HAPPY FAMILIES

Most people prioritise security and easy living in their retirement years looking for that extra peace of mind. Experienced builder Homeplus Improvements is providing platforms for a number of such families wanting to have their ageing relatives close by with cost effective alternative to a retirements village. General Manager Stephen Davies says Homeplus can custom build a structure such as a granny flat that's totally independent from the main dwelling but suits your needs and space.

Homeplus can build a cost effective granny flat, teenagers' retreat, games room or gym. Stephen says it could be a structure for retirees living near children as added security or something for "kids" living at home well into their 20s and needing more space and independence."There are no mass produced, prefabricated materials involved and they can be built on site to your specifications by our licensed tradesman," he says

Homeplus deliver steel frame construction for peace of mind against termites while sloping blocks pose no problem with its stump and bearer construction. Stephen says "if you are looking for an entertainment room adjacent to your pool to complete a special al fresco living experience, Homeplus can deliver it too. A detached room can provide self contained living with kitchen and bathrooms included"

This type of dwelling could also make it more tenable for families wanting to share the costs of home ownership whilst still maintaining the independence of each person according to Stephen. "Construction is still exactly as with all our other extensions and enclosures and we look after the entire process for the client" he says.

Materials used can either be Permalum Cladding or a rendered panel system. Homeplus Improvements is a member of the HIA and can build that extension you have always dreamed of for less than you thought.

Homeplus can deliver everything from Patios and Pergola Coverings  to Gazebos, Verandahs and Windbreaks. Winterlite Screens are another, attractive, affordable, and low maintenance solution to bolster your home's value.

Homeplus Improvements meets new standards of energy efficiency

A new milestone for Homeplus Improvements: with every job we do, the customer will now receive an independent report verifying compliance with the new South Australian Housing Code's requirements for energy efficiency. Some of the things included are:

  • R2.5 wall insulation, plus cladding and gyprock to achieve R2.8
  • R3.5 roof insulation , with air space and gyprock to achieve R3.8 (with a light-coloured roof)
  • Windows with comfort glass or 6mm sun energy glass

What does this mean? It means that our customers will be getting better-insulated extensions than ever before, which means greater long-term savings on heating and cooling bills, and a decreased carbon footprint across the lifetime of the building. Adding on isn't just easy - it's sensible!

Home improvements in real time

Thanks to everyone who visited us and said hello at the Building and Home Improvement Show 2010. The show was a huge success, and we could see the interest as members of the public got up close and personal with Homeplus products such as the Queensland Enclosure we built on-site as well as our popular Winterlite screens. It was great to be able to show people how quickly and easily a quality home extension can be created by our team. Here are some snapshots from the show!
