When you begin exploring modular homes, one of the first questions that often arises is about cost. Our modular homes start from $170,000, with final pricing depending on your selected design, finishes, and site requirements. But what does that actually include? Understanding preliminary site costs is essential. These are not hidden extras, but rather the groundwork that ensures your home is compliant, well-designed, and ready for delivery.
Starting With the Right Advice
Every project begins with a conversation. You’ll meet with our team to discuss your vision, review design options, and assess your site. Whether your block is sloped, rural, or within a regulated area, early guidance helps identify potential challenges before they become costly delays.
This stage provides clarity around feasibility, layout options, and the steps required to move forward confidently.
Site Assessments and Compliance
Before construction begins, several evaluations may be required to ensure your home meets Tasmanian building standards and local council regulations. These can include:
- Soil testing and engineering assessments
- Bushfire (BAL) ratings where applicable
- Site inspections and access reviews
- Environmental or drainage considerations
Paperwork and Council Approvals
Building in Tasmania requires careful coordination with local authorities. We manage:
- Contract finalisation and documentation
- Preparation of permit applications
- Compliance checks
- Council submissions and approvals
Off-Site Construction and Delivery
Once approvals are in place, your modular home is constructed off-site in a controlled environment. This allows for consistent quality control, reduced weather delays, and efficient timelines. Your completed home is then delivered and installed on your prepared site, minimising disruption and ensuring a streamlined build process.
A Complete and Transparent Approach
Preliminary site costs are not vague add-ons. They cover the essential steps required to take your home from concept to completion, including consultation, site assessments, approvals, construction, and delivery. The result is a durable, energy-efficient modular home built with quality materials, delivered with clarity, and designed to suit Tasmanian conditions.
