COVER STORY

Outside T the box

Renovating to accommodate multiple generations is the way of the future.

he granny f at, teenage retreat, dual-living home – the idea of more than one generation sharing a residential space is nothing new, but on the Sunshine Coast, many home owners and occupants haven’t had to share a home with extended family. That is now changing – as the population of the region grows and high-density housing increases, more and more renovators, home builders and buyers are calling for a home that can accommodate more than just the nuclear family.

Whether it’s regular visitors from overseas, the young adults returning to the fold or an ageing parent who you want to keep close, chances are at some stage you will live in a multi-generational home.

If you are renovating and the adult

kids are struggling with housing affordability, or even if you just want to keep loved ones close, it’s a good time to consider accommodating more than just yourself and your partner.

Even if you don’t need a multi-generational home now, you never know what the future holds.

So planning a space that is f exible is a great way to future-proof your most valuable asset. Here are some things to consider in designing a multi-generational home.

Go granny

If you have the land space, a self-contained granny f at is a good option. Small prefabricated homes that look like large cubby houses, converted shipping containers, repurposed caravans or amped-up

Sometimes the best move is not to move at all

BEFORE

RENOVATE INSTEAD

Stay at the address you love and save all the hassle and extra expense of moving. Let the highly experienced award winning team at T.M.G. Construction transform your home into something spectacular.

garden sheds are clever options for the home owner who wants to add a second dwelling in an innovative way. It might be tempting to simply plonk it on the lot next to your existing home, but think about how you can connect the two spaces, either via a covered walkway or courtyard. You could even place it under your main home’s roof ine.

In the zone

Simply playing with your existing home’s layout and rezoning areas can create a multi-generational home. If you are in the design phase, make sure you have adequate communal areas where the entire household can come together, which are balanced by private spaces that can be closed off from

the rest of the house. Have several points of entry to the home, to maintain that sense of separation.

Up and down

If you are looking to buy a property to convert to a dual-living home keep an eye out for double-storey homes. Removing the internal staircase could create plenty of extra room, as well as privacy.

Visitors welcome

A well-designed home should be f exible – if you are creating a space for long-term guests, ensure you can open up the home when everyone wants to be together, but then close off rooms when it’s just two of you at home – this will help save on heating and cooling bills too.

Granite Transformations is the pioneer in kitchen and bathroom renovations, celebrating 1 MILLION+ TRANSFORMATIONS world-wide

Play by the rules The Sunshine Coast Council recently released its new planning scheme, which allows for dual occupancy. This means two dwellings can be built on a single lot. Under the new scheme, adding a second dwelling on the same lot to an existing dwelling is generally self-assessable, which means home owners do not require development approval, though you will still have to obtain building approval. To f nd out more head to www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and click on ‘new planning scheme’ or call 5475 7526.

KITCHEN

Budget time Y

ou want to renovate the kitchen, so what’s your f rst step? Crunch those numbers before heading to your kitchen shop.

First of all decide how much you can afford and take off 15 per cent for the unexpected. So, if $30,000 is your limit, set your budget at $25,500 (with a $4500 buffer). Then start writing a wish list – think about what you need not just what you want, and collect samples and snip pictures out of magazines.

Break down your budget into f ve categories – tradespeople, cabinetry, appliances, benchtops and extras.

When budgeting, it’s worth

remembering you can save money in one area to spend it in another.

• Tradespeople – your plumber, electrician, tiler, builder or kitchen installer and painter will all cost you.

You can save money on trades by doing some work yourself. But unless you are a builder or extremely handy there is a lot you won’t be able to do.

However, demolishing the old kitchen yourself (assuming there is no asbestos in the house) or helping out the trades will cut down on your costs.

• Cabinetry – DIY f atpack kitchens are obviously a lot more affordable than custom-made cabinets with

soft-close drawers and all the bells and whistles. Even if you buy a f atpack kitchen it’s a good idea to get a professional in to build it – you’re not putting together a set of shelves, and you’ll need more than an Allen key to build your dream kitchen.

• Appliances – This is where it pays to spend the cash. If you are going for affordable stoves, ovens and dishwashers rather than top-of-the range appliances, check out the extended warranties – the peace of mind these give is often worth the initial investment.

• Benchtops – Stone, timber, stainless steel, engineered stone, laminate. There’s a huge range of benchtops and some home renovators just won’t compromise here, but if you are happy to save money on your benches there is a variety of laminate products on the market that are affordable and look great.

• Extras –Don’t forget to budget for all those extra bits and pieces such as f ooring, splashbacks, paint and lighting. Even if you go for the cheaper end, these extras add up.

