Sloping Sites
Steel is proven to be a stronger product than timber; it is termite free, non-combustible and most importantly easier to build with because of its light weight, more flexible attributes. You'll notice that most high-rises today are built out of the same material because of the sheer speed difference and lack of cranes required in its implementation.
Because of these fantastic benefits, ASK HOMES have become synonymous with sloping sights and "pole homes" as you may have heard them referred to. Great views often come with the side of a mountain as your building platform and this usually puts a lot of people off building with a view. But the truth is these initially scary sights are often the most profitable. Once the home is finished, people don’t worry about how it got there. You'll often find that sloping sights are a little cheaper than the flat blocks meaning again more room for realising some equity!
In these instances steel would definitely be your number one option. ASK HOMES have tackled some seemingly impossible blocks very eloquently. The unique steel floor system that ASK HOMES recommend is designed specifically for sloping land and natural construction that puts least pressure on the environment. In addition people also have the option of filling the under area of the home in later to create additional rooms.
Value adding to realise equity is very popular in Australia at the moment so if you can design your home to allow for it in future then you're well ahead of everyone else. Over the past few years Australia has seen an increase in Buyers Agents, who are mostly employed for their advice on this subject. A common rule these kinds of people will tell clients is "If you are only relying on capitol growth then you're not moving ahead at all".
With the Owner Builder system and the KIT HOME building supply format, clients are able to gain fantastic investment returns through value adding as well as capitol growth. When client’s homes are complete they are often able to use their equity to purchase a second investment property.
