Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own plans?
Yes, you can use your own plans. If you do not have plans, then we encourage that you take advantage of our FREE aligning process, where we will work with you to custom design a home specifically for your needs and within your budgetary realms. This enables you to use your own design ideas and take the best from our standard designs. Custom designing is a far more cost-effective method way of building as the home will be specific to the block of land, your needs and the overall monetary outlay.
What is included in the kit?
A full inclusions list can be found here. In general, the kit includes all materials required for lockup but does not include any on-site labour (construction, electrical and plumbing, surveys or site clearing), transport and delivery charges or PC items.
Do you deliver outside of Australia?

Can my home be built on posts or a concrete slab?
Yes, all home can be designed for either option. Our design team can advise on both options and how they would work for your specific design and block of land.
Steel vs Timber?
We use quality BLUESCOPE steel frames in our kits for a number of reasons. It's borer and termite proof, it’s lightweight, extremely strong, and it won’t shrink, twist or warp like a conventional timber frame. Steel frames allow you to have more design freedom and choice with your build, as they allow us to produce designs that would otherwise be impossible with other materials, such as timber.

How strong is your system?
All our buildings are designed and then certified for compliance by qualified engineers that will ensure your home meets with the required local standards.
When do I have to start paying money?
We take a slightly different approach, and rather than taking money up front, we prefer to run you through an aligning process first to see if your project is going to work on paper. Here we create a concept plan and give you insight to costs.
