The key driver for costs of a kennel building is size
Summary
Kennel
build
Increase in minimum run area size for >20kg dog leads to a significant increase in build cost for the kennel units
New multiple occupancy rules require significantly larger kennels for bigger dogs than previous resulting in an increase in build costs
Uncertainty of application/enforcement of the guidelines leads to difficulty in design
In our opinion a pragmatic approach to building control is best practice however this will lead to additional build costs
A full HVAC system would be the best approach to maintaining a suitable environment within the kennels however this would add significantly to the build costs
