House Raising & Restumping in Brisbane

Many of the houses that were built on stumps look big from the outside, but their floor plans didn’t make the best use of the space under the roof. Usually they only have one bathroom, and a lot of them are only two bedroom houses.

When the house is raised to the legal height for living underneath, you are getting double the space without having to spend a lot of money on an extension. Today’s families need this extra space. Every child wants their own room, unlike families in the past who had one bedroom for the children and one for themselves.

In those days, people didn’t have a lot of personal possessions. Children just had a couple of toys and some basic clothing. Sharing a room with siblings was cramped but mostly they fitted everything in because they didn’t have much.

Nowadays children have a toy box that is overflowing, clothing and shoes that fill a cupboard, they need a desk for school work and their computer, and their own bed. This was unheard of in previous generations, where siblings often shared one bed.
