About Urban Cribs

Urban Cribs specialises in modular homes and secondary dwellings in Brisbane and South East Queensland, including Ipswich, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Our contemporary home designs combine thoughtful layouts, energy-efficient features and flexible façade and finish options to suit your land, lifestyle and budget.

By combining factory-built modules with on-site installation and completion by licensed Queensland builder KERDIC, we can reduce on-site construction time and disruption. Whether you’re building a new home or adding a secondary dwelling to your existing property, our team helps you explore suitable designs and confirm site requirements, inclusions and pricing.

Who We Are

Based in Brisbane, Urban Cribs is a family-driven team specialising in contemporary modular homes and secondary dwellings across South East Queensland. We combine thoughtful design, durable materials and energy-efficient features to create homes suited to your land and the way you live, with personalised support from initial enquiry through to completion.

What Makes Us Different

  • Efficient modular construction: Factory-built homes with professional on-site installation for consistent quality and less time on your property.
  • Designed for Queensland conditions: Durable materials and energy-efficient features, with designs tailored to your site and climate.
  • Clear, upfront pricing: Inclusions, site requirements and optional upgrades confirmed before contract.

Efficient Modular Construction, Built to Last

Our modular homes combine precision factory construction with on-site installation and completion by experienced local trades. This approach supports consistent quality, reduces on-site construction time and provides clearer costs once your design and site requirements are confirmed.

Modular Homes Designed for Your Land

Our modular homes are designed to suit your block’s slope, access and orientation. On suitable sites, elevated foundations can reduce excavation, earthworks and retaining walls, with site assessment and engineering guiding the best approach for your property.

Energy-Efficient Modular Homes

Urban Cribs homes combine quality insulation, double-glazed windows and thoughtful design to support year-round comfort in Queensland. These features help reduce heat transfer and reliance on heating and cooling, with orientation and shading further supporting energy efficiency.

WHY CHOOSE URBAN CRIBS?

✔ Minimal Site & Foundation Costs

Elevated, site-responsive design dramatically reduces excavation, foundation upgrades, and slope costs — often less than half those of traditional builders.

✔ Complete, Turnkey Homes

No upgrades. No surprises. Premium kitchens, custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, lighting, ceiling fans, and floor coverings are included as standard.

✔ Comfortable & Energy Efficient

Well-insulated building envelopes, Rockwool insulation, and double-glazed toughened glass deliver year-round comfort, reduced noise, and lower energy costs.

✔ Smarter Construction, Built to Last

Heavy-duty structural steel framing, lightweight steel wall systems, and durable external finishes designed for longevity, resilience, and low maintenance.

✔ Sloping Blocks Welcome

Where project builders commonly add $10,000–$15,000 in slope variations, Urban Cribs homes typically incur around one-third of those costs.

✔ Built for Harsh Australian Conditions

Low BAL rating as standard, flood-aware elevated design, N3 wind-rated and seismic-rated construction, plus a dual-layer sealed roofing system with hardened steel backup protection.

✔ Efficient Construction, Clear Timeframes

Factory production and suitable site preparation can run alongside each other, reducing on-site construction time. We confirm your project’s estimated delivery schedule and pricing once the design, approvals and site requirements are established.

✔ Designed to Work With the Land

Concrete less foundation systems and elevated design minimise site disruption, reduce retaining walls, and preserve the natural contours of your block.
