After completing the design phase, documentation, and receiving an approved Building Permit, we estimate a 6-18 week build time to construct your PLACEit Home at our manufacturing facility, followed by on-site works to install your place.
For custom designs, the build time may vary depending on factors such as size and finish. We strive to provide you with a tailored and efficient construction experience.
PLACEit Homes are built to trailerable dimensions, so once we have completed works at our manufacturing facility, we place your new home on the back of a truck and transport it to site for installation.
We will work with you early on in the project to determine if we can deliver via truck as a standard jack unload or if we will require a crane.
There will need to be clear site access for a truck to be able to enter the property. Things to consider are low-hanging electrical wires, trees & driveway access.
When two or more modules are being delivered a crane will be required.
A Prebuilt home is a fully assembled and turn-key solution to buying a home, we look after all the planning, construction, transport, site works and project management.
Alternatively, for a kit home, we will provide you with plans, materials and assembly guides for you to be able to build a home. This is a great option for owner-builders who want flexibility with internal fixtures and finishes.
Yes we can install onto most sites, as our footing are adjustable.
Starting prices for each PLACEit Home can be found on the individual page and in our brochure.
When we find out a few more details like site location, orientation & planning requirements we can provide you with a comprehensive quote.
