Rain, hail or shine the weather is a constant influence on how we live and work on the land. This fact becomes even more apparent when we experience extreme weather such as the devastating floods of recent weeks in NSW, or the threat of bushfires that place us all on high alert during our long hot Australian summers. Builtsmart’s General Manager, Nicholas Reynolds said “We are keen to assist rural areas hit by the recent devastating floods and believe we have an immediate and permanent solution to replacing housing and farm buildings in these areas to get people back on their properties and working on reviving their agribusiness.” Builtsmart modular homes provides a housing construction solution that is unaffected by weather extremes, bringing advantages to customers in both time and cost saving when constructing residential dwellings and farm buildings in NSW rural and remote areas. “Modular construction removes the construction delays and mounting holding costs associated with bad weather conditions. In fact, we can deliver a standard home on site to most areas of NSW within 30 days of construction approval,” Mr Reynolds said. Precision manufactured construction of all Builtsmart modular homes is carried out undercover in their factory facility at Lisarow on the NSW Central Coast. Once the home is completed to lock-up stage it is transported to site by either road transport or ferry.  “This form of construction also removes the stress of trying to find builders who are willing to construct homes and other buildings in rural and remote areas of the state as we build the home in our factory and therefore on site construction is minimal and carried out by our team of on-site specialists,” Mr Reynolds said. Another advantage of modular construction is that as the homes are built on a steel chassis and mounted on a peer system, therefore they can be transported to a specific site then added to and/or relocated to another site at a later stage, if necessary. Mr Reynolds said “This was another significant advantage when building in flood and bushfire prone areas where relocation of a home would be an ideal preventative measure when the threat of extreme weather would otherwise mean evacuating your home and leaving it to be destroyed by the elements.” ….ENDS
