Top Garage Conversion related questions

Yes, but only if it’s a simple conversion that doesn’t require much alteration and you have all the necessary tools. Should your garage conversion need more complex tasks like reinforcing the foundation, putting up partition walls, installing plumbing and adding more wiring, you’re better off hiring an expert. Don’t forget that any demo or remodelling work needs a permit, and they must comply with building codes - so why not hire a Tasker?

An in-law suite is a small living space much like a small apartment. Depending on their purpose and who occupies them, In-law suites can go by other names like Ohana suite, secondary suite, granny pod or granny flat. It’s just another term for the guest house on your property or attached to your single-family home where your in-laws, other family members or friends can stay. 

This can take at least a week to at most a couple of months, depending on the scope and scale of the job. Garage conversions without much remodelling can take shorter times. But if your garage conversion needs new foundations, you’ll have to allow for a couple of days for the concrete to dry along with all the time it takes to do the other tasks. Ask your Tasker for an estimate of your timetable. 

A permit is needed on a case-to-case basis. Regulations on garage conversions can vary from state to state and council to council, but if your garage conversion involves altering the structure, a permit is usually required. Before you begin any work on your conversion, consult your architect or designer, then have the design and floor plans looked over by your local council. 

Yes, for as long as it doesn’t infringe upon or reduce your garden’s total square footage. Your garage conversion also shouldn’t overlook your main home and cause privacy issues between occupants. If constructed well and given a lovely interior, your garage conversion can add as much as 30 per cent to your home if you put it on the market! 

It sure can! Just make sure that your local council will allow it. Please ensure that you can park your car on your property without a garage or on the street. If you get permission to convert your garage into an in-law suite or guest house, then take on renters; you can make as much as 27 per cent of your home’s total value in rental income. 

What do garage conversion services include?

Garage conversion includes all the tasks and activities necessary to transform your garage into a room or area that can provide additional living space. You can use this service to convert what is used to store your cars or various odds and ends into a bedroom, family room, music room, or lounge - the possibilities are limited only by the space, creativity, and budget. 

Garage conversion specialists can assist you in coming up with a suitable design for your garage, get the necessary materials, tools and hire the labour to execute the design.  

Planning your garage conversion

Some Taskers can draw up all the possible design options if you don't have a design ready. After inspecting the site and taking all the necessary measurements, your Tasker can talk to you about what you want from the garage conversion and provide you with the appropriate garage conversion floor plans.  

Do you need to see all the possibilities of your garage conversion? Your Tasker may design options that match your needs and provide several options for as long as time and budget allow. Should you lack any permits or other essential documents from your local council, some Taskers can get these for you upon request. 

Demolition work

Your Tasker may find it more cost-efficient to demolish any damaged walls or floors. Once the permits are secured, and the team of garage builders are ready, your Tasker and the garage builders can take old structures apart; this can include removing unnecessary walls, insulation, the garage door and automatic garage door assembly. 

You may want to hire another team of specialists to clear the debris after completing demolition. Now that you must park your car elsewhere, consider hiring someone to install a new security system or make sure the existing alarm works in your vehicle

Reinforcing or laying new foundations

Your Tasker can have the builders reinforce or lay down new foundations as necessary, as when your garage is built on clay soil and adjacent to your home. They can have fresh concrete poured into the appropriate areas and amounts. This can create new and more sound foundations or reinforce existing ones. Your garage builders then let the concrete dry for 1 to 2 days. 

Flooring, Walls, Windows & Doors

If new foundations were installed then dried and set, your Tasker could have new flooring put in. Working from the ground up, they can install underfloor heating systems then finish with tiles or floor planks. 

Garage builders can construct and place new partition walls, install frames, install the insulation and conceal them with new wall panels. Your hired Tasker can have any new windows and doors installed as well. 

Electricals & Plumbing

Your Tasker can hire someone to install new wiring, as well as employ a specialist to install any plumbing for a new kitchen, bathroom or both. They can oversee the work and ensure that the installation is up to code and meets industry and safety standards.

I am planning to convert my garage into a Small Office Unit (SOU) with a bedroom and bathroom, located in Saint Albans, Melbourne. I seek your expertise to ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and to navigate the permit process efficiently. Below, I've outlined the specifics of my project with attention to compliance requirements: 1. **Insulation**: To meet the NCC's energy efficiency provisions, particularly Section J for residential buildings, I intend to incorporate high-performance insulation in walls and ceilings, ensuring an optimal thermal performance rating. 2. **Plumbing**: The addition of a bathroom necessitates compliance with NCC Volume Three - Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), focusing on water efficiency, sanitary drainage, and waterproofing requirements. 3. **Waterproofing**: Adhering to AS 3740 - Waterproofing of domestic wet areas, to prevent moisture damage and ensure the integrity of bathroom areas. 4. **Ceiling Height**: In alignment with NCC Building Code of Australia Volume Two, Part 3.8.2, the conversion will feature ceiling heights of at least 2.4 meters for more than two-thirds of the floor area, providing adequate headroom and ventilation. 5. **Windows and Natural Light**: Upgrading garage windows to double-glazed units to enhance thermal efficiency and sound insulation, adhering to the NCC's Part 3.8.5 requirement for natural light. The design will ensure window sizes meet at least 10% of the floor area, aligning with NCC Volume Two, Part 3.8.4 for natural lighting. 6. **Garage Door**: Considering the installation of a new garage door with integrated windows, to fulfill the NCC's natural light requirements while contemplating aesthetics and functionality. The design will ensure compliance with relevant Australian Standards for garage doors in residential applications, considering security, insulation, and operational safety.

Garage Conversion With Ensuite - Laundry Area to be added on the end

$5

Dandenong North VIC, Australia

2nd Nov 2023

Am looking at getting a quote to convert my garage into a bungalow + extend off the back to add in a ensuite. I have water and power to the garage already. The tin shed is already on a slab and looking to tear it down cut a doorway through the back of the garage and walk into an esuite *shower, basin, toilet, laundry taps*. The room for the garage does not leak or any damage, but it have been repaired before and might consider getting new colourbond put on, structurally sound though. In the photos you will see and draft i have done up, the bathroom is on the slab under the tin shed + there are two boxes on the east side of the bathroom outside that are also on the slab they are to be the water heater + split system unit aswell to be installed. Measurements are not perfect but are reasonably close to get an idea for the project as i have roughly measured up the space. Project is over $9999 i understand just need quotes to get an idea of what kind of budget is involved. Happy to arrange site visits not sure how it works with this site if you guys can see my responses.

Very happy with the qoute and information soul gave me.
