Benefits of Buying 2 Storey Homes Builders

Single storey homes are still the “traditional” type of home in WA, however the popularity of two storey homes is growing and there are times when the benefits of buying two storey homes become too good to overlook. There are hundreds of beautiful two storey house plans of all shapes, sizes, materials and prices available from dozens of builders throughout Perth and WA. You can choose from basic, small designs right through to elaborate, luxurious abodes with all the trimmings and everything in between!

The benefits of building double storey homes include street presence (double storey houses look more substantial and impressive), multiple living options (bedrooms upstairs with downstairs living/ parent’s retreat upstairs, kids downstairs/ family business downstairs, bedrooms & living upstairs and so on), building up instead of out could save you backyard space to install a pool, build a patio entertaining area or create your dream garden and of course double storey homes offer you a view of your surroundings which is ideal for coastal living, rural settings, the hills overlooking Perth city, or living near rivers, lakes and canals.

Two storey homes are not generally well accepted by the elderly due to not being able to climb stairs, but for those willing to pay the money there are options available to assist the elderly to access their upper level such as elevators or chair lifts. Often the assumption that two storey homes are much more costly than single storey homes is enough to deter buyers however Great Living Homes in Mandurah have developed a unique method of construction which enables them to build two storey designs at extremely competitive prices. Additionally they offer a wide choice of materials to assist with cost reduction and they are more than willing to alter floor plans to suit individual buyers in order to make more affordable 2 storey homes.

The new technology used by Great Living Homes involves building the upper floor on the ground first and lifting it up in the air to finish building underneath. This method means all work is completed on ground level which provides a safer work environment, it also means they do not need to use scaffolding, cranes or other bulky and hazardous equipment thereby reducing costs and providing a cleaner and more accessible work site. If you are considering building a 2 storey home in Perth, it is definitely worth having a chat with the specialist 2 storey home builders at Great Living Homes.

Great Living Homes Offers a Range of House Designs at Budget Price

The process of finding the perfect home designs in Perth usually begins with many long visits to Display Home villages or trawling the internet for pictures and house plans, but after all of this many people come out more confused than when they started because they have seen so many things they want to include in their new home, but there is often a limit to the money they can afford to spend or to the size of house they can build.

Sometimes it is best to start looking for suitable home designs once the buyer has already secured the land to build on, this way they can narrow down the list of designs to choose from simply by having information such as the zoning of the land, the location, which way the home will be positioned, whether the garage needs to be at the front or rear of the home, what council regulations apply and of course the size of home they can comfortably fit on the block.

Most people know going into the process whether they want to find 2 storey housedesigns or single storey and it is often difficult to change their minds once they have decided this, so this decision can also help to narrow the field of choice when selecting home designs. For example, if the buyer knows they want a 2 storey home then they are likely to be unhappy with settling for a singlestorey design so instead they can search for specialist 2 storey home builders and reduce the number of builders they need to make enquiries with. The location is another piece of information that can further reduce the size of the home builder pool to sort through because some builders may only build in selected regions.

Smaller home builders are often overlooked because they may not have the big advertising budgets that the big companies do, but on many occasions smaller builders provide faster and better communication because they have fewer clients to assist. They also tend to have more time to spend with their clients ensuring they are completely happy with their home design and they take more care throughout the building process. Small builders are also more likely to offer custom home design services rather than selling high volumes of standardised designs.

So when you are looking for home designs in Perth, support the little guys and look forward to seeing big results!
