Living in a large classic home in Masterton, this client wanted to create a granny flat on their property to care for an ageing parent who could no longer live independently. They needed a transportable home that matched the existing house style, could be installed quickly, and required minimal disruption to the site.
The goal was to design a comfortable, accessible, and attractive transportable house that complemented the family’s main residence. It needed to provide independence for the parent while remaining close for daily care and support.
Manor Build’s prefabricated transportable home process made it possible to design, construct, and deliver the new dwelling efficiently — with all design, consenting, and installation completed in just over four months.
To tailor the new two bedroom transportable home to their needs and tastes the client implemented several customisations:
• Colonial bars in the windows and doors.
• Bay windows off both bedrooms styled as per the existing house.
• Tiled bathrooms including level entry walk in showers for mobility.
• Wider doorways throughout for accessibility.
• Modified layout to incorporate the entrance to line up to the laundry door on the main house so a covered connection could be built.
• Colour scheme to exactly match the existing home.
• Stone benchtops and Thermoformed Drawer fronts bring a quality aesthetic to the kitchen and laundry.
• Reduced build time, no compromise on personalisation.
Manor Build easily designed and delivered this granny flat in just over 4 months from the time the client signed the contract, including designing, consenting, constructing and installing the home at the site in Masterton. This project showcases the efficiency and customisation of prefabricated construction, delivering a personalised, quality granny flat without the stress of traditional building methods.
Build time from contract to delivery – 4 months.

The goal was to create a transportable home that not only fitted into the natural surroundings with charm and character but also allowed for a hassle-free construction process, as the investor was keen to continue with his full-time job without distractions.
