FAQ

Yes, we have our “Zed” design on display at our office located in Darra, Brisbane. You can view more information on our display homes here

To keep our Cribs affordable, we take advantage of the economies of scale that come from creating cribs to consistent specifications. Our production line is streamlined by our ability to build several homes at any given time. 

One-off designs require new research and development, extensive internal and external plans, engineering certificates, and smaller amounts of unique materials – all of which increase the price and slow down the manufacturing process. 

For these reasons, we recommend using the pre-designed floor plans listed on our website. If you are looking for something a little different, send us an enquiry, as we do have a number of past designs that aren’t listed on our website.

Truly indestructible

BAL12.5 fire rated, cyclone + earthquake resistant, termite proof, easy to raise above flood levels.

Efficiency

Have a move in ready home is only 4 months, with minimal site works required

Affordability

60% cheaper than standard construction homes

Quality

NCC compliant, high-quality materials, constructed by certified trades

Minimal environmental impact

Our homes use fewer materials and produce less waste than standard construction, meaning that there is less embodied energy in each home. Smaller homes also result in cheaper operating fees, and less impact on the environment.

Our Cribs come pre-assembled and just need to be installed on your site. Typically, kit homes are materials supplied with a plan which you will still need to assemble and fit out.

Each of our Cribs is assembled from a steel frame with no structural timber in the construction, which makes them termite resistant. (NOTE: Owners must do their own inspections or engage a professional to check for breaches) 

Our ‘Standard’ external cladding is created from high-quality fibre cement sheeting or planking, design specific.

No – but like all homes, your Crib should be allowed to ‘breathe’, through ventilation or mechanical extractors.

Condensation is caused when water vapour comes into contact with cold surfaces and condenses to form dampness or water droplets. Many things can contribute to the amount of water vapour in a home. It can be produced by appliances such as clothes dryers, and even by people breathing. Condensation can be a problem in any building, particularly in modern buildings that are built to minimise energy wastage so are better insulated and more airtight. 

The level of humidity in your Crib will also depend on the climate. Warm air holds more water vapour than cool air, so condensation is more common in cooler climates when homes are internally heated. If you are putting your home in a cool climate you may need to install a de-humidifier, reverse cycle air-conditioner, or may require a larger energy recovery system.

Absolutely, our team have the expertise to build the cribs to BAL-29 and BAL-40 if required. However, this will be an added cost and must be discussed with our team prior to production. 

Yes, all our Cribs are insulated, which may reduce the need for heating and cooling depending on the climate you live in. We use Rockwool batts in the walls and ceiling. All the windows are double glazed, which minimises heat loss and transfer.

Our homes are produced in our Australian-owned factory in Southern China. Our own Australian tradespeople work alongside our factory staff, managing projects that are shipped all over the world.

Yes, we encourage all modular home installation to use stump footings to allow breathable space underneath the units. This also makes maintenance easier as connections are typically under the unit.

To keep our homes affordable, 2.4m is the standard ceiling height.
