Second homes, priced installed on your block
523 homes from 76 makers. Add your address and every price becomes what it costs on your block, and anything your council won't allow drops out.
Modular, kit, prefab, expander? What's the difference
- Modular home
- Built in a factory as finished modules, trucked in and craned onto footings. Usually sold as Class 1a, a house you can live in.
- Kit home
- The frame, roof and cladding delivered flat-packed. A builder or an owner builder puts it up and fits it out on site.
- Prefab
- Any home built mostly off site. Modular homes and kits are both prefab.
- Tiny home on wheels
- Built on a registered trailer. Treated like a caravan, not a house: council local laws decide how long you can live in one.
- Expander
- A container-style unit whose sides fold out on site. Fast and low cost, but not sold as Class 1a.
- Container home
- Built from a shipping container. Can be Class 1a if it's engineered and certified as a house; ask for the papers.
- Class 1a
- The building class for a house under the National Construction Code. It's what a certifier has to sign off before anyone lives in a granny flat.
- Site building
- Dongas, site offices and studios. Not for living in.
