Case Study

Project Overview: Fast, Smart, and Affordable

This home shows how smart design and planning can create a stylish, high-quality house quickly and at a fair price. Built on a rear section in Palmerston North, it’s a modern, low-maintenance 3-bedroom transportable home that is quickly generating a return for the investor client.

Client Goals and Project Vision

The goal was clear: create a warm, modern transportable home that was affordable, easy to look after, and made the best use of a smaller site. The project needed to be hassle-free for the investor who holds down a day job as well.

The base design chosen was the Entri plan, which was modified and made narrower to fit the rear site. This smart change meant the house could be positioned perfectly while still keeping its comfort and style.

Design Selections

To make the home both practical and appealing, a few key features were included:

• • Three well-sized bedrooms with good natural light. The master has direct access to the bathroom.
• • Modern roofline and cladding that give the home a fresh, contemporary look.
• • Dual-access bathroom for convenience.
  
• • Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen that face north to catch the sun.
  
• • Easy-care landscaping, fencing, and driveways, plus a carport and matching shed.
• • A modified Entri layout, redesigned to fit the site while still delivering a roomy, comfortable feel.

Quick Build, Easy Living

Completed in just five months, this 3 bedroom transportable home highlights the efficiency of Manor Build’s prefab construction process - delivering speed, quality, and affordability without compromise.
