Sleep Outs
Hi,
Does anyone know approximate costs to build a smallish 2 bedroomed sleepout with small shower/toilet room and also a kitchen/lounge area?
Thoughts appreciated.
Cheers,
Yogi.
PS. Am factoring it in to our plans as would be useful for additional income and perhaps for visitors from time to time...

have a search through as lots of companies build them, versatile buildings in chch being one. but don't forget to allow money for planning and inspections etc.

We saw a few sleepouts for sale along side the used houses in a couple of the sales yards, maybe it's worth a try having a look at them.

I love those House Sale yards. I think it's surreal that you can point to a house in the middle of a junk yard and say "I'll have that one. Can you deliver it Tuesday?" :laugh Beats waiting six months for a new one to be built.

Just a bit of useless info, growing up in NZ we referred to these sort of 'sleep outs' as 'Granny Flats'!!! :laugh :laugh :laugh

Hey Deb ... we call them Granny Flats here in the UK too. They're usually an extension of the house though, not a separate building in the garden.
One of our 'requirements' is a sleepout as I know we'll have alot of vistors. My sister is amazed at the thought that we're going to put her in the 'garden shed' when she comes to stay :laugh

I really like the idea of a separate wee house to put guests up in. Especially if my MIL does come and stay for six months as she's threatened (then it really will be a granny flat) :laugh :laugh :laugh .
We definately either want one, or the room to build one at a later stage.

Hi Yogi,
I'm not IN New Zealand yet, but a search with Google (www.google.com) gave me this link:

I liked this one as well: http://www.skylinegarages.co.nz/gottages.cfm
I typed in NZ builders sleepouts
Hope this helps you!

Hannah,
Both those sites really good thanks, but sadly no prices on either of them. :(
Unless I am having a particularly bad plot-loss morning? :)
Cheers,
Yogi.
