How One Father’s Backyard Build Secured His Son’s Future
When rising living costs made it almost impossible for David Geeson and his wife to find an affordable home for their son, they took matters into their own hands. Rather than waiting for the market to change, the couple chose to create a custom-designed iBuild kit home in their backyard – a decision that secured their son’s future.
A Journey of Research Leads to iBuild
David explored several granny flat options before discovering iBuild. “We were impressed by the variety – iBuild offered so many units, options, and floor plans. It was exactly what we needed,” he shared. After carefully reviewing costs and designs, David was particularly struck by the flexibility and customer service that iBuild provided.
A Customised Design That Fits Their Needs
David opted for a custom floor plan. “We ended up designing our own floor plan very close to some other ones but with a few changes in square meterage and sizes of the rooms,” David explained. “iBuild was more than happy to accommodate that and drew up the plans for us.”
High-Quality Kits and Seamless Construction
David’s friend, a carpenter by trade, was impressed by the precision of the pieces. “He said in normal builds you get a lot of offcuts and a lot of rubbish, but with the iBuild kit, we had very minimal wastage,” David remarked. The kit was planned to perfection, with trusses, frames, and plaster fitting seamlessly together.
Saving Big and Building Better as an Owner-Builder
Choosing to be an owner-builder allowed David to save on costs while maintaining control over the project. “By sourcing your own trades and pricing them up, you can often get yourself some good deals,” he shared. “The cost of building for us became really, really affordable.”
Exceptional Value for Money
David found exceptional value in their iBuild kit home. “We’re so happy with how it’s gone,” David enthused. “We feel we’ve built a really, really cost-effective unit for our son that’s high quality and will last the ages.” Impressively, the entire construction process took just two and a half months from start to finish. “You should be very proud of what you’re offering.”
Highly Recommended by a Satisfied Customer
Reflecting on the journey, David couldn’t recommend iBuild enough. “It was a smooth experience from start to finish – 100%, no drama whatsoever,” he said. Even the tradespeople were impressed, with some considering iBuild kit homes for their own projects. In the end, David couldn’t be more pleased:
“iBuild went above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”
