1 STYLISH AND AFFORDABLE STEEL KIT HOMES

2 Affordable and Stylish Housing Solutions provide a range of stylish, spacious and quality steel home kits at competitive prices. We supply the steel shell and structure of your new home, enabling you to source the rest without having to pay a builder s margin. Many of our competitors offer the full package including windows, doors, gyprock and plumbing however, this comes at a price inflated by the additional margins. The Concept The key to the concept is simplicity... our range of steel kit homes are designed and engineered in accordance with the Building Codes of Australia and to endure Australia s harsh and at times, unpredictable weather. Our steel kit homes are supplied to you (just as the name suggests) in kit form and are perfect for the owner builder or project manager. What Does Being an Owner Builder Mean? If you're ready to take on the challenge of building a home, or at the very least manage the contractors completing the project, you have the potential to save thousands of dollars by purchasing a steel kit home. The kit home gives you flexibility (and cash) to finish the home to your budget, taste and time frame. Benefits of a Steel Kit Home Steel is extremely durable and more likely to withstand fierce weather and climate. Don t be fooled though, while cold-form steel is very strong, it is also a lightweight material - making it easy for transportation and labour, resulting in reduced freight and labour charges. What is a Builder s Margin? The professional builder provides a built service; they are most likely NOT a manufacturer or distributor of building products. When a professional builder sources and supplies the building products on your behalf, then a builder s margin is added for the procurement. Eliminating these margins is one way that you can save money. Benefits of Being an Owner Builder Control of project you are not limited by the builder. Flexibility last minute changes are possible. Selecting tradesman you are free to use who you want. No waiting time you can work to your own schedule and not a builder s. The final result is the home you want. No builder s margin. Engineering and Floor Plans Our range of kit homes include all engineering plans, floor plans and elevations for you to submit to council. Termites Don't Like Steel! Termites are a big problem in Australia and whilst there is no way to completely eradicate this problem, you can reduce the termite temptation with a steel kit home. Unlike timber framed homes, termites will not eat through steel; you can be rest assured the structural integrity of your home will not be tainted by these pests. do recommend that you arrange regular termite inspections for your home, as other areas may still be prone to termite infestation.
