Do I need building consent?
It depends on the site, the council and how the home is used. We work out what is needed.
How is the home transported and placed?
By HIAB or transport truck, onto piles, screw piles or a slab.
How is water and power connected?
A 20–25mm buried water pipe, and a 32A caravan outlet or buried cable for power. Off-grid setups available.
Can I see plans, specs, and progress photos during the build?
Yes. Site meetings, consented plans, spec sheets, an action plan and weekly progress photos.
