Whether you want a dedicated home office or a separate living space on your property, a container-style home from Portable Dwellings is a practical, value-for-money option. These homes arrive finished and delivered to your site, with clear incl. GST pricing from $38,500. As a supplier, we deliver the finished home — your local builder handles the site work. If you’re weighing up a container-style home in NZ, here are five reasons to consider one.
What Is a Container-Style Home?
In our range it isn’t a repurposed shipping container. It’s a purpose-built home on a galvanised steel frame, finished inside and out before it leaves, then delivered to your site in one piece and set on piles. You can use it as a home, a home office, or extra living space.
Five Reasons to Consider One
- Finished and cost-clear: your home arrives complete — kitchen, bathroom, wiring, plumbing and insulation already in — with clear incl. GST pricing from $38,500. Delivery and site work are quoted separately, so you know the number up front.
- Fast to deliver: once your layout is finalised, delivery is typically 8–12 weeks from order, confirmed in your quote. The home arrives finished; your local builder sets it on the piles and connects the services.
- Insulated, with options: every home is insulated as standard (EPS; PIR panels available as an upgrade, NZ lab-tested to R-2.72). Solar options and rainwater harvesting are available if you want them, priced in your quote.
- Made to your layout: choose your layout, finishes and features. We supply and deliver the home made to your spec — share your requirements and we’ll quote it.
- Built on a galvanised steel frame: your home uses a galvanised steel frame and arrives as a transportable home — delivered in one piece on a truck and set on piles on your site.
