Here are our answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Prefab home builds for holiday rentals are typically 10–25% cheaper than traditional on-site building because they use efficient factory construction processes, enable bulk material purchasing, and reduce labour costs. They also save money through delivering faster build times, minimising waste, reducing on-site hazards and weather-related delays.
In New Zealand, modular homes typically start from around $180,000 for a compact 1 bedroom home and go up to about $500,000+ for a full-sized 4-bedroom model with higher spec finishes. Actual costs vary significantly depending on size, customisation, site access, foundations and delivery. Always factor in land purchase, consent fees and additional items like decks, landscaping and driveways.

Our granny flat design typically costs $180,000 to $300,000, depending on customisation, site conditions and delivery access. Our granny flats comply with the NZ Building Code.
In New Zealand, from 2026, a minor dwelling is typically limited to 70m² in floor area, not including decks, garages, or carports. However, exact size limits can vary by council. Some areas may allow larger dwellings or have different rules under local district plans, so it’s important to check with your local council before building.
