Make a Shack Map.
A Shack Map is the rough plan of a shack — zones, orientation, the shape of the thing — before anyone draws anything properly.
Drag the modules around and see how the system fits together. Free, about ten minutes, nothing to fill in and nothing saved. It’s a sketchpad, not a form.
Every mi shack starts this way — a rough Shack Map, then the site test, then the real due diligence. Nothing here is binding; it’s just the fastest way to see whether the idea in your head fits the block you have.
WHAT YOUR SHACK MAP TELLS YOU.
A sketch, and a useful one — it’s the same thinking we start a real project with. What it can’t tell you is whether your site will carry it.
Next, if you have a site
Eight minutes of questions about your block. You get a readiness score across documents, planning, levels, bushfire and services, and a straight answer on whether to proceed. Worth running a planning enquiry on PlanWA first — zoning and overlays are the two things that most often change the answer.
Free, about eight minutes.
Next, if you’re curious
The modules you just moved around are MIDS — the Modular Integrated Design System behind every mi shack. Four stages: Map it, Zone it, Style it, Pimp it.
THREE STEPS. MAKE A SHACK MAP, THEN TEST IT.
You’ve just done step one.
01 / Make it
Sketch a rough Shack Map yourself — zones, orientation, the shape of the thing. Free, about ten minutes, nothing to fill in.
02 / Test it
Eight minutes of questions about your site. You get a readiness score across documents, planning, levels, bushfire and services, and a straight answer on whether to proceed.
03 / Map it
We do the due diligence properly — title, planning, bushfire, services, levels and a real cost range. $3,600 + GST.
