WAYS TO USE IT

One unit, many uses.

Because it is quick to install and can be moved again later, the 20 ft expandable home suits projects where a brick build would take too long or cost too much:

  • Granny flat or backyard cottage for family on your existing property
  • Airbnb or guest unit to earn rental income
  • Farm cottage or manager’s house on agricultural land
  • Staff or site accommodation for farms, lodges, schools and contractors
  • Home office or studio separate from the main house
  • A first home on your own plot while you plan a larger build

BEFORE DELIVERY

What your site needs.

Truck access

The home arrives folded on a truck, so the delivery route and the spot where it will stand need to be reachable by the truck and lifting equipment.

A level base

The unit sits on supports such as stilts, pallets or bricks on a level, well-drained spot. We can advise on, and quote for, ground preparation.

Service connection points

Wiring and plumbing are pre-installed and are connected to your electricity, water and sewage points. The closer those points are, the simpler the connection.

Local approval

Rules for additional dwellings differ by municipality and zoning. Check with your local municipality whether plans need to be submitted for your site and intended use.
