Questions

Before you enquire
How does pricing work?

The prices listed are for cabins 3.0 m deep, built to order. Delivery is quoted separately to your location, and any add-ons are priced alongside your build.

Can I change the size or layout?

Yes. Every cabin is built to order, so you choose the size and layout, and we work through the details with you before sending a fixed quote.

Can I choose my own colours?

Yes. You can choose your cladding and joinery colours from the COLORSTEEL standard range, as well as your interior wall colour.

Do I need a building consent?

It depends on the size and use of your cabin and on your local council. Many small single-storey cabins can go ahead without consent, but it's worth checking before you order. The government's Can I Build It? website is a good place to start, and we're happy to talk it through with you.

How do I get a quote?
