Types of Prefabricated Homes And Granny Flats That We Can Customs Clear
At Platinum® Freight Management, we can help you to import the following types of Prefabricated Homes and Granny Flats:
- Granny Flats
- Container Homes
- Prefabricated Homes
Prefabricated Homes
Prefabricated homes present a superb solution for those in search of swift and efficient housing alternatives. Built off-site, these homes are crafted for rapid assembly upon delivery, offering significant savings in both time and costs compared to traditional construction methods.
Manufactured to high standards, prefabricated homes provide contemporary amenities and customisable designs that cater to diverse preferences. Sourcing these homes from esteemed international suppliers guarantees a budget-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
Increasingly, importers opt for prefabricated homes due to their environmental benefits, expedited construction timelines, and cost-effectiveness. This makes them ideal for new homeowners, developers, and investors aiming for intelligent, sustainable investments.
Granny Flats
Granny flats are a popular housing option either to place on an existing residential piece of land, for rural properties or even for commercial premises. Granny flats are prefabricated and shipped ready for placement and are economical as they provide accommodation or office facilities that are self-contained.
While granny flats have traditionally been built on-site, an increasing number of importers are now choosing to import them pre-made; this is because granny flats can be easily sourced from overseas manufacturers and delivered to Australia at a fraction of the cost of a traditional build.
Importing granny flats has become a popular option for those looking for an affordable and hassle-free way to add extra living space to their property.
Container Homes
Container homes are also an increasingly popular type of housing. They are made from shipping containers and can be adapted to a variety of settings. They are often less expensive than traditional homes and can be assembled quickly.
Container homes can also be adapted to a variety of climates and can be moved if necessary. If you are considering importing container homes, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.
First, it’s important to find a reputable supplier, second, you will need to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from your council and make sure that the container home that you purchase meets all of the local building codes and regulations.
