With the new year settling in, now is the perfect time to pull out those plans to add that much-wanted, and special new living space, from a conveniently accessible and personalised Home Office or Granny Flat, to an exceptional Backyard Cabin, and everything in between.

Creating a personalised, pre-designed space initially sounds like a lot of work, however with IdeasWood, it’s a seamless and exciting experience that will save you time, money and make 2023, your year of simple living.

Brian Best, Australian Building Expert, and owner of IdeasWood, welcomes new clients. Make 2023 the year to put your customised pre-made home plans into action, and let IdeasWood design and create that special space you’ve always wanted.

“With IdeasWood’s custom-space construction process, we help customers through the entire process, making it easier for them,” says Best. “In addition, we can provide flexibility to the designs, making sure that personal requirements are included,” he adds. “Most importantly, our customers are supported by experts in the field,” says Best.

From that fun-filled weekend camping house, to that compact granny flat with all the perks and personalised specialities, the possibilities are indeed endless with the IdeasWood team. However, it starts with a simple action of preparing that design layout or plan as meticulously as possible beforehand.

We encourage our customers to identify what they want in their new space and discuss these with the IdeasWood team to ensure that the final design incorporates and accommodates everything on the wish list. In the long run this saves time for both the customer and the IdeasWood team and negates the need to go back and forth during the construction phase.

“Size plays a big role in a customised space, as ultimately, customers want their personalised design to be spacious, comfortable and versatile,” says Best. “At IdeasWood, we foresee spatial queries to ensure that we can construct a well-sized environment that meets the need of the customer,” Best adds.

Time is a valuable currency in the construction process for both parties. Many competitors take multiple months to complete a customised pre-made space. However, depending on the  design, IdeasWood can usually reach completion and hand over the keys in an amazingly short time-frame.

“Our holistic assessment and consultation processes are pivotal in the development of both standard and customised projects,” says Best. “At IdeasWood we take pride in our ability to develop a solid communication platform with our customers and help them to design their ideal space,” he adds.

As 2023 gets off to a start, so should the momentum of getting closer and closer to the construction of that dream space. It starts with a call, or an email. So, contact the experienced minds at IdeasWood, and let them get your personalised space created in good time.

With the scarcity of Australia’s rental accommodation, the cost of renting a house, as of April 2022, has soared to 21.2% in capital cities, according to The Guardian. Thus, the national rental crisis continues to burn holes in the pockets of consumers.

On the plus side, a worthy alternative is a granny flat. Granny flats are ideal for both older, and younger individuals. With a range of both family and financially specific benefits, a cosy, spacious and convenient granny flat has great advantages.Young adults who want to move out of their parents’ home can utilise granny flats as a cost-effective alternative to the ever-increasing rental accommodation rates.

Brian Best, owner of IdeasWood and kit shed expert, discusses the benefits of granny flats. “Major benefits include convenience and security.  Older or young family members can still reside within the family property where they can be monitored and cared for, if necessary, yet still retain their independence,” says Best.

Granny flats can provide a quality and conveniently constructed kitchen area, along with one or two versatile bedrooms and a well ventilated bathroom area. Other features include sound-proof and thermally efficient walls for those cold days, as well large windows to bring in the much-needed breeze on hot days.

Tight, grain timber is usually the best construction material, particularly for the walls. It’s entirely natural, sustainably sourced, solid, easy to paint and available in abundance in Australia. “If individuals reside within a fire prone environment, they can apply fire paint as a precautionary measure,” says Best. “If need be, the IdeasWood team can Colorbond clad the exterior of the granny flat. They can also provide a corrosion resistant steel-based roofing with either a matte or metallic finish to enhance the look, as well as meet all roofing requirements,” adds Best.

IdeasWood specialists provide a wide and varied range of granny flat design options that can be customised by clients to meet the needs of occupants. For example,  multi-purpose rooms that can be utilised as a bedroom, study or home gym. IdeasWood specialists are particularly helpful when designing for the older inhabitants and can provide extra handrails as necessary, step-less entries and exits and wider doors and hallways designed for wheel chair accessibility.

Granny flats, in comparison to many modular homes, provide economical and adjustable features for any occupants on a budget. Building approvals are often quicker to obtain, thus saving time, and the delivery of the granny flat usually takes place within weeks, depending on the custom design.
