So, you’re thinking of building a class 1A liveable dwelling. Congratulations it’s an exciting process designing your own home, but one that can take many twists and turns, and that mainly with the local council. Class 1A means it’s a portal frame construction, so it’s built just like a shed, nice and easy, quickly, and most importantly relatively cheaply. But ultimately it will be a place to call home, and from your local councils’ point of view it’s just like you are going to build a brick and tile structure.
Questions like, What overall size is the structure, Do you have a soil test, How you are going to insulate it, Ventilate it, Plumb and sewer it, and exactly where are you going to locate in on your land are all issues that need to be addressed, along with many many more!
