Seven kitset designs, drawn for island sites
We keep the range deliberately small. Each design is a steel framing package (wall frames, roof framing, fixings and drawings) manufactured in New Zealand, labelled component by component and flat-packed for shipping. Your local builder assembles it on site.
A kitset is the structural steel frame, not a finished house. Cladding, roofing, doors, windows, joinery, linings and services are arranged separately and confirmed in your quotation.

A two-bedroom, two-bathroom home: a straightforward starting point for a first house or a rental.

Any of the seven kitsets can be modified to suit your needs: dimensions, veranda depths and internal layouts can usually be adjusted within a design. If what you want sits outside the seven, send us your own drawings and we will design a custom frame from scratch.
