EasyPile™

What is EasyPile™?

Foundations, sorted. Without the concrete

EasyPile™ is a screw pile foundation system for HouseMe homes. Instead of digging, pouring concrete and waiting around for it to cure, engineered steel piles are driven straight into the ground. They lock in immediately, meaning your home can often be lowered onto them as soon as the next day, depending on site conditions.

It’s a proven, modern alternative to traditional concrete foundations with far less hassle. It’s cleaner on site, quicker to install, and easier on the budget. And because HouseMe supplies and installs the whole system, you’re dealing with one team from start to finish.

No concrete. No boggy mess. No lawn looking like a rugby field after a wet Saturday. Can’t argue with that!

Why it works

Less hassle, more home

No mess, no fuss

No waiting on concrete to dry. No boggy mess. No dirt everywhere. Just a cleaner, faster foundation option for your HouseMe home. Pretty handy, really.

Affordable

One of the most competitive foundation options on the market. With less excavation, less material and less labour required, EasyPile™ keeps the install lean and the cost down. That means less landing on your invoice. Not bad, aye?

One Purchase

Choose your HouseMe home and combine it with an EasyPile™ foundation in one purchase. One agreement, one team, one invoice, and a tidy, low-stress process from start to finish.

Built to last

EasyPile™ is engineered and tested for long-term performance, with a design life that exceeds 60 years. Made from high-grade, hot-dip galvanised steel for corrosion protection, it’s a foundation system you can trust under your HouseMe home. Backed by a 35-year performance guarantee. Good as gold.

Cleaner site

With no digging and no soil to remove, EasyPile™ keeps things much tidier on site. No mud everywhere. No dirt piled up where it shouldn’t be. No lawn looking like a rugby field after a wet Saturday. Just a cleaner, simpler foundation install with less mess to deal with afterwards. Good result, that.

Move in sooner

With EasyPile™, your foundation is ready straight away, so your new HouseMe home can get underway faster. No waiting on concrete to dry. No standing around watching the weather. Just quicker progress and fewer hold-ups. Too easy.

Powered by the RADIX Group

EasyPile™ is built on screwpile technology from The RADIX Group - global specialists in ground screws and screwpile foundations, with engineered systems tested and trusted on projects worldwide. So while HouseMe handles your build here at home, the foundation underneath it is backed by proven international engineering.

No guesswork. No dramas.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

We sure do! We offer a few different finance solutions to help you get into a new, affordable home as soon as possible.

Unless you already own land, getting finance from a bank for a transportable home is almost impossible — that’s where FinanceMe comes in.

Our flexible finance options let you secure a home with:

Finance with deposit – standard option with flexible terms and no limits on home size.
No-deposit finance – available for homes under $100,000 (our 3m-wide range).
Rent-to-Buy – for those needing time to build credit before converting to a finance contract.

All options come with manageable repayments and a clear path to ownership.

If you’d like to learn more about how HouseMe finance works and whether it’s right for you, get in touch with our team — we’ll happily walk you through it.

You can also get started on our website [here].

Basic criteria:

Ideally, you have a full-time income (not always required).
You live in New Zealand.
Up to three people can apply jointly.
No land or equity ownership required — the landowner simply signs a one-page permission form allowing the home on their property.

Key details:

Interest rates: 14.95% – 19.90%, based on credit, deposit, and risk profile.
This is not a mortgage, and is similar to a personal loan.
Term length: up to 10 years.
Repayments from $200 per week.
No limit to loan amount.
Minimum deposit required for higher-value homes.
KiwiSaver funds cannot be used.
Can only be used for the home purchase, not site works or council related costs

Deposit Requirements

A $10,000 deposit is required for purchases under $100,000.
A $20,000 deposit is required for orders over $100,000.
All 12.5 x 4.4m homes require a $30,000 deposit.

Your deposit is payable when you place your order and secures your position in our production schedule.
Please note — we cannot allocate your build slot until your deposit has been received.

Deposit Policy

All deposits are non-refundable once your order is confirmed.

However, there are two exceptions:

If HouseMe determines that delivery to your site is not feasible, your deposit will be fully refunded.
If your finance application is declined after you’ve placed your order, your deposit will also be refunded in full.

Sales & Purchase Agreement

Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a detailed Sales and Purchase Agreement outlining all terms, specifications, and conditions of your purchase.

Payment Terms & Final Balance Payment

The remaining balance of your purchase is due 10 days before delivery of your unit — or whenever your home build is complete, whichever comes first.

You must complete payment and take possession of your unit within 3 months of paying your deposit, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please note, we do not offer free storage once your home is complete.

If you choose to cancel your contract, HouseMe reserves the right to retain your deposit and resell the home to recover costs incurred.

Yes, we do! We have show homes on display in 8 locations - Auckland, Whangarei, Cambridge, Hastings, Tauranga, Palmerston North, Christchurch, and Cromwell. You can view opening times for all sites by clicking here.

All show home sites have the same three units on display: 52sqm Premium Three-Bedroom (12.5 x 4.4m), 42.8sqm Premium Two-Bedroom (12.5 x 3.6m), and the 30sqm Deluxe One-Bedroom (10.4 x 3m).

We deliver our units Nationwide.

If your site has challenging access, don’t worry, we can assess it before proceeding. Our team can review your location using Google Earth and discuss any potential access issues with you.

Every site is different, and we’re happy to work through the best approach to get your HouseMe unit delivered safely and efficiently.

If you’re unsure about access, get in touch, and we’ll help you figure out the best solution.

Yes — absolutely. We do it regularly for sites with limited access or tight sections.

If a driveway or direct route isn’t possible, we can use a hiab or mobile crane to lift your HouseMe home over fences, garages, or even other houses.

We work with a trusted network of high-calibre crane operators and hire companies all over New Zealand. Our team handles the entire process — we’ll get the quotes, coordinate the delivery, and manage all communication with the crane company so you don’t have to stress.

Crane costs can vary depending on your location, access, and the size of your home. The final amount is invoiced and on-charged after delivery, once the exact cost is confirmed.

Every HouseMe home is built on a galvanised steel chassis, making it structurally strong and perfectly suited for safe lifting and transport.
