Building for Family: Catherine’s Kit Home Journey in Edwardstown
A Practical Backyard Project
Located in Edwardstown, South Australia, Catherine Kowalick is preparing to build a one-bedroom Mornington kit home in her backyard. Designed as a comfortable and accessible home for her mother-in-law, the project focuses on creating a practical living space that will allow family to stay close while maintaining their independence.
Building for Family
Having completed home renovations in the past, Catherine and her family wanted to take on an owner-builder project for the first time. Their priority was finding a solution that was manageable, affordable, and could be completed progressively without the pressure of coordinating an entire build at once.
The compact layout was carefully chosen to support future accessibility, with an open-plan living area, generous bathroom, and a simple design that would be easy to navigate if mobility needs changed over time.
Why iBuild
After researching a number of Australian kit home suppliers, Catherine found iBuild offered the right combination of convenience, flexibility, and thoughtful design. The staged kit delivery suited their first owner-builder project, allowing them to work at their own pace rather than having all the building materials delivered at once.
She also appreciated the comprehensive inclusions, reducing the need to source numerous structural components independently. With a Bunnings nearby supplying the staged kit deliveries, the logistics worked particularly well for their property, which has limited side access.
Designed for Comfort and Accessibility
After comparing several designs, Catherine selected the Mornington because it best matched the family’s long-term needs. The separate bedroom, spacious bathroom, and efficient floor plan offered a practical solution without compromising comfort.
She also wanted to keep the plumbing and electrical services concentrated along one wall where possible, helping simplify construction and potentially reduce installation costs.
Building with Confidence
For Catherine, this project is about more than adding another dwelling – it’s about creating a comfortable home that supports her family’s future while giving them the confidence to take on their first owner-builder project.
With a practical design, staged kit delivery, and the support of the iBuild team, Catherine is turning her vision into reality. Backed by Australia’s Most Trusted Kit Home Supplier, she’s building stronger, smarter, faster and more affordable.
