[QUOTE=trainwrex;837246]so bumping this up..

anyone got any recommendations to where i could look into?

Thinking about prefab concrete panels with an insulating core also.

Or if anyone has any other recommendations as to material that would be great.[/QUOTE]

What kind of approvals from the council have you got? (if your going to get it approved) we found that when we built the granny flat that the main hurdle was what we could build not what the costs were...

But if you have it all approved. I would contact your local Philipino brikie and get them the build the walls (not being a racist but generally the 'Asian' brickie will get the job done the quickest and cheapest) then get a quote from a shed building place for a gable roof?

The only problem with that is the council may want a builders reg number.

But I would guess that you could get that done for less than $10k

Get a draftsman to do your drawings , submit council application. Once approved organise required trades, if you don't feel like doing the ring around post jobs on serviceseeker.com and have them call you

I have council approval to build, its just replacing an existing structure. I am asking whom has used any particular company to do a similar construction.

And what type of materials ppl have used in addition?

If you are thinking tilt up panels, there is really no need to have it insulated as well, unless you dont like the look of concrete.

The concrete panels though will require designing, approval and then all the requirements for lifting. That is quite a large project.

I was thinking about texture coating the outside.

But i dont know how expensive the panels and installation are compared to traditional brick panels or sound barrier panels...

I got a quotation of panels from urban wall but they seem more expensive then getting a brick wall constructed..

they will do mate. You will also need specific licenses to even able to lift the panels...

Typical brick construction will be cheaper, all be it slower in build but overall process will be about the same

For the granny flat that we build we have used a normal shed and then used insulation and gyprock to seal up the walls and roof... its an idea if you're wanting an enclosed shed. Would't be able to say what its worth just doing that as a shed but all up we paid about $30k for the project... the 6.4m x 4.6m structure cost $14k but that's including pad, two windows, door, veranda, insulation and labor. Slap on some Gyprock and you're done.

Gyprock isn't bespoke enough especially for whats to be stored in the garage.

Oh okay, so I'm guessing that Tino is going with brick for the moisture/heat and sound insulating purposes?

Sorry just thought I would put some input in :(
