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