BATHROOM

Splashing out I t’s easy to spend big money on a bathroom renovation, but if you want a luxurious space, it’s not just about how much money you throw at it. A luxury bathroom is stylish, practical and will last the test of time. Natural materials work well in this type of room, so go for timber, stone, glass and tiles. A luxury bathroom should be clean, inviting, and the quality should be evident from the moment you step into the space.

When choosing products for this room, here are a few ideas: • Go for freestanding baths made

from stone or synthetic stone.

How much can you expect to pay? The sky is the limit, with some baths costing more than $20,000, though you can get away with parting with as little as $5000 for a stylish place to wash off at the end of the day.

• For a truly spa-like experience, do away with the shower screen altogether. But if the space is too small for this, or you just can’t do without a screen, go for a custom-made screen treated with something like EnduroShield, which is a protective coating that

You no longer have to compromise with a one size f ts all product. Let Cut N Edge prove that we can make your kitchen, save you money and give you a kitchen you will be proud to show off for years to come.

• Custom-made vanities and bathroom furniture made from timber with soft-close drawers and stone or Corian benches will look good now and for years to come.

• A practical addition as well as adding to the sense of drama and space, lighting is so important in any bathroom,

but particularly in one that screams luxury, so spend plenty of time planning and choosing the right mix of lighting for your new place.

• The toilet should be discreet – a wall-mounted toilet with soft-close seat and wall-plate f ush is simple and understated.

• On the wall, a large frameless mirror will take up a decent chunk of your budget, but will add to the sense of space.

A large mirror is a must for a luxury bathroom.

PAINT

Deal with it G

one are the days when you could dispose of excess paint by tipping it down the sink or in a hole in the backyard, but most DIY jobs end with the same thing – at least a tin or two of leftover paint. So how do you deal with it? Building advisory service Archicentre has these tips: 1. Try to minimise the risk of excess paint before you start. Do a measure up of the area and get advice from your supplier about exactly what you need. You can always buy more for that last coat.

2. Use it. Keep some paint in a sealed can for touch-ups, or take it back to your supplier and have it re-tinted for

future paint jobs such as a feature wall or some outdoor furniture.

3. If you have a small amount of paint, tip some kitty litter or shredded paper into the can and allow it to dry before throwing it away.

4. For larger amounts of paint, head off to one of the Sunshine Coast Council’s tips. The council has eight rubbish tips around the region, but only Caloundra, Buderim and Nambour will take your excess paint, and only in ‘domestic’ quantities. To f nd out more head to www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au, click on ‘Environment and Waste’ and then ‘Waste and Recycling’.

Sit back and let the Haymans Maroochydore team take care of all your electrical and lighting needs 5. Don’t forget that when you are cleaning up during and after a paint job to use safe brush-cleaning methods.

Cleaning your brushes and rollers under the running tap over the garden bed uses lots of water and isn’t great for your plants. These toxins also leach into our soils and water courses. Archicentre recommends washing brushes in a labelled container and keeping the liquid secure for a few days in a safe place. For water-based paints, the solid particles will settle to the bottom and the liquid can be tipped off. For oil-based paints, this container should be disposed of carefully.

How to lay laminate 1. Clean the f oor and lay the appropriate moisture barrier.

• Place the laminate packages in the room so they can acclimatise for a few day. • Make sure the f oor you are laying on is dry and even. • Attempt to start and f nish the job on the same day. • Laying the f oor on cooler days is a good idea. • Your hardware store will sell crayons to cover up scuffs or holes. Grab a couple just in case.

If laying on a concrete f oor, run the barrier up the wall an inch or two. Then lay the underlay or padding on top of this.

2. Place the f rst board on the left-hand corner with the tongue facing the wall, parallel to the longest wall in the room. Place the wedges or spacers about 250mm apart to keep a 10mm gap between the panel and the wall.

3. When placing the second row, ensure the planks are staggered to achieve a random pattern. Use a wooden block and mallet to tap the second row into the f rst, and hammer until the gap disappears.

4. Continue with the other rows, ensuring the gaps between the boards are closed properly.

5. Take out your spacers and f nish the room with skirting boards.

o doubt as part of your renovation project you are selecting the perfect panes of glass to take advantage of your view. Your windows will probably take a good slice out of your budget. But what kind of window coverings will suit your new space?

Shutters are a great option all year round, but they really come into their own in the winter months. In cooler weather shutters help to insulate the home as well as control light. Open them up to take advantage of the view or close them to create privacy.

