There is commercial grade carpet in the prefab units, and in the wet areas (kitchen and bathroom) industrial strength vinyl floor covering. If you want to make changes please let us know and we can discuss the options available. There is the option to have vinyl throughout.

As a part of the purchasing process, you will choose your exterior paint and joinery colour combination, benchtop, vinyl and carpet style.

The bathroom comes with a 900 x 900mm shower unit. There is a standard flush toilet (with macerator pump attached). A vanity unit with basin and under cupboard storage, mirror cabinet, towel ring, toilet roll holder, and an extractor fan. The Deluxe units also incorporate space for a washing machine and additional cabinetry.

Yes. All our prefab units come with thermal drapes on the ranch-slider door & roller blinds supplied on other windows.

Yes, the transportable units are made with EPS Thermopanel. This is a 75mm thick 'sandwhich panel' comprised of pre-painted colorsteel skins over a fire retardant treated Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core. The benefits of this EPS product = WARM, QUIET, STYLISH. All units have double-glazed windows. All units are built to NZ Building Code standards.

Water supply is as easy as plugging in your garden hose. The unit is fitted with an exterior water inlet valve that your hose will plug in to. Alternatively, you’re welcome to hire a plumber to install a more permanent connection. The HouseMe unit requires "Mains Pressure" for the gas califont to function properly.

We will supply 2 x 9kg LPG Gas ‘Swappa-bottles’ that will power the Rinnai gas Califont for hot water. The unit will come with Gas Certification.

Built into the unit is a Macerator Pump which will safely process and liquidise all waste from the unit – Kitchen, Toilet and Shower. The macerator pump uses a fast-rotating cutting blade to break up waste and toilet paper and convert the water and waste into a fine slurry, similar to an insinkerator. This is then discharged under pressure through a 25mm alkathene pipe and expelled into your main sewer or septic tank. Most customers hire a plumber or drain layer to professionally junction it into your existing sewage network. For more permanent situations, the unit can be configured to exclude the macerator and include a common gravity-fed toilet.

Most of our Units come fitted with a surface mounted twin electric hob. The larger Deluxe Units have a full-size oven and 4 burner electric hob. These can be reconfigured to gas for an additional fee.

We operate a building construction site, so due to OSH requirements, you are unable to simply turn up on-site. However, if you book an appointment, we are happy to discuss and show you the progress on your transportable home. We can email photo updates if required.

Unfortunately, there is no straight-forward black and white answer to whether a unit needs consent or not. HouseMe is happy to offer guidance as we are aware that every situation is different. The rules and regulations vary from region to region, and it is up to the individual purchaser to open dialogue with their local council should they feel the need to. If required, we can manage and submit a Building Consent Application for your factory-built unit, and supply a Council Issued Code of Compliance. This will be done for an additional fee of $4,000.

You will be required to engage an electrician and install either a 16 or 32 amp outdoor “caravan” power point. We will supply you with a 15m long caravan type extension lead that will plug into this point, successfully powering the unit. You will be provided with an Electrical Certificate and the Unit will have a Warrant of Electrical Fitness.

A $10,000 deposit is required for all orders under $60,000, $20,000 deposit for all orders over $60,000, and $30,000 for all orders over $100,000. A deposit is required to secure your order prior to building commencement, and your purchase will not be placed in the production schedule until we have received your deposit. . Payment in full is required prior to delivery. We also have No Deposit Finance options available.

Our lead time varies but is generally forecasted to be 12-14 weeks from deposit to delivery. Our lead time can fluctuate depending on the volume of orders so it is always best to check in for an updated time frame.

Yes we do! We have a show homes display area at our South Auckland factory in Papakura, and another at our Tauranga, Bay of Plenty office. You can view opening times for both locations by clicking here.

Yes, but the changes you are able to make are limited. We apply a standardised approach to manufacturing which helps us build the units efficiently, at an affordable price. You can add in and remove certain components.

Yes. The transport cost is not included in the price of your unit. The cost of delivery is based on the size of the unit, location, and level of difficulty. Occasionally, specialist lifting equipment such as a Hiab crane is required of which the hire cost will be charged to the customer.

Yes. The largest transportable home we build is 12.5m (long) X 3.6m (wide). Most of our units are 3.0m in width and vary in size by length. We generally refer to them by their length.

No. All of our transportable homes are constructed in our purpose-built factory and are complete when delivered to you. This is normal for prefab homes.
