From the time they first came into being around the 1920s, kit homes have steadily risen in popularity due to a lot of reasons: affordability, lack of suitable housing sites, steep and sloping blocks, the emergence of new design concepts and lack of available tradespeople. Involving yourself as owner-builder can คอนโดมือสอง ราคาถูก be fulfilling but take note that it involves a lot of risks that you need to be aware of and understand before finally deciding to undertake such a huge project.
In addition to making sure that the kit homes you purchase fits your budget and design plans, you should also be able to determine the following factors: the inclusions like council plans and specifications, engineer's certification and instruction manual, if the materials are pre-cut according to your specifications, the timeframe for making and delivering the kit to your preferred site and if there are any fees that need to be paid like council fees and lodgment of plans, transport and delivery and costs for any alterations or changes made and that's just the start.
You also need to determine if your kit home will require concrete slabs or will it come with a steel floor system, how many deliveries it will take to complete it and if any charges apply for these deliveries, what construction materials are included and if product warranties will be in place.
You should also consider the supplier or manufacturer you get your kit homes from reputable companies with formidable industry experience, preferably with memberships in any of the well-known housing associations like the Housing Industry Association and the Master Builders Association Australia, one that is familiar with your state's local council regulations and one that provides extensive owner-builder support.
You should also know that a contract is one important document when you purchase your homes and that you should hire a legal counsel before signing anything. Upon signing the supplier will generally request a deposit amount from you but take note that there is no specific amount they can ask from you but you will need to exercise caution and be wary of suppliers who ask for exorbitant fees especially before the materials have been delivered.
You should also be aware of the insurance conditions that are attached to the purchase of kit homes and its installation. You may only be covered by insurance if your licensed contractor doesn't fulfill the work promised within the specified timeframe, if the work is defective and if the construction suffers from subsidence or settlement. You can only be covered under these conditions if your contract includes both purchase and installation.
And last but certainly not the least, if you appoint yourself as owner-builder, you will need to get the necessary licenses and permits that are usually given after you've attended owner-builder courses online or off. You should also be able to comply with regulations like the Worker's Compensation Act of 1987 and Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000. You also need to maintain and create a safe working environment and be responsible for sourcing out materials of good quality to ensure that the structure you build is fit and safe to live in.
