Frequently Asked Questions

Can you build my home for me?

There are two options should you not have the time or inclination to build your home yourself.

The first is to do what many of our clients do, and that's to become an Owner-Builder but pay local trades direct to erect your home for you. If you need an introduction to tradesman in your area please let us know and we'll do our best to assist you.

The second option is to have a registered builder take on the whole project for you. This will cost more, but may suit your circumstances perfectly. Again we are happy to assist wherever possible in helping you secure a builder to build your new Straight Edge Steel Framed Home.

We'd like to make a few small changes to an existing plan, is that ok?

Absolutely, and since we've already drawn the plan once it's easy to make any alterations. We'll happily do it free of charge.

While we're at it lets narrow down your window and door selection, any internal features such as a raked or coffered ceiling, and your external cladding choices. We can then provide a quote for the supply of your new Straight Edge Steel Framed Home with all the features that you've asked for.

Will you quote off our plans?

Yes we will, as long as they are yours and or you own the copyright on the design.

We will need at least a 1:100 Floor Plan and four Elevations in order to quote for you. If you have drawn your own floor plan to scale but without Elevations it will need to be sketched up in order to quote.

Straight Edge Steel Framed Drafting offers a competitively priced service to get this done, and the fee will be subtracted from the cost of your kit should you proceed with the purchase of your new home.

How much do our homes cost to build?

This depends on a few variables, but the opportunity to save 30% to 40% compared to the cost of getting a builder to do the same home for is yours to take.

Firstly the more you do yourself the more you save.

The faster the home is erected the more you save.

The beauty is that because you control the budget and buy your fittings and fixtures you'll know exactly where your precious dollar is being spent, and you can avoid paying any more than you need to.

How long does it take to get my kit delivered?

Once you have purchased your new home, we immediately get busy preparing the engineering drawings for certification and organise the Energy Assessment so that you can submit your plans to shire to get a building permit.

By the time this is done and you have your site ready to receive your frames about 90 days will have passed.

There are situations where we can produce and supply homes much faster depending on your individual circumstances.

If you have any more questions we're happy to help.
