MD85 Container Fit One Bedroom 8.5m

Both are container width at 2,250 mm. This one is 2.7 m longer, and the extra length adds a separate open living area on top of the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen also steps up to an induction cooktop and the bathroom to a rainfall shower in a stone look finish. Freight mode and compliance documentation are the same.

Yes. At 2,250 mm wide it loads inside the box, where the clear internal width is about 2,340 mm, rather than riding an open flat rack. That means it travels at standard container freight rates despite the added length, which is the main reason this size is popular with buyers well away from a capital city port.

That depends on your council, your zone and your block. It is built to order to NCC Class 1a requirements, with compliance documentation supplied, which is what your certifier assesses. Most councils set minimum site areas, setbacks and floor area caps for secondary dwellings, so confirm those controls before ordering. We cannot promise approval.

A reinforced concrete slab is the usual choice, with screw piles suited to sloping or reactive ground. Your builder prepares it to the bolt pattern drawings issued with the order, and it must be cured before delivery. Footing design is engineered locally to your soil classification (the site test that grades how much your ground swells and shrinks with moisture), and it pays to sort drainage around the pad at the same time.

The home arrives complete and is craned onto the footing. You need a firm truck path for an 8.5 m load, a level hardstand (firm, level ground that will take the weight of a truck or crane) within crane reach and clear air space over the drop zone. Overhanging trees and low power lines are the usual problems on suburban blocks, so send photographs before delivery is booked.

Production typically runs for around 20-30 working days once the specification and colours are settled, and sea freight to an Australian port typically takes around 20-30 transit days, including customs clearance, quarantine inspection and the road leg. Container space is easier to book than flat rack space, so this size tends to run to schedule.

The shell, glazing, kitchen, bathroom, living fit out and internal services arrive complete. Footings and site works, the deck, freight, duty and GST, crane hire and connection to power, water and sewer are separate. Your licensed electrician and plumber complete the connections once the home is levelled and fixed down.

Warranty duration, covered components, exclusions and remedies are confirmed in your quote and order documents, with claims handled through Future Modular Homes. Cover assumes the home is set on the specified footing and connected by licensed Australian trades, so keep the compliance documentation and your trades' commissioning records with the building file.
