We are looking for dual occ opportunities. We saw a place that has an existing house and a detached enormous garage with electricity but no plumbing. Colour bond walls, roller doors, insulated colour bond roof. It must have been about 80-90 sq m.
We are asking our questions here in case there are those who know from experience.
How do you turn a colour bond garage into a 3 BR, two story brick home? We'd plan it for the same slab. But how does the plumber put in the pipes if you've already poured the slab? D they dig up parts and then reseal it?
What are cost effective ways of building a basic home....do we go to the likes of Meriton, Barrington for a ready made design, or use a private builder?
Are we on the right track to look for existing garages with the slab already poured, or is it perhaps cheaper to get a company to do it from flat lawn to lockup? We would not be doing any building ourselves.
Thanks
