Frequently Asked Questions
General
Our homes come with a code of compliance (building consent) for the building. Depending on the size of the building, and whether it is connected to plumbing, you may need building consent to land the building on your site. We will help you to gather the necessary paperwork and our architect will organise this consent for you.
Your build will take 6 weeks to complete, depending on the size.
There are always new homes being built in our workshop that you are welcome to view. Due to our quick build process the models and floorplans available to view change almost weekly. Contact us to book an appointment.
Our buildings come ready to be connected to your onsite services. Your site work, including your plumbing, electrical and decking/landscaping will need to be completed by you. However, we have contacts around the country that may be able to help.
Our builds are completed in our purpose-built factory located in Ngāruawāhia, just outside of Hamilton. You are welcome to visit us by appointment—just use the contact page here to get in touch.
Our buildings can be transported most places and are craned onto site. Our specialist transport partners will complete a site visit to ensure delivery is possible, provide a more accurate cost, and to check whether any work is required to allow delivery (e.g. tree or fence removal).
Design

Yes, the longest we will build is 12 metres and the widest we build is 4.8 metres. We can create custom-build plans based on your needs, many of our customers have combined two or more units on-site to gain a larger footprint. Add a connecting deck or patio and enjoy the indoor-outdoor flow.
