The Contempo Style of home with its more complex exterior design is costing approx $35,000.00 in total more than each standard home.
Decks
A lot of our homes lend themselves to a timber deck as the indoor/outdoor flow from living areas to outside is now more popular than ever. Big River Homes can also supply pre-fabricated tanalised pine decks built in our yard. Extra piles are placed with the house piles as to sit the deck units on and fix to. This gives an exceptionally quick and effective outdoor living area which looks great! A 6m x 2.4m deck ususally costs $9,900.00 +gst .(South Otago area).We can also supply & fit deck piles for you if you would like to construct the Deck itself on your own accord?.
Garages
Big River Homes can arrange for a garage to be built once the home is onsite, roof lines on the transportable home can accommodate a garage roof once the home is onsite. This is done in the yard as to make building the garage onsite much easier.Depending on workload in the yard however it may be more economical to employ the services of a local builder for the onsite garage construction.
