What does the builder do while he's waiting for trusses on his next job? Renovate at home, of course!
Yes, that's an enormous opening in the floor too.

Thank you Zoe for your pics & review.

"From when we first made contact to delivery it has been such a smooth and professional service. Our bespoke cabin is made up of fantastic craftsmanship, optimum quality and the perfect addition to our home.

This was a bespoke cabin for Michael & Zoe who needed an office. They requested simple plywood linings & 2.6m desk across the width. They were so happy on delivery & were amazed at the ease to get it to their house.

We had a bit of fun moving this existing sleepout (not one of ours) to its new location this week. We needed a couple of pilot vehicles which added to the fun.

What do you do when you need more space at home but you are concerned about rising housing interest rates, inflation & costs going up? What you might have done in a more buoyant economy would be up sell & upsize or build an extension. Maybe now that's not an option. Have you thought about a sleepout or cabin? Cut through red tape & buy your Gus's Cabin to solve the issue of needing more space. Then when you're finished with it, you can sell it.

We said goodbye to our cute little sleepout to Emma today. She'll be using it for her office and to have as an extra room for when guests come to stay. We hope you enjoy the extra space Emma

Our next job is under way - any guesses on what it will be once finished? Hint: not a sleepout.

Great news for anyone thinking about adding a sleepout, shed, or small studio to their property!
Recent changes to building rules mean it’s now easier and faster for homeowners to put up small structures without the usual red tape.
What’s changed?
🏡 No setback required for single-storey buildings under 10m² — you can now build them right up to the boundary without needing consent.
📏 For buildings between 10m² and 30m², the required setback has been reduced to just 1 metre.
🛠 Many small structures up to 30m² can still be built without a building consent, as long as they meet standard Building Code requirements.
These updates make it simpler and more affordable to add practical spaces like sleepouts, home offices, hobby rooms, or extra storage — perfect for growing families, side hustles, or smart property upgrades.
What this means for you:
✔ More freedom in how you use your section
✔ Faster project timelines
✔ Lower upfront costs
✔ Easier to add value to your property
If you’ve been considering a sleepout or small studio, now’s a great time to get started!
