GRANNY FLATS
Granny flats are a popular housing option for existing residential properties, rural areas or even commercial premises. The granny flat is prefabricated, shipped from overseas and ready for use, they provide economical, self-contained accommodation or office facilities.
While traditionally built on-site, an increasing number of importers are now choosing to import pre-made granny flats. These units can be easily sourced from overseas manufacturers and delivered to New Zealand at a fraction of the cost of a traditional build.
Importing granny flats has become a popular option for those looking for an affordable and hassle-free way to add an extra living space to their property.
PREFABRICATED HOMES
Prefabricated homes are an excellent solution for those seeking quick and efficient housing options. Constructed off-site, these homes are designed to be assembled quickly upon arrival, saving both time and money compared to traditional builds.
With high-quality manufacturing standards, prefabricated homes offer modern amenities and customisable designs to suit various needs. Importing these homes from reputable overseas suppliers ensures you get a cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality.
Many importers are choosing prefabricated homes for their eco-friendliness, reduced construction time and overall affordability. This makes them a smart choice for new homeowners, developers and investors alike.
CONTAINER HOMES
Container homes have also become an increasingly popular type of housing. Made from shipping containers, they can be adapted to various settings and are often less expensive than traditional homes. Additionally, container homes can be assembled quickly and adapted to different climates, with the flexibility to be relocated if necessary.
If you are considering to import container homes, there are a few key points to keep in mind:
- Finding a reputable supplier
- Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from your local council
- Ensuring that the container home meets all local building codes and regulations
At Platinum®, we have the customs expertise and knowledge to ensure that your prefabricated home or granny flat arrives safely and processed smoothly.
