About Ernest

Ernest Cutler founded Ernest Cutler Constructions to solve a problem he saw too often: Tasmanians struggling to access high-quality, energy-efficient homes without the long wait times or unpredictable costs of traditional builds. With decades of industry experience behind him, Ernie set out to do things differently, pairing thoughtful design with modular efficiency.

Built for Tasmanian conditions, Ernest Cutler homes are fast to construct, fire-resilient, and built to last. For Ernie, modular isn’t a trend, it’s the most practical way to deliver better outcomes for homeowners, especially in regions where trades are scarce and weather delays are common.

Your questions answered

What is the process for purchasing and installing a modular home?

It all starts with a conversation. We’ll guide you through every step, from selecting the right design to managing permits, building off-site, and final installation. The process is streamlined, transparent, and designed to get you into your new home faster, with less hassle and more confidence. Learn more about our process here.

How do modular homes compare to traditional builds in terms of cost and construction time?

Modular homes offer a smarter, more efficient way to build. With much of the work completed off-site, construction times are significantly shorter, often half that of a traditional build. Costs are more predictable too, with fewer delays, streamlined processes, and minimal surprises along the way

What financing options are available for purchasing an Ernest Cutler Constructions modular home?

We work closely with local lenders familiar with modular construction and can help point you in the right direction. Financing a modular home is often similar to a traditional build, with staged payments aligned to key milestones like planning, construction, and delivery.

Are your modular homes compliant with local building codes and council regulations?

Yes. All our homes are designed and built to meet Tasmanian building codes and council regulations. We manage the planning and approvals process as part of your build journey, so everything stays on track and above board.

Can I customise my modular home to suit my specific needs and preferences?

Our designs are fixed to keep things simple, fast, and cost-effective. However, you’ll have the ability to personalise your home through a selection of finishes, materials, and upgrades, allowing you to tailor the look and feel to your style, budget, and way of living.
