Approval pathwayNo council DA when compliant: building approval plus a council referral for factory-built homes, which our certifier handles. Our Petrie build followed exactly this path.

Where we deliver

17 areas in this council.

Dayboro5km from the yard

Our closest town. The yard is a ten minute drive up the road, which means Dayboro buyers can walk through a module on a Tuesday morning and have it delivered without the truck ever hitting a highway.

Petrie25km from the yard

Established blocks with deep back yards and a train line, which is the exact combination that makes a secondary dwelling worth building. Plenty of Petrie sites take a 3.4 metre module down the side without touching the house.

Caboolture20km from the yard

Big blocks, a lot of them subdividable, and a council that sees secondary dwelling applications constantly. Caboolture is also close enough that delivery is a short run on flat road.

North Lakes30km from the yard

Newer estates, tighter blocks and covenants worth reading before you order. Where access allows it, the Compact and Studio are the models that fit; the 4.0 metre range often will not get past the side setback.

Narangba20km from the yard

Acreage on the western side, standard estates on the eastern. Which side you are on decides whether the Family 13.5 is a realistic delivery or a crane job over the roof.

Burpengary20km from the yard

A lot of Burpengary East blocks run long and narrow with rear access off a service road, which is the friendliest site geometry there is for getting a module in without a crane.

Morayfield20km from the yard

Older stock on generous land. If the existing house is a lowset brick from the seventies, the back yard is almost certainly deep enough for a Standard 8.4 and the services are almost certainly on the right side.

Strathpine30km from the yard

Close in, well serviced, and a suburb where a one bedroom secondary dwelling rents the day it is finished. Side access is the constraint, so measure the narrowest point before you choose a width.

Kallangur25km from the yard

One of the busiest granny flat suburbs in the region. Blocks are big enough and the numbers work, which is why so many Kallangur enquiries arrive already knowing what they want.

Redcliffe40km from the yard

Coastal exposure changes the conversation. Salt air is why the standing seam Colorbond skin matters more here than inland, and why we would rather talk about corrosion category than paint colour.

Bribie Island45km from the yard

Everything crosses one bridge, so delivery access is the first question, not the last. Coastal exposure and sandy soil both feed into the footing design before anything gets ordered.

Beachmere30km from the yard

Low lying and coastal. Flood mapping is worth checking at Beachmere before you spend a dollar, because the finished floor level it forces will change your footing cost more than your module choice will.

Woodford30km from the yard

Acreage country, straight up the D’Aguilar Highway from us. Bigger blocks mean bigger models are realistic, and bushfire assessment becomes part of the conversation rather than a footnote.

Samford30km from the yard

Treed acreage with real bushfire exposure and some genuinely difficult driveways. The steel skin helps with the first problem; a site visit is the only thing that solves the second.

Albany Creek35km from the yard

Sloping blocks are the norm rather than the exception. Slope is a footing question, not a module question, but it is the thing most likely to move your budget after the kit price.

Deception Bay30km from the yard

Older estates with wide frontages, and enough rental demand that the secondary dwelling maths tends to close quickly.

Wamuran20km from the yard

Farmland and rural residential. Plenty of Wamuran blocks have no reticulated services, which makes the tank, pump and treatment budget a bigger line than the cladding.
