a mum and dad has come to you and said look we are just pulling our hair out we don't know what to do this could be an option for us they sit down they go through the numbers they talk to you suddenly it's an illumination yeah definitely and we're seeing it happen more and more often at the moment we've even got one client we're about to start building for and they've done the same thing they've just built a brand new home but because it was a small parcel of land the house size isn't massive so we're actually building one putting it in the backyard for their daughters to live

And I think things have really changed in the last 10 years.

10 years, your kid used to turn 18 and you say, right, time to get into the real world, look for your own place.

But the way the housing market is at the moment with rent just not being affordable, I'm seeing so many more parents come to me and not even the children that are coming to me.

It's the parents themselves saying, look, they want to give their kids a bit of a head start.

They want them to start living by themselves, but I know they can't afford rent.

So they're putting one of these in their backyard for three, four, five years until they save up.

And then they can repurpose that unit as well as put a roof over their kid's head and help them kind of grow in the market themselves.

Yeah, yeah, that's spot on.

And a lot of people do think that there's not really an option, but we've got so much technology with cranes and front of trucks and that kind of thing that there usually is nine times out of 10 always going to be an option.

And the good thing is because we build them offsite, our foot traffic is very minimal.

The install usually only takes a day or two and all the other works are completed offsite.

So it's simply just doing some footings, the electrical and plumbing and then craning it in and it's pretty much ready to go.

Yeah, thanks, mate.

Better get back to building and looking forward to a few more episodes and talking everyone through the process.

Cheers.
