Longer Stumps for Added Space
Many customers have inquired about the possibility of using longer stumps to raise their home, creating space for a shed, garage, or additional storage underneath. The short answer is yes – iBuild allows for this option, but a few key factors must be considered:
- Engineering requirements – A structural engineer will need to assess the appropriate stump height and support requirements.
- Council regulations – Local councils may have height restrictions or specific building codes, so it’s essential to check before proceeding.
- Site conditions – Factors such as wind rating, soil type, and terrain can impact the feasibility of raising your home.
If you’re considering this option, iBuild can provide standard plans and refer you to an engineer for further assessment.
