Could modular and kit homes be the future of the great Australian dream?
As we saw on tonight’s show, you can have your own three-bedroom home built in eight weeks for around one third of the price of an average Australian home. The energy efficient homes from Powerhouse Homes are made from steel shipping containers, and they cost around $160,000. For more information, visit: POWERHOUSE HOMES www.powerhousehomes.com.au Alternatively, you might want to consider buying a kit home. The steel frame, components and internal walls are already cut to size and sold to you for a fixed price. You can even choose your own fittings, depending on how many components you want to buy up front. According to James Folwell of Wide Span Sheds, you can make a tidy profit when you sell the finished home.
