MD88 A Frame Lodge 68m2

A wood burning insert is standard, with gas and electric inserts available instead. Check your council's rules first, because solid fuel heaters are restricted or banned in some Australian local government areas on air quality grounds, and a compliant flue installation by a licensed installer is required either way.

Yes. The 60 degree roof pitch sheds snow naturally, which is why the shape is used in alpine settings. For the Snowy Mountains, the Victorian high country or Tasmania, specify the alpine package for R5.0 insulation and reinforced glazing. Snow load also has to be considered in the footing and structural certification for your site.

Yes, and a two storey house at 7.8 m to the peak often triggers extra scrutiny on height, overshadowing and privacy. It is built to order to NCC Class 1a requirements, with compliance documentation supplied, but the development application and any planning variations are your responsibility. Check the height control for your zone early.

Three bedrooms across two levels, comfortably sleeping six to seven, with a bathroom on each floor. The ground floor holds the open living zone, kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom, and the loft above holds two more bedrooms and the second bathroom. That split works well for a family or for a short stay letting.

Spiral stairs have specific tread, going and headroom requirements under the NCC, and some certifiers are conservative about them as the only access to bedrooms. The stair is supplied to the specified standard with documentation, but raise it with your certifier at the design stage rather than after the loft is framed.

A reinforced concrete slab or screw piles (steel posts wound into the ground instead of pouring a slab), engineered locally to your soil classification (the site test that grades how much your ground swells and shrinks with moisture), wind classification and, in alpine areas, snow load. The A frame concentrates load along two lines, so the footing design matters more than it does for a low set rectangular building. Your builder sets it out to the drawings issued with the order.

Production typically runs for around 20-30 working days once the specification is settled, sea freight to an Australian port typically takes around 20-30 transit days, including customs clearance, quarantine inspection, road delivery, plus five to seven days of local assembly. Fireplace and flue installation, service connections and inspections follow after that.

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 lodge was assembled to the supplied drawings on the specified footing and connected by licensed Australian trades, so keep the assembly, flue and commissioning records with the compliance pack.
