Why Do People Choose a Lift House and Build Under?
If you’re seeking to expand the space in your home, lifting the house and building underneath presents an excellent solution. This option becomes particularly attractive when there is limited room for a traditional extension on the side or when the vacant space beneath your floor is ideal for a build under house project. Adding a second storey not only provides valuable extra space but also offers a significant boost to the value of your property, making it a rewarding investment. If you have a deep attachment to your current home and the thought of moving is unthinkable, a lift house and build under becomes the perfect choice to accommodate a growing family.Here are the key reasons why lifting a house and building underneath is often chosen
- Small block of land: When there is insufficient space available on the side of the home to extend, a lift house and build-under option allows you to maximize the use of your limited land area
- Structural limitations: Some homes may not be able to support the addition of a second storey. In such cases, lifting the house and building underneath offers a viable alternative to expanding the living space.
- High flood areas: If you reside in an area prone to floods, opting for a lift house and build-under project can help safeguard your home while creating additional space.
Things to Consider With a Lift House and Build Under
Prior to embarking on the house lifting process, it is crucial to consider various factors. Insufficient planning can lead to complications that may significantly impede or even halt the build under house project. It is advisable to consult a reputable builder or building company with expertise in lift house and build under projects to obtain accurate information about the process. Here are some key considerations:
Connecting the new floors: Determine how the new floors will be seamlessly integrated with the existing structure, ensuring a cohesive transition between the levels.
Internal or external stairs: Decide whether you prefer to have stairs located inside the house or externally, considering factors such as space availability and personal preference.
Sufficient space for raise and close-in: Evaluate if your property offers enough space to successfully execute the house lift and build under, meeting the requirements set by the local council.
Floor plan reconfiguration: Assess whether the floor plan needs to be reconfigured to optimize the new space and enhance functionality. This may involve adjusting room layouts or creating new openings.
Repositioning of the home: Consider whether you desire to reposition your home, such as pushing it further back from the street, to achieve improved aesthetics or functional advantages.
Restumping requirements: Determine if the house will require restumping as part of the lifting process to ensure stability and structural integrity.
The Raising a House and Building Underneath Process
With Renovare Moreton Bay, the lift house and build under process contains important steps that our team of builders undertakes with total care. With crucial planning, engineering and approvals taken care of before any works commence, you can rest assured knowing our team will get the basics done first, so that your lift and build under can happen as smoothly as possible. From there, the magic happens. Our builders will work to separate the existing home from its foundation, raise it onto steel support, and then prop the home up to its approved height.
The next step will require the home to be supported by temporary bracing while new footings and stumps are being completed if it is decided that the home needs re-stumping beforehand. If you choose to extend and close in under house, this will be completed with either a concrete foundation or another subfloor that will utilise the same stumps.
