Thread: Thinking of Building

I looked into it a year or two ago. Worked it out to cost 100,000 to 130,000 to make livable. Plus most councils would only consider them as temporary dwellings. I wouldn't rule one out though


Base each room on 3.5 by 3.5 or 3.5 x 7.0 (you get the idea) to match bays and you'll be right


No termite problems though


Best one on show is at Tamworth beautiful

Is that based on one of those "Ausbarns" type sheds?

Kind of, execpt these are built to comply with dwelling standards not shed standards, have full rodent barriers etc and are fully approved as livable houses rather that temp housing.

Example of interior fit out

picture of interior is Tamworth office. Look good don't they.

I like it a lot. My plan was to put one on 5 acres, put the caravan in the middle, the car/laundry on the other side, and a kitchen/lounge on the other, bedroom upstairs. That way I can just haul out the van and lock up when tripping about.

Looks good Fully insulated I hope - be a bit cold in winter

When I worked it out it was to insulate, air con, plumbing kitchen and bathroom, water and ceptic tanks and power (the whole lot)

Yes, would be fully insulated/lined.

Should cost well under 200k including the land
