Questions to ask when buying a prefabricated building

Recently, Pop Up Homes has received a few emails from the public requesting our opinion in relation to a building project they are undertaking. In most cases, they have bought pre-fabricated houses from companies that claim are similar to a Pop Up Home but in actual fact, entirely different. Consequently, now have been left with homes that are unhabitable, non-certifiable and non-compliant with the Australian/New Zealand building standards.

The company is the world’s best prefab house Australia supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

If your house is non-compliant to Australian/New Zealand standards and can&#;t provide engineering and certification, your prefabricated home will be deemed unliveable, and the council will ask you to remove the dwelling at your cost. By this time, you will have already invested significant funds that in most cases, won&#;t be recoverable.

The purpose of this article is to inform readers about the seriousness of asking questions before buying and building a home. These simple &#;must ask&#; questions apply to many aspects of the building industry whether you are buying prefabricated buildings, modular buildings, conventional building and granny flats. Ensure you ask these questions before you commit to purchasing, they are designed to provide you, the buyer, with peace-of-mind.

Always be wary

Always be wary when purchasing a pre-fabricated building, modular home or granny flat, make sure what you plan on purchasing is exactly what was advertised from the builder.

Asking these easy set of questions will alleviate stress, uncertainty and doubt from your mind. It will ensure that what you&#;re buying is exactly what you have seen as advertised.

As I have always said to myself &#;if it&#;s too good to be true, then it isn&#;t&#;
