Why buy a Kit Home?

The main advantage is one of choice.  Tamkit Homes can supply any materials to any design.  You tell us what materials you want your home to be built from and we can tailor the Kit to suit your desires. Tamkit Homes has a library of over 200 designs and any of these plans can be altered.  You can also submit your own sketch for quoting and Tamkit Homes can help you design your dream home. 

Tamkit Homes can provide Steel or Timber Frames and Trusses as well as Hebel Powerpanel, Brick veneer or Hardiplank external linings and it is this variety of choice which makes Tamkit Homes so popular with buyers and Owner-builders.

Tamkit Homes can build your dream home.

Why are Kit homes cheaper?

It's certainly not because we use cheaper materials!  Tamkit Homes pride themselves on supplying a wide range of quality materials.  

  The savings come in three ways:
1.    Part of the assembly is done prior to delivery.  This not only means reduced costs but greater accuracy.  Wall frames and roof trusses are complete and ready to lift into place.
2.     The margin that conventional builders add to their costs to cover their own business expenses are absent when you build yourself and hire sub-contractors direct on a contract basis.  Also by purchasing a Kit Home, Owner Builders can do as much of the labour as is allowed by local authorities. This can mean a huge saving depending on how much time and skill the Owner Builder has. 
3.    Our ability to bulk buy materials means substantial savings which are passed on to our customers.

Who can build a kit home?  

Certain work like the plumbing and the electrical must be carried out by licensed tradesmen.  We advise that you hire tradesmen to prepare the foundations (or pour the slab) and to assist in the initial setting out.  The rest of the work is well within the capabilities of most handymen.

Our site contains details about a few of the homes from our selection but we have far more than these available, in fact over 200 individual designs.  And, of course, all of these are able to be adapted to suit your own requirements.   We hope you like our homes and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
