At Tasbuilt, the beauty of modular is that it works for any block, no matter how steep, how sloping or how flat (of course). If you’re lucky enough to have a pretty flat block, you might be thinking your home will stay at ground level. But just because you’ve got a flat block doesn’t mean that you can’t raise your home off the ground. Many people have the advantage of a convenient, flat block that is easy to build on, but still choose to raise their home of the ground. Below are three reasons why it can be a good idea to extend the piers your house sits on, and increase the height of your home above the ground. 

Capture a View

Do you have a block that boasts stunning surroundings? Think a water view, green forests, or rolling hills. But is your block of land just that little bit too low to be able to really make the most of those views worth capturing? That’s when it can be handy to extend the height that your home sits above the ground. Doing this can mean that you capture just that little bit more outlook, and a choice that you’re future self will forever thankyou for.

Under-House Storage or Parking

If you need that extra bit of external storage, or maybe even a sneaky parking place for your vehicle, under your house can be the ideal location. Think things like lawn mowers, outdoor tools, bikes etc. Maybe the underneath of your home could be your new back shed! Just mention this to us in your discussions with us and we can arrange for suitable access, either through doors or garages. 

Increased Street Appeal

Sometimes, extra height can increase the overall street appeal of your home. Whether it’s for added grandeur, feature, or something else, going up can be the right choice if you want your home to be unique and stand out compared to others on the street. 

So, if you’ve got a modular home in mind, just remember, you don’t have to stay low. Although it’s probably an unthought of idea, it might be just what you need for your new home. View this project that’s a prime example of these three reasons!
