Approvals

Do you handle planning approvals?

On the Fully installed package, planning, approvals and installation are all managed for you. On the Cabin only package, you manage approvals and site works.

Are the buildings compliant?

The K and S capsule documentation lists NCC Class 1a compliance, electrical wiring to AS/NZS 3000 & 3001, plumbing to AS/NZS 3500, RCM compliant appliances and WaterMark certified fixtures where applicable. What your site needs depends on your council, so requirements are confirmed during site assessment.

Foundations

What foundations are needed?

K and S capsules sit on engineered, fully reversible foundations with low civil requirements. Expandable homes sit on levelled footings via six supports, and can be placed on hardened ground or several concrete footings.

Delivery

How are the buildings delivered?

K and S capsules are delivered complete, with Australian delivery and installation support. Expandable homes ship folded: two F20 units fit in one 40ft high cube container, and one F30 or F40.

Installation

How long does installation take?

Typical K and S capsule installation is completed within 1 to 2 days. Expandable houses deploy into living space within hours once footings are ready.

What happens on installation day?

The building is placed and bolted to its foundations and is plug and play ready. Plumbing and electrical connection is quoted after the site visit.

Customisation

Can I choose finishes and layouts?

Yes. Finishes and colours are chosen with our team. The S70 has two documented layouts, and expandable homes offer layouts from one to six bedrooms depending on size, plus flat roof, 2.4m and 2.8m ceiling, 100mm wall and two storey variants.

Pricing

What do the prices include?

Prices are indicative. Cabin only is the building price. Fully installed adds site assessment, engineered reversible foundations, placement, and managed planning, approvals and installation. Final pricing is subject to site assessment, configuration and optional additions.

Which extras cost more?

Decks, solar systems, battery storage, landscaping and pathways are quoted per site. Listed add ons include a projector ($600), sprinkler system ($800) and upgraded kitchen ($1,500).

Utilities

How are power and water connected?

Plumbing and electrical connection is quoted after the site visit. Optional off grid capability is available with solar and battery integration.

Warranty

What warranty is included?

K and S capsules carry a 7 year structural warranty, with annual servicing and maintenance programs available, including inspections, HVAC servicing, structural checks and lock and hardware servicing.

Relocation

Can the building be moved later?

K and S capsules are relocatable and sit on engineered, fully reversible foundations. Expandable houses fold for transport and can be placed on hardened ground or concrete footings.

Site requirements

What does my site need?

Access for delivery and placement, and a suitable foundation area. K and S capsules weigh between 1.5 and 9.5 tonnes depending on the model, so access for lifting equipment is assessed during the site visit.
