. If you can’t find any, they should be forthcoming with providing it to you. It’s also a great way to get an idea of their design style and see if it fits in with what you envision.
Do they communicate well?
When you’ve invested in something as important as a relocatable home, you want quick and efficient communication with your builder. It’s imperative that you get along well with them so that if you have any questions or concerns, you’ll feel comfortable contacting them.
Do they take care of the entire process?
The last thing you want is to be project managing your build, so make sure you find a relocatable home builder that manages the whole process for you. In order to make the whole thing more seamless, sit down with your builder and get them to map out the process of building your relocatable home with you so you understand what is happening when, and the time it will take. Then you can relax knowing everything is taken care of!
