Each home is delivered packaged and wrapped on a truck. The truck needs at least 20m of turning space at the delivery site otherwise they will have no choice but to deliver on the road. The units need to be removed with a forklift or crane, please ensure that you have hired one for the day.
Each unit comes standard with Australian-compliant electrical and plumbing, an installed bathroom with a full-length shower, a toilet and handbasin or front-end loader basin, and a prepacked kitchen with stone tops that need to be put in place once the unit is expanded and floor sealed. We provide the instructions and silicone to seal the kitchen. In addition, you get upgraded 4mm SPC flooring, extra waterproofing on the roofing as well as screens on all windows and doors.
The 36sqm unit would take a few hours with 3-4men, if extras are selected these would each take a day, ie: for a unit plus roof, balcony and cladding this would take approximately 4 days.
Yes definitely! You can add an optional pitched roof from our extras to allow for the addition of a gutter system connected to a water tank and pump. You can then add solar panels and a hot water system and choose from composting or tanked sewerage system, it’s up to you.
We do not provide a stove or appliances, the best option is to purchase a freestanding stove in this unit. We suggest getting a single-door fridge if opting for the 36sqm due to space. Chat to us if you’re unsure and we can advise you.
