Have you considered a garage conversion for more usable space in your home? Additions being added to your home can be very costly due to needing a foundation laid. You should think about converting all or some of your garage into the needed space you’re looking for. HBK Constructions is a great contracting company in Melbourne, VIC, that can help you with garage conversions.
What Is A Garage Conversion
Many people have garages at their homes and don’t use them to store their vehicles. It becomes a place to store boxes and extra items that you don’t have room for in your home. Even if you use your garage for your vehicle, you may be able to utilize half of it for the usable living space you need.
You can turn a garage space into about anything that you need to. If you are working from home and need a place to call an office or if you need a play area for kids, a garage conversion can be the answer. Some other options are:
- Guest Room Or Garage Apartment
- Art Studio Or Craft Room
- Home Gym Or Weight Room
- Movie Room Or Game Room
- Music or Sound Studio
- Teen Hang Out Or Man Cave
- Hobby Room or Collectibles Space
- And So Much More
Reasons A Garage Conversion Is A Good Idea
A garage conversion can be an excellent idea for many different reasons. It is away from the main part of the house and offers a bit of a separation from the commotion. Even with an attached garage, you will still get the separation. If it is used as an office, it is a way to separate work from home life. Financially, it is a project that costs less money than adding to your home.
The value of your home will improve as well. Garage space doesn’t appraise for as much as living space does, but when it is converted into usable space, that changes. The value of the renovated space value is the same as the space inside your home. If you can still leave room for the vehicle to park, that is even better.
Costs and Time Of A Garage Conversion
Construction projects in your home can vary by company and by the amount of work you are doing. If your garage is smaller and does not need as much work, then the time and cost will be less than a larger garage. It is based on the amount of work that the contractors need to do in the long run. Don’t forget to consider the need for:
- Running Electricity Wiring
- Installing Plumbing
- The Need For Walls and Insulation
- Installation Of Flooring
- Installation Of Heating And Cooling
- Installing Windows
In most cases, the cost of a garage conversion is going to be substantially less than an addition being made to your home. The foundation that needs laying is the costly part of the project for home additions. With a garage conversion, that is not usually needed. An average cost of a garage conversion is around five to twenty thousand dollars and takes four to six weeks.
