F.A.Q's
Frequently Asked Question
Can I arrange finance for a portable home?
Finance options may be available through third-party providers, subject to lending approval and provider terms. We can point you toward available finance options, but approval depends on the lender’s criteria.
How long does delivery take?
Typically 8–12 weeks from order to delivery, confirmed in your quote. Timing depends on the model, layout and any upgrades you choose.
Are your portable homes relocatable?
Portable homes can be relocated with proper planning. Relocation needs proper planning, including access, transport, service disconnection/reconnection and any local requirements.
Do you help with delivery and set-up?
We supply and deliver the home to your site, with transit insurance included the whole way. Your own builder or LBP sets it on piles and connects services. We send the drawings and guide them.
What foundation does a portable home need?
Foundation requirements depend on your site, soil, model, local council requirements and intended use. Common options may include piles, pads or concrete foundations, but an engineer or qualified local professional should confirm what suits your site.
Do these portable homes come with a warranty?
We offer a warranty of 3 years on the structure and 1 year on components. Normal wear and tear, accidents, misuse, and damage from natural events or extreme weather are typically not covered. We also provide 10-year after-sales support, with spare parts supplied at manufacturer price. Final warranty terms are confirmed in your quote or sales agreement.
Do I need council consent for a portable home?
Council requirements vary by site and by council. Check with your local council on what’s needed for your site and send us their requirements — we’ll tell you what we can and can’t do before you commit to anything.
Can I add off-grid solar to my portable home?
Yes. Off-grid solar and battery packages are available for portable homes, lifestyle blocks, rural sites and areas where grid connection is expensive or limited. The right system depends on your power usage, location and appliances.
What do you need from me for a fixed quote?
Send your site location, preferred model, intended use, delivery access details, layout changes and any upgrade options such as decks, cladding, insulation or off-grid solar. This helps us prepare a clearer fixed quote.
Do your homes include ventilation?
Yes. Heat-recovery ventilation is included as standard — not an optional extra — on our 20ft, 30ft and 40ft homes, the Horizon, the 40ft Glass Front, and every Apple Cabin. It draws fresh, filtered air in from outside and recovers heat from the air leaving your home, helping reduce condensation and damp while keeping your warmth in. (The only model without it is The Cabin.)
