- Good for: Owner builders wanting a steel frame kit
- Good for: Comparing hundreds of plans with kit prices shown
Imagine Kit Homes supplies steel frame kit homes from its base at Loganholme, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, for owner builders and builders who want to manage their own construction. The company says it was founded in Brisbane in 2008, began delivering Australia-wide in 2012 and has since shipped kits overseas as well. Its website lists more than 800 plans, from an 18 square metre studio to large double-storey family homes, and each plan page shows a starting kit price including GST. Frames are roll-formed from BlueScope TRUECORE steel, with Hardiflex or Blue Board cladding and Colorbond roofing in the standard kit. The kit covers materials only, so labour, the slab and delivery outside Brisbane metro areas are extra. Plans can be changed, buyers can bring their own drawings, and the team assists with council approval paperwork and offers owner builder guides. There is no display home, but some finished homes can be viewed from the street.

Who they are
Imagine Kit Homes is a Brisbane kit home supplier founded in 2008, with its head office at Loganholme. It says it has delivered more than 2,000 homes in Australia and overseas, and it sells mainly to owner builders.
What they make
Steel-framed kit homes using BlueScope TRUECORE steel, with Hardiflex or Blue Board cladding as standard. The site lists hundreds of plans, from small one-bedroom homes to large family houses, and cyclone-rated versions at extra cost.
What the price covers
Kit prices on its plans run from about $39,700 to over $200,000, including GST. That buys materials only: labour, slab or footings, insulation batts, painting and delivery outside Brisbane metro are extra.
Installing one in Queensland
Imagine supplies the kit; it does not build it. You build as an owner builder (QBCC permit needed for work over $11,000) or hire a licensed builder. You also need building approval, a slab or footings, and licensed plumbing and electrical work.
Who it suits
Hands-on owner builders who want a low entry price and are ready to manage trades, approvals and the build themselves.
Worth checking
No warranty term is published for the kit; ask what covers the frame and components. The kit price is a fraction of the finished cost, so budget for labour, slab, connections and finishes.
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?
