Hi folks,
We're looking to build a hangar at a small airstrip in regional WA - small scale affair, to house 3-4 lighties. Not sure how to go about it. Have talked to a few of the larger national shed builders and so far some different options have cropped up - 1) Turnkey (most exorbitant!) 2) Buy the shed and plonk it on yourself (or hire some local tradies - if they're not working up in the mines) Would be ok if it was a straightforward tin shed but council is "encouraging" us to include toilet facilities in the hangar, with inherent complications like plumbing septics, rainwater tanks etc.
Option 2) looks attractive but smacks of owner-building - is it allowed on a "commercial" project like this?
I suppose option 3 is the compromise - buy the shed and get a local builder to manage the project.
Another Q - Slab thickness - normal 10mm or more?
Anyone done this before? Advice appreciated!
