Curious about what’s included in our base pricing? Spoiler alert: it’s not a mystery box. Jump onto our Pricing & Inclusions page and you’ll see the whole lot spelled out—plain, simple, no smoke, no mirrors.
Want more bells and whistles? We’ve got a menu of extras and upgrades too. Go wild—VJ panels, wardrobes, cavity doors… the works.
And here’s the juicy bit: we’re basically unicorns in the portable building world because we actually show you our prices online. No “call us for a quote,” no guessing games. You’ll know exactly how much you’re up for before you even pick up the phone. Groundbreaking, right?

We recommend that you contact a town planner in your area and let them know you’re interested in possibly installing a secondary dwelling or Granny Flat on to your property. They will be able to help you out by letting you know whether it would be possible, as well what sized building would be possible to have on your property. They can also help you with submitting a DA with your council to get one of our buildings approved for your property.

Now, about councils… we get it. They’re like that one mate who insists on making everything way harder than it needs to be. But don’t stress — we’ve got certifiers and builders on speed dial who know how to charm, wrangle, and strong-arm their way through the council maze. While you’re sipping a cuppa, they’ll be handling the red tape, the rubber stamps, and the inevitable “just one more form.”
Basically, we build, they deal with the circus, and you get your new home without the headache.
The builders we mentioned? He’s your go-to guy. Not only will he wrangle the council approvals (so you don’t have to drown in paperwork), but he’ll also handle everything to do with installation. Think booking the tradies (plumbers, sparkies, the whole crew), sorting the stumps, and even building the stairs up to your new home. Basically, he’s got it covered—so you can just kick back and plan your housewarming.
We don’t actually own trucks (imagine the traffic jams if we did 😅), so we can’t give you a hard number on transport. The cost really depends on how far your property is from our yard in Upper Caboolture, since trucking companies charge by the kilometre.
Best bet? Give a couple of them a call for a quote. We can even flick you the details of the company we use all the time so you’re not starting from scratch.
Oh, and just so you know—transport isn’t included in the price of the building. That bit’s separate and paid to the trucking company directly.
All our buildings play by the rules — they’re built to tick every box in the National Construction Code. We’re not cowboys, promise.
Short answer? Yep. Long answer? Still yep. Every time the NCC decides to throw a curveball and change the construction code (because apparently, they get bored), we’re straight onto it. We buddy up with our building certifier to make sure we’re always compliant—so your home passes with flying colours while you skip the paperwork-induced headaches.
All our buildings are brand-new, built to order, and come with a fat stack of official forms and certificates. Consider it the “no dodgy business here” starter pack.
Here’s what you’ll get (with a little plain-English translation):
  • Form 15 for Skids and Base – proof your home won’t slide off into the sunset.
  • Form 15 + Engineering for Steel Framing – yes, it’s actually engineered, not just “she’ll be right.”
  • Form 12 for Framing Inspection – because even the bones of your home need a tick of approval.
  • Form 15 for Windows & Sliding Doors – certified for more than just good looks.
  • Form 15 + Energy Efficiency Report – keeps your power bills from running wild.
  • Form 15 for Internal Waterproofing – no wet socks, guaranteed.
  • Form 18A for Shower Plumbing Rough-in – your morning shower won’t be a trickle.
  • Form 15 for Wall & Ceiling Insulation – snug in winter, cool in summer, like it should be.
  • Form 15 for Shower Screen Glass – no flimsy glass disasters here.
  • Form 15 for Smoke Alarm Installation & Testing – keeps you safe, and the toast-burning drama to a minimum.
  • Form 15 for Guttering & Downpipes – rain goes where it’s supposed to (not down your neck).
  • Form 15 for Condensation Management Systems – fancy words for “your bathroom won’t feel like a rainforest.”
  • Form 15 for Pliable Membrane – sounds boring, but it’s what keeps the water out.
  • Electrical Safety & Testing Certificate – the all-clear that your house won’t zap you.
  • Gas Installation Certificate – only if you’ve gone full MasterChef and added the gas cooker.
Basically, if it needs certifying, testing, or ticking off, we’ve already got the paperwork ready for you.
All you need to worry about is where the couch goes (and maybe what’s for dinner).
*COUNCIL GUARANTEE – If you do not get council approval we will REFUND you deposit! (minus our admin fee)