For a softer look, add block-out roller blinds, romans and curtains to your windows. Having them up or

With the large number and variety of new fabrics available for your window furnishings, it is so easy to create a cosy environment with the warm colours and textures of winter.

Updating your coverings is an essential part of the renovation process, but changing your coverings at any time of year can revamp an entire room.

OUTDOOR

Go to seed A

fter a hectic renovation there’s something a little disappointing about looking out from your fresh new interior through brand-new windows to see a big bare patch of dirt. So, f nish off your home properly with a lush green lawn, grown yourself from seed.

Head to your supplier with the measurements of the lawn to get the right amount of seed. Your supplier will also be able to advise on the best type of grass for your needs.

Then check the soil. Coast-hugging properties will have sandy soil, so will need lots of well-rotted compost and manure. If your soil is heavier, mix in

some organic matter to improve the drainage. Then give the soil a f nal till to make sure it is well aerated. Get rid of weeds, stones and any other bits and pieces and even it out.

Grab your seeds and spread them out evenly. But keep some aside. Give it all a light rake before watering the entire area.

Winter is a great time to get your lawn established as you will need to keep it nice and moist for the seeds to germinate. But keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t dry out. Once the seeds have germinated check for any bare patches and add more seeds if necessary.

Add some fertiliser every now and then while the lawn establishes itself.

HIA SUNSHINE COAST ROUNDUP HIA WELCOMES THE CONTINUATION OF IMPROVED HOUSING CONDITIONS After a year of strong growth in multi-unit building approvals in Queensland the recovery focus is shifting to traditional detached homes according to the Housing Industry Association.

For the three months to April multi-unit approvals are 10 per cent down on the same period last year but detached homes are up 15 per cent.

The slow down in multi-unit approvals is not unexpected as they have been at all-time highs in recent months. The benefits in activity levels will continue in the industry for a good while yet as this high level of approved projects start to be delivered. Work in this sector will be strong well into 2015.

The growth in detached home building is also widespread across the State with the exception of Mackay and Rockhampton, where activity peaked earlier with the resources sector investment.

Despite the slowing in multi-unit approvals, overall growth in approvals is still 4 per cent higher than the same period in 2013.

The Sunshine Coast is leading the way with a 64 per cent increase in approvals over the year, after a prolonged post-GFC period of depressed conditions. In real terms there have been 259 more dwelling approvals over the April quarter compared to a year ago.

This trend is set to continue with strong interest in investment housing combined with pent up demand. It is now essential that all levels of government work with HIA and industry to remove any barriers to renovation and new

home construction, including measures such as the cutting of red and green tape, tax reduction and investment in a skilled workforce.

HIA’S LOCAL MEMBER REP TALKS HIA

DO YOU HAVE THE NEXT HIA AWARD WINNING PROJECT ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

Angela Lamprecht is HIA’s Business Development Representative for the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay and has been helping industry members since 2010.

HIA’s Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards provide HIA members with the opportunity to showcase superior workmanship and technical excellence to consumers looking to build or renovate.

The Awards offer a variety of categories to suit any size business and or project across a range of markets, with brand new categories for innovative housing and residential design, as well as the traditional custom built, display, spec home, renovation and project home categories amongst others. Winning a HIA Award provides valuable publicity for your business and recognition as one of the industry’s best.

HIA Awards recognise excellence in the construction, design, innovation, efficiency and technology of housing, kitchens and bathrooms. Unsurprisingly the Sunshine Coast chapter of the awards is renowned for producing projects that go on to win much coveted State and National HIA awards.

If you are a HIA member and have completed a memorable project in the last two years, HIA encourages you to enter the Sunshine Coast Awards by the final closing date of 15 August 2014 (early bird registration is 1 August).

For all you need to know about entering the Awards and the many associated benefits contact HIA Sunshine Coast for a copy of the entrant information booklet or to speak to staff.

A large part of her role is to provide new members with information on how HIA’s services, rewards programs and benefits can help them to save time and money.

Through her extensive knowledge of HIA’s range of products and services, she ensures members can access legal, industrial relations, technical, economic, safety and insurance advice; stationery including contracts online; business compliance information and small business guides; training and workshops; industry events and networking opportunities; HIA Apprentices; and keeps members informed of current industry issues via publications, member alerts and specialist e-newsletters.

In addition to general membership services, she specialises in providing support to new and existing members seeking to up-skill their trade qualification by helping them navigate through the training and licensing maze.

Without a doubt Angela is well and truly committed to assisting members to manage the increasing pressures around operating a construction business and believes those that join HIA are taking a positive step towards the success of their business.

To discuss HIA membership & how it can save you ‘time and money’ contact Angela on 5451 9300.
