When you hear the term prefabricated often shortened to prefab, it refers to the type of construction process, rather than a specific style of house. Prefab houses are built under controlled conditions, usually in a factory, and are transported to their final location by truck completed with most fixtures already in place.
Prefab homes are factory built and once on site they become permanent structures just like any other house. Yes, a prefab is transported from the factory to the site, but don't confuse it with mobile homes as prefab homes are considered permanent once delivered to site, fixed to foundations and connected to utilities.
We deliver to most towns in the South Island of New Zealand. For more information regarding our transport locations please click here. If you have concerns about the accessibility of your site, you can also book an onsite consultation to have someone come check it out.
No, sorry. We construct all our houses in our purpose-designed factory, with the kitchen installed, doors hung, electrical and plumbing fitted, ready to be connected to the services on site. However, we do have a range of house designs perfect for narrow sections that would be worth checking out if your site is difficult to access.
