OK, you’ve found a section and know your budget - What next?
We have broken down the kitset home building process into FOUR easy to follow steps:

Step 1. Select a Kitset Home

Select one of our standard plans or use our plan modification service (additional design fees apply). As a general guide, your total building costs including labour and all materials will be approximately $1000-$1500 per square metre depending on your level of input finishing the home. Click here for fast Cost-To-Build™ estimates.

Note: Pricing for kitset materials will be confirmed for standard plans at time of order. Kitset materials for modified plans will be estimated initially and then accurately costed following completion of your modified plans.

Step 2. Complete Purchase Agreement & Pay Deposit

Complete the Kitset Purchase Agreement  and pay your deposit ($1500 for standard plans, additional as quoted for modified plans) and we will draw up and post your permit plans ready for council consent together with stage ONE (Exterior) and Stage TWO (Interior) order forms.

Step 3. Your Builder

Now you can take your house plans to your selected builder/s to provide detailed quotes to construct your home. Your contracted price should include:

• Lodging your building consent and fees (unless applying yourself)
• Builders Liability Insurance and Builders Guarantee (FIVE year minimum recommended)
• Any additional materials (Other than kitset materials supplied as Stage ONE and TWO deliveries)
• All building works, including electrical/plumbing subtrades
• Arranging inspections and obtaining a Code of Compliance Certificate at completion

Step 4. Construction Process 

Once your building consent is approved you can order Stage ONE (Exterior) materials – minimum of 20 working days required before delivery. This allows you or your builder time to organise subtrades, site excavations and to construct the foundations.

After Stage ONE materials have been delivered and the house is closed in and weathertight you can order Stage TWO (Interior) materials – minimum of 20 working days required before delivery.
