Recently, my partner and I decided that it was about time we left the rental market and opted to buy a home of our own. I wanted our new house to be completely ours in terms of design, colour and location - money permitting or course. So we decided to look at land and building costs - and oh my, our budgets didn't spread far within the Australian building industry... or so we thought!
My partner and I had gone from project home to project home - and we were constantly let down by the deceiving "shell prices" followed by how long they expected us to wait while they built our house. A girlfriend of mine suggested we have a look at an affordable housing alternative - steel kit homes. Now to be honest, at first thought I wasn't into the idea of a shed home at all - but I thought it couldn't hurt just to have a look. And in my searches, I found that there are many advantages to steel-kit-homes.
The steel-kit-home has come a long way in recent years. Many of them are aesthetically brilliant, and you wouldn't even know they are so called shed homes. Gone are the days when a steel building was just a shed that you housed all your gardening tools, they are now being used as modern day homes, in modern suburbs, by modern people.
Not only do these steel kit houses look good, but these homes are so much more economically viable. The one we have our eyes on comes in kit form - delivered right to our block of land, and now we have the choice of being an owner-builder or employing the services of an already established professional builder. This shed home will inevitably save us thousands on labour and machinery costs, as they are much easier to put together and don't require the use of heavy materials. The best part, kit homes are flexible and relatively easy to re-design at minimal cost. Steel-kit-homes come in many forms and shapes - and because you don't have to fork out for so much material, you often get a much larger property for a fraction of the costs with other construction methods.
Another interesting fact about shed homes is that they are designed specifically for the harsh Australian environment. Australian steel kit homes are designed to be strong and are more likely to stand the test of natural disasters such as cyclones, relentless winds and fires. Kit homes are also more resistant to termites, as they don't offer the little parasites anything tasty to feed off of.
There is only one concern that I have about living in a shed home, and that is the heat factor - however, with the modern insulation and air conditioning, this really shouldn't be a major factor.
