Have you ever wondered how our prefabricated granny flats are built on site in just a few days? We held a live 1-day building event for you to see our speedy building system live in action!
We were building our flagship granny flat, the stylish and versatile Forestmist – and we were hosting a live 1-day event where people could watch the build unfold before their eyes!
For an owner-builder, licensed builder, architect, journalist or anyone considering building a Scandi Cabin, the live build was a great opportunity to learn about the steps and processes involved in the construction of our granny flats and to see how fast they are built firsthand. If you missed the event, read on, there is a photographic and video recap of the day.
