EX20 Expandable Home 6m

The unit ships as a 6 metre folded box and opens to 6,000 x 6,300 mm, a near square 38 square metres before internal walls are allowed for. Because two folded units share a 40 foot high cube container, the freight cost is split across two homes rather than carried by one, which is the main reason this size is quoted so often.

Yes. The three and four bedroom layouts are built with a second bathroom, and it has to be specified at order because the plumbing runs are set at the factory. Adding a second wet area after delivery means opening finished linings and re running services, so it costs more and is harder to keep watertight than ordering it built in.

The kitchen and bathrooms are fitted and tested at the factory, along with lined walls and ceiling, flooring, windows with flyscreens, a lockable entry door, internal doors, lighting, power points and the switchboard. Loose furniture, whitegoods beyond the fitted items, decking, stairs, awnings and site works such as footings and connections are quoted separately.

Yes, in almost every case. A habitable building needs approval from your council or a private certifier, and the path depends on your state, your zoning and whether it is a primary dwelling, a secondary dwelling or workforce accommodation. We supply drawings, specifications and compliance documentation to support the application, and we cannot guarantee that a particular council will approve a particular block.

Usually around 20-30 working days to build from a confirmed order and deposit, then around 20-30 transit days of sea freight to the main Australian ports, including customs clearance and road transport. Run your approval and your footings in parallel with the build so the pad is cured and ready when the truck arrives. All dates are confirmed in writing with your quotation.

The home arrives folded at 6,000 x 2,400 x 2,600 mm on a semi trailer, so you need a clear approach for the truck and hardstand (firm, level ground that will take the weight of a truck or crane) for a crane with enough reach to place the unit on the pad. Overhead power lines, narrow driveways, steep grades and soft ground are the usual problems. Send photos and measurements of the access before transport is booked.

A licensed Australian electrician connects the switchboard to mains power, a generator or a solar and battery system, and a licensed plumber connects water and waste to the pre run points, whether that is town water and sewer, rainwater tanks or an on site treatment system. Those trades issue the compliance certificates your certifier will ask for at final inspection.

Warranty duration, covered components, exclusions and remedies are confirmed in the written quote and order documents before purchase. Fair wear and tear, damage from incorrect installation or transport handling outside our control, and anything altered on site after handover are excluded. Keep the electrical and plumbing certificates, because a claim on a fitted fixture normally needs proof the connection was done correctly.
