Hi All,
We have space next to the house where I would like to attach a carport or garage. Above this I would like to add a family room. (Banyule council - Vic)
I am expecting that because the carport would go over the existing driveway, I would cut costs significantly versus building a garage which would need a slab, extra walls, etc. Is that a valid assumption? (nb. I would probably do the parralel wall to the house in brick for support, but the two other ends would be open.)
The ground is level at and access is ok.
I am also trying to a do basic cost estimate the cost of building this (ballpark stuff), and don't know if adding a room 30sqm that just has electricty, insulation, windows etc. (I.e. no plumbing, no kitchens etc) would cost 50k or 150k.... My expectation is about 80k for a nice family room.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
David
