Insulation upgrades

The single most valuable upgrade. Better insulation in walls, floor and roof makes the unit comfortable to live in and cheaper to run, in both hot and cold climates.

Climate control

Heating and cooling sized to your real conditions, plus ventilation to manage moisture. This is what makes a unit a home rather than a box.

Solar and battery

For off-grid locations, a solar and battery system is essential; on-grid it cuts running costs and adds resilience. Pair it with efficient appliances and lighting.

Openings and outdoor space

Upgraded windows and doors improve comfort and security, and a deck or outdoor area adds the space families and guests actually use. On a rental, the outdoor space is often what guests book.

Kitchen and bathroom finishes

Premium finishes in the kitchen and bathroom add daily comfort and help rental units command higher rates. These are set at order, so choose them up front.

Storage

Built-in storage makes a compact unit feel like a home and keeps the living space clear. Always worth specifying.

Frequently asked questions

How is payment handled?

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production.

How are units delivered?

Units ship folded and are delivered port-to-port (FOB). You arrange local transport from the port to your site.

Can I order more than one unit?

Yes. Multi-unit orders ship together, which lowers the freight cost per unit.

What to check before you commit

Three checks prevent most problems. First, confirm what your local authority will classify the unit as once it is permanently sited, and get that in writing. Second, get a local price for the work after the port — haulage, lifting, foundation and connections — because those costs are not related to the unit price and are where budgets move. Third, ask for the structural drawings and the insulation specification before you order.

On the unit itself, look at four things: how the shell was reinforced at every opening, what insulation is used and how the vapour strategy works, what documentation arrives with the electrical installation, and what the structural warranty actually covers. A supplier who can answer all four promptly is building to a standard you can inspect.

On payment and delivery, understand the terms clearly before committing: units are sold port-to-port (FOB) with payment by bank transfer in full before production, and the buyer arranges local transport and site works from the arrival port.

Getting a real number

Send your destination postal code and the model you are considering, and we take that to a customs broker and return an all-in delivered figure — unit, ocean freight, duty and brokerage — usually within one business day. There is no online checkout and no obligation: the quote opens the conversation rather than closing it.

Payment is by bank transfer in full before production, and units are delivered port-to-port (FOB); you arrange local transport from the arrival port to your site. We work factory-direct with a single vetted manufacturer, so the price you see is the same price a retailer would pay, with no distributor margin layered on top.
