Prefab, modular or kitset: what you are actually buying
In Fiji the words prefab, modular and kitset get used for very different things, from a finished container unit to a pile of loose materials. Our kitsets are the structural steel framing package: wall frames and roof framing, labelled and flat-packed, with the drawings a local builder needs to assemble them. Cladding, roofing, joinery and services are arranged separately.
Steel framing does not provide a food source for termites, and it does not shrink, twist or warp like timber. On coastal sites, coating class, fasteners and detailing are specified for the corrosion environment of the site. Durability also depends on protected cut edges, correct storage and installation quality.
Steel framing can be designed for the project’s specific wind and cyclone requirements when supported by the appropriate site information and engineering. Foundations, hold-downs, connections, cladding and roof design matter just as much, so the engineer needs your site details early.

Shipping
Getting the frame to your site
Fiji’s main international ports are Suva and Lautoka, both on Viti Levu. Sites on Vanua Levu, Taveuni or a smaller island may need an onward leg, which is planned with the shipping handler once the destination port and project size are known.
We hand your labelled, flat-packed frame to our own third-party shipping handler and can put you in direct contact with them. Freight, customs and delivery are then coordinated between you and the handler. Freight availability, container requirements and delivery costs are confirmed individually for each destination and project.
Shipping and deliveryWhat we would ask you
- Port of entry and where the site is from it
- Whether you need freight arranged through our handler
- How many buildings or units are in the project
- Who will unload the container and store the bundles
From New Zealand
Planning a Fiji build from New Zealand
Choosing a design, drawings, quotation and manufacture all happen here in New Zealand, so you can work through them with us without travelling. You only need to be on the island, or have someone you trust there, when the container arrives.
On the island, the standard method is assembly by a local builder working to the erection drawings we supply. Where required, we can help coordinate independent engineers and experienced New Zealand builders. These services are quoted separately and remain subject to availability and project location.

FAQ
Fiji questions
No. Our kitset is the structural steel framing package, flat-packed for shipping and assembled on site by a local builder. It is not a finished house. Cladding, roofing, joinery, linings, insulation, services, foundations and site works are arranged separately and confirmed in the quotation.
Yes. We frame staff accommodation and multi-unit housing as well as single homes. Send drawings if you have them, or tell us the number of units and rough sizes and we will tell you what we would need to quote.
We welcome enquiries from throughout Fiji. Freight availability, container requirements and delivery costs are confirmed individually for each destination and project, including any onward leg from Viti Levu.
Local building requirements are set by the Fiji authorities, and your designer or builder should confirm them before you order. We supply manufacturing and erection drawings for the frame, and engineering may be arranged through trusted independent engineers where required.
