What are Modular homes?

Modular homes, also known as prefabricated homes or kit homes, just like a super-sized ikea kit, offer convenience, affordability, and efficiency. The components or ‘Panels’ that make our modular homes are designed and manufactured in a factory setting, ensuring minimal waste, attention to detail and quality control. The modules, finishes, fixtures and fittings are then securely packed in a container and shipped to the desired location, where they are able to be quickly and efficiently assembled on-site. This process simplifies the construction process and significantly reduces time on site compared with traditional building methods

Why a Modular home?

The primary advantages of modular homes are their rapid construction and cost-effectiveness. By streamlining production and minimizing on-site labour, we can offer pre finished building kits at a lower price point, without compromising quality. Modular homes are able to cater to a wide range of applications, from single granny flats to entire towns. Our capacity and logistics network make Everyday kits ideal for various markets, including residential customers, government projects, and specialised sectors such as aged care, disability accommodation, and mining camps. This versatility makes our building kits a practical and attractive option for Australians seeking modern affordable construction solutions.

FAQ's

No. Heating and cooling options are provided on an individual basis to suit your site and personal requirements. We’ll work with you to determine the most suitable energy solution for your project.
Yes, power points for appliances are provided (e.g. for washer, dryer, fridge, convection microwave). Appliances are not included.
If you have a remote site, not on town sewerage, you will likely require a septic tank. In this case, you will need to commission an LCA (Land Capability Assessment) and find out your local council requirements. We recommend engaging a local plumber to help you through this process.
Yes, solar panels can be fitted to your new home. They are a fantastic way of reducing your footprint and fossil fuel consumption, not to mention the long-term power bill savings.
Waterproofing, Plumbing fixtures, Steel structure, Hardware, Cladding, Roof sheeting, Aluminium frames and glazing - 7 years. Electrical & light fittings, Joinery Hardware and Floor finishes - 2 years. We provide a help-line service to assist during the assembly process and offer a full warranty claim management service.
Small lots (<450m2 or <600m2 for rear lots) may have state or council-specific provisions. In some cases, a development application may be required.
Parking requirements depend on local council regulations. Additional parking may not be necessary for lots with two existing spaces.
Yes, insurance will need to be obtained by the licensed builder or the owner builder. Costs and application process vary from state to state.
• Certification package • Application fees • Road freight from nearest Port of Entry to site • Site prep / earth works • Footing scheme (16 stumps) • Building assembly • Connection of basic services – power / water / sewage
Request a preliminary desktop assessment – this process assesses eligibility for a 'fast-track' planning self-assessment pathway. If eligible, there will be no requirement to submit a Development Application which can be costly and ultimately unsuccessful. If not eligible, the project can still proceed but will require D.A. This service is offered by our partners VTAS.
As an investment / to rent out / for a business – does that complicate the approvals process?

Not really, it simply means that the entire scope of the project needs to be discussed so that a tailored services quote can be provided by our partners at VTAS based on the specifics. A Desktop Assessment is not suitable in these circumstances.
Structure: Steel beams with lightweight steel floor joists. Walls: Lightweight steel frames with ‘hot rolled’ steel structural columns. Roof: Lightweight steel framing.

Typically, the assembly process about 2 weeks for a team of 3-5 builders and requires a Franna crane or similar. This rapid assembly process is a key benefit of The Lodge’s design.
Our shipping containers are brand new, single voyage units. They can be re-purposed and integrated into your overall site plan, be quickly deployed as extra storage space if you prefer or simply sold to offset some project costs.
Your site must be levelled and cleared of obstructions. Footings or foundations should be prepared by a licensed builder based on our specifications.
Yes, because The Lodge is classified as a Class 1a dwelling under the National Construction Code (NCC), the construction must be overseen by a professional builder properly licensed in your local jurisdiction. That includes properly qualified Owner / Builders. Additionally, electrical and plumbing work must be carried out by licensed tradespeople.
The Lodge is constructed from durable, high quality materials, and as with any house, the usual levels of routine maintenance will be required.
Sure, you can (post-delivery) – but we do not offer any customisation to our standard plans. You would need to speak to a builder, architect and certifier regarding future expansion or modification of plans.
No, the decks we show in our collateral are for display and inspiration only. Talk to your chosen builder about requirements for this and any other post-delivery customisations.
The VTAS team will work with you throughout the building process, liaising with partner Certifiers, Engineers and service providers as required. We will supply all necessary documentation to support certification and building approval to get your Certificate of Occupancy issued. We remove the stress and simplify the process so you can focus on other priorities.
You can, but in that case, once you commence your own building and certification process, you will be ineligible to subsequently seek to access the service. Further, without using the Certification package we offer no guarantee, explicit or implied that the building will be successfully certified Class 1a or cyclone rated (CAT3).
While kit homes can be modified by a licensed builder, we cannot guarantee a modified kit will achieve certification or council approval. If you are seeking a custom solution, we recommend you speak to your builder & certifier before making any changes.
Yes and we DO NOT require concrete slabs! Our range of engineered footing systems ensures that sloping sites can be easily accommodated. Note: footing costs are not included in product pricing and may incur additional cost depending upon site specifics.
