MH115 Mirror House 11.5m

In almost every case, yes. A unit of this size used for sleeping is a habitable building, so most Australian councils will want either a development application or a complying development certificate depending on your zone and block. We cannot approve it for you and we never guarantee an outcome. Each unit is built to order to NCC Class 1a requirements, with compliance documentation supplied, so your certifier has the structural, glazing and electrical paperwork they ask for.

Build time is typically 20-30 working days once the specification, wind region and BAL rating are locked in, and sea freight to an Australian port adds 20-30 delivery days on top of that. Delivery covers customs and inland transport. Most buyers should plan on a typical 40-60-day delivery window starting from initial deposit to a finished unit sitting on the slab, and we give you dated milestones in writing.

That is the first thing to check. The MH115 travels inside a 40ft container and is then craned into position, so you need a hardstand (firm, level ground that will take the weight of a truck or crane) or road frontage for the truck, room for the crane to set up its outriggers and a clear swing path with no powerlines or large trees overhead. Send us photos and a site plan and we will tell you what access you need before you commit.

The unit arrives finished. That covers insulation, internal linings, the mirror and glass facade, doors and glazing, the full bathroom, the 2 metre kitchen with cabinet and wash sink, and the furniture pack of wardrobe, queen bed, air conditioner, desk and chair. Electrical fit-out, lighting, exhaust fan, sockets, water supply and drainage are all in place. Footings, site works, crane hire and connection to services are quoted separately.

The cabin is delivered with its distribution board, circuits, plumbing and drainage already run to connection points. A licensed Australian electrician and a licensed plumber make the final connections to mains power and water, or to a solar and battery system, tanks and an on-site wastewater system if you are off grid. Those trades and any council plumbing approvals are arranged locally and are not included.

We specify to your conditions before production starts, so tell us your BAL rating and wind region at enquiry. Glazing, seals, screening and fixings all change with a higher BAL rating, and tie-down and bracing change in cyclone regions. This has to be designed in at the factory rather than retrofitted, so a site assessment early in the process saves both time and money.

A prepared concrete slab or screw pile footings, level and set out to the drawings we supply. Screw piles suit sloping or rural blocks and are quicker to install, while a slab suits a flat site and is often what a certifier prefers for a permanent dwelling. Footing design is signed off by a local engineer against your soil classification (the site test that grades how much your ground swells and shrinks with moisture) and wind region.

The written quote confirms warranty duration, covered components, exclusions, remedies and the responsible warranty provider. Appliances and fittings carry their own manufacturer warranties. Damage from incorrect footings, unapproved site modifications or connections made outside licensed trades is not covered, and your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply in addition to the factory guarantee.
