3 Reasons to Use a New Home Builder for a Guest Cottage
If you have extra land, you may have thought about developing it somehow. One of the options that came to mind might be a small guest cottage for family or friends. Since the tiny home movement started, finding smaller house plans for guest cottages has become increasingly easier. The trick is that you may not be able to handle it on your own and you might want to change some things about the original plans. This is where a new home builder comes in. Here are three reasons you need to use a new home builder for this type of guest cottage project.
Changes to Design
One of the first things you may notice when you buy plans for a guest cottage is the layout. The layouts are generally based on patterns similar to that of a tiny home. This means that the locations of things like washers and dryers may be in odd locations for you or your guests. You may also find that there is no space for these items at all. A contractor can help with these types of new homes and design or make changes so you can fit in the items you need or expand areas, like the shower and bathroom.
Additions to the Home
One of the aspects to many guest cottage blueprints is a loft style bedroom rather than a ground-level bedroom. This can be difficult for some of the guests you may have. A new home contractor can use the blueprint and design new homes that allow for a ground-level bedroom. In many cases, they may take the loft area and turn it into storage if the house has very little storage. This can add more space in other areas of the guest cottage design as well.
Material Changes
Smaller cottages may be designed for certain types of environments. For example, you may have a guest cottage layout you love, but it is designed for a tropical environment or extreme cold weather environment. This means the materials used for it are vastly different from what you need for your environment. New home builders can help make these changes and advise you on what materials may be best for your needs while still achieving the home look you want.
