Urban Cribs provides contemporary modular homes for primary residences and secondary dwellings across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

We offer designs for a new home on your land or a secondary dwelling on an existing property, with flexible layouts, façades and finishes to suit your site, lifestyle and budget.

Our homes combine factory-built modules with on-site construction and completion by licensed trades.

A primary home is the main residence on a property. A secondary dwelling, often called a granny flat, is an additional self-contained home on the same property, with its own kitchen, bathroom and living space.

Urban Cribs offers modular homes for both primary residences and secondary dwellings in Brisbane and South East Queensland. You can build your main home on your land or add a secondary dwelling to an existing property for family and independent living.

The suitable design, location and approval requirements depend on your property and local planning rules. Our team assesses your site and proposed use to help identify the options available.

Yes. Urban Cribs can help you add a modular secondary dwelling to an existing property in Brisbane and South East Queensland, subject to site suitability and approval requirements.

We assess:

• Available space: The proposed home’s size, position and relationship to your existing house.
• Delivery access: Access for transport vehicles and the crane required for installation.
• Site conditions: Slope, soil conditions, drainage and any easements or other constraints.
• Services: Options for connecting electricity, water and wastewater.
• Approvals: Requirements that apply to your property and proposed dwelling.

A secondary dwelling can provide extra space for family and independent living. Send us your property address, preferred home size and any available plans or photos to discuss the options. Complimentary site visits are available within South East Queensland.

The space required for an Urban Cribs modular home or secondary dwelling depends on the design, property layout and delivery conditions. There is no single minimum block size that suits every project.

Our team assesses:

• Home footprint: Enough space for the home, plus any decks, stairs and other planned structures.
• Setbacks and site constraints: Required distances from boundaries and existing buildings, along with easements and other restrictions.
• Truck access: The delivery route, entry width, turning space, slope and overhead clearance.
• Crane positioning: A suitable location for the crane, considering ground conditions, lifting distance and nearby obstacles.
• Existing features: Trees, fences, powerlines and buildings that may affect delivery or installation.

Send Urban Cribs your property address, preferred design and any available site plans or photos for an initial review. Complimentary site visits are available within South East Queensland to help assess suitability and identify potential access costs.

Yes. Urban Cribs can provide an initial suitability review for a modular home or secondary dwelling before you purchase land, including properties in Brisbane and South East Queensland.

To help us review the block, please send:

• Property address or real estate listing.
• Site plans, surveys or contour plans, if available.
• Photos showing the land, slope and access.
• Your preferred home size, including bedrooms and bathrooms.
• Your approximate budget and whether you want a primary home or secondary dwelling.

We review the available information to identify potential design options, delivery constraints and site costs. Complimentary site visits are available within South East Queensland.

An initial review provides guidance; final suitability and pricing depend on detailed site investigations, engineering and approval requirements.

Please note: Our initial block assessment provides preliminary advice based on the information available. It does not confirm building approval, final site suitability or a fixed construction price. Before purchasing, arrange your own due diligence and any necessary professional advice.

To help Urban Cribs recommend suitable modular home designs and indicative pricing, please include:

• Property address: Or the proposed location if you haven’t purchased land.
• Intended use: A primary home or a secondary dwelling on an existing property.
• Home requirements: Preferred bedrooms, bathrooms and any accessibility needs.
• Approximate budget: Including delivery, installation and site works.
• Site photos: Showing the land, slope, entry and any existing buildings.
• Available documentation: Surveys, contour plans, site plans or existing approvals.
• Preferred timeframe: When you would like to proceed.

You don’t need every detail to get started. Send what you have, and our team will explain the next steps.

Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings combine factory-built modules with on-site construction, providing contemporary housing options across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

The modules are manufactured and fitted out in a controlled factory environment. Foundations, delivery, module installation, service connections and final completion works are carried out on site by licensed Australian trades.

This construction method can offer:

• Shorter on-site construction time.
• Consistent quality control during manufacturing.
• Less disruption to your property.
• Greater cost certainty once the design and site requirements are confirmed.

The same approach can be used for a primary residence or a secondary dwelling, with suitability assessed for your site and project.

Urban Cribs’ elevated modular homes can reduce site preparation costs on suitable blocks across Brisbane and South East Queensland. Raised foundation systems allow the home to follow the natural slope of the land, potentially reducing the need for:

• Extensive excavation and earthworks.
• Retaining walls.
• Levelling the site to create a building platform.

This approach can suit both primary homes and secondary dwellings, depending on the property.

Actual site and foundation costs depend on soil conditions, slope, access and engineering requirements. We assess these factors during Site Discovery to provide project-specific pricing and identify any potential savings.

Yes. Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings can suit sloping blocks in South East Queensland, subject to site assessment. Our elevated foundation systems allow homes to accommodate the natural slope, potentially reducing excavation and retaining walls.

Standard allowances include up to 300 mm of ground-level fall across the module footprint. Steeper sites may require additional engineering, foundation work or site preparation, which can affect pricing.

During Site Discovery, we assess your block’s slope, soil conditions and delivery access to confirm suitability and identify any additional costs.

Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings typically take 4–6 months to turnkey completion once approvals are in place and manufacturing has commenced. This timeframe applies to projects in Brisbane and South East Queensland and varies depending on design complexity, site conditions, selected finishes and production and transport schedules.

The timeframe covers factory manufacturing, shipping, delivery, installation and final on-site completion works. Initial site assessment, design and obtaining approvals occur before this period and add to the total time from enquiry to handover.

Factory production and suitable site preparation works can overlap to help streamline the programme. We provide a project-specific estimated timeframe once your design and site requirements are confirmed.

Approval requirements for modular homes and secondary dwellings in Brisbane and South East Queensland depend on the property, local council requirements and proposed use of the home.

Your project may require building approval, planning approval and plumbing and drainage approvals. Requirements differ between a primary residence and a secondary dwelling, and modular construction does not remove the need for applicable approvals.

During Site Discovery, Urban Cribs reviews your proposed home and site, helps identify the approvals required and guides you through the next steps.

Urban Cribs is 100% Australian owned and managed. Our modular homes and secondary dwellings combine offshore manufacturing with on-site installation and completion by local trades in Australia.

Factory manufacturing allows us to source materials efficiently, maintain consistent quality control and reduce material waste. It also enables manufacturing and suitable site preparation works to occur in parallel.

For projects in Brisbane and South East Queensland, KERDIC manages on-site construction, installation and completion. Each home is delivered to meet the applicable Australian building codes, standards and site-specific approval requirements.

Yes. Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings are designed for energy efficiency and comfortable living in Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Features include:

• High-performance insulation to reduce heat transfer.
• Sarking and sealing systems to help limit unwanted air leakage.
• Double-glazed windows and doors to support indoor temperature control.

These features can reduce reliance on heating and cooling. Actual energy use depends on the home’s design, orientation, shading and how it is used.

Solar panels, battery storage and other energy solutions can also be considered for your project, subject to suitability and additional cost.

Our range of proven home designs provides a starting point. Discuss your preferred layout, façade and finishes with our team so we can explore options to suit your site, lifestyle and budget.

Fully custom designs may also be considered, depending on design complexity, site conditions and current production capacity. Customisation can affect pricing and extend the project timeframe.

Discuss your requirements early so we can confirm what is achievable before you proceed.

Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings have a standard internal ceiling height of 2.4 metres, measured from the finished floor to the finished ceiling.

Urban Cribs manages modular home and secondary dwelling projects through five stages:

1. Site Discovery: We assess your property, delivery access and site requirements. For properties in South East Queensland, our team offers a complimentary site visit.

2. Contract and approvals: Confirm the design, inclusions, pricing and required approvals.
3. Site works and procurement: Prepare the site and arrange materials.
4. Factory production: Manufacture and fit out your home’s modules.
5. Delivery, installation and completion: Transport the modules to your property, position them and complete the contracted on-site works.

What does modular home installation include?

Our team arranges module delivery and the cranes required to position your home. Installation and completion works include plumbing and electrical service connections, plus any decks and additional items specified in your contract.

In selected build regions across Brisbane and South East Queensland, on-site works are carried out by KERDIC, QBCC Licence No. 22903.

Installation and on-site completion typically take 1–6 weeks, depending on the design, site conditions and contracted works. This is a separate stage from factory production and shipping, rather than the total project timeframe.

Yes. Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings can be upgraded beyond BAL-12.5 to BAL-29 or BAL-40, subject to the required design and specifications for your site.

BAL stands for Bushfire Attack Level. Higher BAL requirements may involve changes to materials, glazing and construction details, which add to the project cost.

Discuss your site’s bushfire requirements with our team before production so the necessary upgrades can be included in your design and pricing.

Yes. Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings are built with steel frames and no structural timber, making the structural frame resistant to termite attack.

Regular termite inspections remain important, as termites can affect other materials within and around the home. Owners should check for termite activity or engage a qualified professional, and maintain any termite management measures specified for their property.

Yes. Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings can be designed for some flood-prone sites in Brisbane and South East Queensland, subject to site assessment, engineering and approval requirements.

Our elevated foundation systems can raise the home’s floor level to suit the assessed flood requirements. Depending on the site, an open foundation design may also help accommodate water flow beneath the home.

Suitability depends on flood levels, water depth and velocity, ground conditions and safe access. During Site Discovery, we review these constraints to identify the design requirements and any additional costs.

Yes. Urban Cribs offers accessible and adaptable design options for modular homes and secondary dwellings in Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Depending on your needs and site, options may include step-free access, wider doorways, more circulation space and bathroom layouts designed for easier movement.

Each home is designed to meet the applicable Australian building requirements, including relevant livable housing provisions. Additional wheelchair accessibility features can be considered to suit individual needs.

Discuss your requirements early so we can confirm the appropriate layout, access arrangements and any additional costs. Standard livable housing features do not automatically provide full wheelchair accessibility.

Yes. All Urban Cribs modular homes and secondary dwellings include Rockwool insulation batts in the walls and ceiling, along with double-glazed windows.

These features help reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. They can also reduce reliance on heating and cooling, depending on your climate, home orientation and how the home is used.
