Delivery and Installation, Australia Wide
Delivered Australia wide, then craned or forklifted off the truck onto footings that were prepared before it arrived.

From factory to keys
- We check site access firstBefore anything is booked, we review access to make sure your home can be safely transported and delivered to site.
- Your site is prepared while your home is builtSite preparation and construction can happen at the same time, helping keep the overall project moving efficiently.
- Transport is carefully plannedWe coordinate the delivery route, permits and any required traffic management before your home leaves the factory.
- Delivery and placementYour home is delivered and professionally positioned on site, with the process coordinated from start to finish.
- Handover and documentationOnce delivery is complete, we provide the relevant handover and compliance documentation, ready for your nominated trades to complete any required on-site connections. We can also assist with coordinating this stage if needed.
Will it fit? The access checklist
Send us two photos to start: one standing at the street looking at the property, and one from where you want the home to sit looking back at the street. Then run down this list against your own block:
- Width of your side access or street frontage, and the tightest pinch point
- Turning room at the property, and anything on the route in such as a low bridge, a tight corner or a weight limited road
- Overhead power and phone lines, and tree canopy
- Slope of the block, and ground conditions where the truck and crane will stand
- Where your power, water, waste and stormwater come in
Not sure it will fit?Send the two photos and we will tell you honestly whether it works or what has to happen first.
Crane set or tilt tray
Which one you get is decided from your photos and your site plan, not on the day. It comes down to the weight, the reach needed and where the truck can stand.
Crane set
- Needs firm, level standing room for the crane, clear of anything overhead.
- With no side access the module goes in over the roofline, which is the normal method on a tight suburban block. Powerlines are the usual blocker.
- In built up suburbs the usual extras are a traffic control permit and a road occupancy approval. Who arranges those is agreed before delivery day rather than left to the morning.
Tilt tray
- The home is placed from the truck itself, without a separate crane.
- Whether it suits your block comes down to the weight of the home and where the truck can stand.
What you have ready before the truck arrives
This is your side of delivery day. Five things, all done before the truck arrives:
You get a written checklist with dates, so nothing is discovered on the morning of delivery.
Who does the work
The home itself is the straightforward part. Getting it onto your block, level, connected and signed off is where jobs come unstuck. That end of the job runs from the factory floor through the wharf and the customs entry to the crane on your block, so it is worth knowing who is doing what at each step.
What you arrange
- The site work, done by local licensed contractors: the footings, the set, the services connection and the final fit off.
- Your own builder or your own trades are completely fine. Plenty of buyers go that way.
- Tell us early which way you want to go and we will work in with it.
What we do on every job
- Build the home and get it from the factory floor to the crane on your block.
- Supply the compliance documentation for the build.
- Work in with whoever is doing the site work.
On some projects we can help arrange the site trades. That is not something we can promise on every job. It depends on the trades available in your area, on the scope you have bought and on what you have already lined up.
To be straight about the approval: where an approval is required, the certifier or the council makes that decision, not us. What we control is that the build and the documentation are ready for them.
Delivery zones
We deliver to every state and territory. What changes between them is the route and the lead time, not the home.
| Where | What tends to drive the timeline |
|---|---|
| NSW, Victoria, Queensland, SA, WA metro | Crane availability, street access and any traffic management permit |
| Regional and rural | Road access and the last few kilometres of unsealed road. Ground conditions after rain are the usual delay. |
| Tasmania | The Bass Strait crossing, which has to be booked into the schedule rather than added to it |
| NT and remote WA and Queensland | Distance and the wet season. These need the most notice and the earliest access check. |
| Offshore | Sea freight, port handling and the local install, all quoted in one line so you are not stitching four suppliers together |
We deliver and build worldwide
Australia is our base, not our limit. Send us the site address, wherever it is, and the quote comes back with the freight, the port handling and the transport to site in it, along with the local install where we can arrange it.
We work to the building requirements that apply where the home is going.
Delivery questions
Do you deliver Australia wide?
Yes. We deliver to every state and territory, and we deliver and build worldwide. Regional and remote blocks are usually possible, it just takes more planning around road access, permits and crane availability. Tell us the address early and we will work the route out before you commit to anything.
How is a home delivered to site?
It travels on a truck and is placed by either a crane or a tilt tray, depending on the weight, the reach needed and where the truck can stand. A crane needs a firm, level standing area clear of overhead power lines. Which method suits your block is decided from your photos and your site plan, not on the day.
What if there is no side access?
Then it usually gets craned over the house, which is the normal method on a tight suburban block. What matters is firm standing room for the crane at the street frontage and a clear path over the roofline. Powerlines are the usual blocker. Send photos from the street and we will tell you honestly whether it works or what has to happen first.
Do you deliver outside Australia?
Yes. We deliver and build worldwide. The compliance requirements change with the destination, so tell us where the project is at the first conversation and we will tell you what applies there and what documentation comes with the build.
