Low Cost Housing Solutions for Australia
This site exists to make people aware of options for constructing quality, durable and safe homes in a cost effective manner. In Australia and around the world there is a need for scalable, durable, functional attractive homes that can be easily and quickly put together.
As the owner of Happening Real Estate, I have watched prices of homes climbing over the years in Queensland and across Australia generally, and it caused me some concern, thinking about the situation of young people today. In discussing the reasons for the high price of today’s accommodation, we can point to various factors – such as restrictive local government zoning practices, high state and local taxes, lack of public infrastructure and so on, but as private citizens we cannot do much about this. What we can do is find ways of using what we have better. If we can create ways to build good homes for people that are:
1. Functional
2. Easy to live in
3. Durable – termite resistant and strong
4. Cost effective – value for money
5. Quick to construct, and
6. Scalable, if need be
then I think we are onto a winner. We can help people to save more, and thereby invest their efforts into other sectors of the economy, or get a measure of personal freedom back.
Various technologies now exist which will facilitate this. Together with Peter Whiffin, and backed by many years of combined experience in the building and construction industry, we are in a position to offer quality solutions that provide value for money in this area.
Using steel-floors and treated wood frames, with quality weatherboard exteriors, very attractive low-maintenance homes can be quickly built – even according to your designs! They can go up in a relatively short time, saving you money on holding costs.
If you live in New South Wales and have the available space to build a granny flat on your land, this can be a highly effective property investment for you – generating a positive cashflow and giving freedom for retirees to rent out living space and create a residual income for life!
We have great solutions and designs for granny flats to any level of desired finish. These can even be built on sloping blocks!
