Building a guest house on your property can provide you with plenty of additional living space and income. Since this is a major project, however, you will need to consider several factors before going through with it.
You will need to find out what’s legal and what’s not in your municipality. Different municipalities have different rules on guest houses. You should also check with your homeowners’ association because some don’t allow guest houses. This is a major construction project, and this means that it requires permits and strict adherence to building codes and construction regulations. We highly recommend working with a design/build contractor.
A design/build contractor has handled projects of this scope and nature before so the crew can assist you with planning for this project. They can also help assess your property and figure out the best location for your new guest house. A good contractor will help you visualize how the addition of your new guest house will affect your surroundings. After all, the guest house might accidentally block your favorite view.
A guest house can provide a better experience to your visitors. You can offer them conveniences that they can’t find in a hotel. Your new guest house also offers you the potential for extra income or can transform your property into a multi-generational household. Finally, a guest house can offer you a private and comfortable space where you can escape and relax whenever you want.
