Who they are
Ready Homes Pty Ltd sells expandable and solid container homes from a display village on the Hume Freeway at Kalkallo, north of Melbourne. Its ABN dates from October 2020. It holds no Queensland builder licence.
What they make
Expandable container homes from about 39 to 79 square metres, a 40ft solid container home, and a Class 1A range with 2.4 metre ceilings. Frames are galvanised steel with insulated panels.
What the price covers
Prices run from $32,900 to $120,000 plus GST, ex-display. Transport, installation, permits and connections are extra.
Installing one in Queensland
The buyer or a handyman assembles the home from an instruction video; no licensed builder is named. A Class 1a dwelling in Queensland needs a licensed builder for the install.
Who it suits
Not listed in this guide.
Worth checking
Pulled from the guide: its own pages disagree on whether units can be approved, and no licensed installer is named.
Install by a licensed builder: see install builders.
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.
