- Good for: Moveable tiny homes on a trailer
- Good for: Built homes ready to go now
Alphaline designs and builds compact homes at its factory and head office in Brendale, north of Brisbane. The range runs from moveable homes built on trailers to permanent modular homes and granny flats, so it suits people after a tiny home, a backyard studio, a rental cabin, a downsizer home or a site that may need the home to move later. It also sells to commercial and government clients and offers DIY kits. Alphaline says it was founded in Queensland in 1988, starting with lower-cost movable homes, and describes itself as family founded. A handy feature for buyers is its ready-to-go stock: completed homes are listed for sale, some finished as Class 1a dwellings, which can shorten the wait. It can deliver and install, or guide owners who want to install themselves, and it works across Australia. Factory and studio visits are by appointment, as no display homes are kept on site.

Who they are
Alphaline builds compact homes at a factory in Brendale, north of Brisbane, and says it was founded in Queensland in 1988. It sells moveable tiny homes on trailers, permanent modular homes and granny flats, and works for commercial and government clients. Visits are by appointment and no display homes are kept on site.
What they make
Moveable homes from 6 m x 2.4 m up to two-trailer designs, and permanent homes such as the Fraser (9.5 m x 3 m, one bedroom) and the Dalby (14 m x 7.4 m, three bedrooms, two bathrooms). Completed stock homes are listed for sale on its site, some finished as Class 1A. Frame and cladding are not stated.
What the price covers
There is no price list per model. The site gives range averages of $95k, $135k and $195k, and stock homes from $109,000 to $190,000, several ex GST. What those prices include is not published; delivery is arranged and quoted per site.
Installing one in Queensland
Alphaline says installation can be done by its own team or guided for owners who install themselves. A permanent home on a Queensland block needs a QBCC-licensed builder, and the licensee at its factory address shows no active licence classes. The site does not name another licensed builder.
Who it suits
Buyers after a moveable tiny home on a trailer, where a builder licence is not needed, once the points below are settled in writing.
Worth checking
Alphaline's Brendale company shows no active QBCC licence classes, so a permanent home needs a licensed builder for the footings and install. Get that builder named in the contract.

No maker pays to be listed or ranked, and every list is sorted by price, never by who pays. This isn't every maker in the market yet: missing one? Say which. Prices and sizes are the makers' own, read from their websites on the date shown, and makers change them: check with the maker before you buy. Installed prices are estimates for an owner builder, inc GST, from the install cost calculator; a licensed builder adds about $10,000. Is a listing yours, or wrong? Claim it, fix it or have it taken down.
