Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

Things people most often ask before placing a 1 bedroom order. See the full FAQ →

Do I need building consent?

Most of our portable homes are designed to be relocatable, but consent requirements depend on the site, the local council, and how the home will be used. We help you figure out exactly what’s needed.

How is the home transported and placed?

We use a HIAB or transport truck to deliver and set the home on your prepared site. We work with you ahead of time to confirm site access and the foundation type — piles, screw piles, or a slab.

How is water and power connected?

Standard connections are a 20–25mm buried water pipe and a 32A caravan outlet or a buried cable for power. We can advise on off-grid setups if your site doesn’t have services.

Can I see plans, specs, and progress photos during the build?

Yes — every client gets site meetings, consented plans, spec sheets, an action plan, and weekly progress photos through the build. You’ll always know where things are at.
