As the cost of living, construction, and housing prices continue to rise across the country, many New Zealand homeowners are finding creative solutions to best utilise the space they have and enhance their lifestyle and kitset timber cabins such as a SheShed, are becoming an increasingly popular choice! And for good reason.
These versatile structures offer a cost-effective way to add extra space for work, family, hobbies or entertaining – from the comfort of your own backyard.
So how can a SheShed increase the value of your property?
One of the great things about a SheShed timber kitset cabin is that it is designed to be constructed DIY which means it offers a simple and achievable alternative to undergoing a complex home renovation or extension. In most cases there's no need to engage the services of a builder and no council consent is required*. The benefit to this is that once you've taken delivery of your SheShed, it can be up and constructed with you enjoying it within a few days!
*Check with your local council regarding consent for structures in your local area.
For many of our customers, solving a space issue is at the core of the decision for them to purchase a SheShed. Whether it’s the need for a dedicated area to start and grow a business, or a comfortable home office that allows you to work remotely, having a SheShed gives you the opportunity to reclaim your time, avoid daily commutes, and focus on achieving your professional dreams in a beautiful, custom-built environment.
Or perhaps the family is growing, and everyone could do with a bit more space to spread out and have the space they need to enjoy themselves. Imagine giving your children a quiet place to study, a space to foster new hobbies, or simply an area for everyone to unwind. What would it mean to you and your business or your family to have this extra space available in your very own backyard?
Not only do they provide practical benefits, but kitset timber cabins can also significantly boost your property’s value, helping it to stand out in a competitive real estate market. How many homes in New Zealand have a simple tin shed in the backyard? Plenty! And what sets them all apart from each other, well, not a lot really, but imagine looking at a property with a SheShed taking pride of place in the backyard. Now that would definitely stand out in a buyer's mind for all the right reasons, think of what could be achieved with a SheShed! In financially uncertain times, investing in a SheShed is a smart move by allowing you to solve a space concern without the need for costly home extensions or relocations.
The last few years have seen construction prices skyrocket, the cost of materials and labor have both increased significantly making it quite expensive to add an addition or extension to your home. A timber kitset cabin is a cost-effective alternative. For a fraction of the price of an extension or renovation you can add additional space to your property easily, often without the need to engage a builder or construction company this could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of precious time!
So why not enjoy both the increased functionality and long-term value that a SheShed kitset timber cabins offers!
