Expanders® units are designed to remove the delays and complexity of traditional building. Our process is straightforward, guided, and built around clarity at every step.
Pick the size and layout that suits your site, then choose your cladding, frame colour, flooring, benchtop and any add-ons. We’ll note every customisation so nothing is missed.
Send us your configuration and delivery details. We price every job manually and aim to have your quote back within 5–10 minutes.
No obligation. No pressure.
Once you’re happy to proceed, we build your unit to those exact specifications. Prefer something sooner? We can also supply a ready-built unit from stock.
We transport your unit to site and have it expanded, connected and ready to live in — typically in under one day. You just turn the key.
Every Expanders® unit arrives finished internally, ready to be unfolded and connected. The Studio works the same way, except it slides out rather than folding open.
Your unit arrives on a HIAB truck and is craned straight onto your prepared foundations — or onto a trailer if you're taking it further afield. Most sites are unloaded in under an hour.
Our install team unfolds the unit (or slides it out for the Studio), then builds in the cabinetry, applies flashings, and seals everything ready for the weather. The unit transforms from a container footprint into a fully-formed home in a matter of hours.
Once fitted out, your unit is ready for your local sparky and plumber to connect to power, water and wastewater. Everything internal is pre-wired and pre-plumbed — connections are simple plug-in points.
If you've added a pitched roof, veranda or deck, these are installed at this stage to finish the exterior. Then you're ready to move in.
