HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED A KIT HOME?

  9 Jul 2026 11:00 am

Sheds n Homes offers a wide range of steel kit homes, with prices starting from $27,300 to $110,300 (under N3 wind conditions), depending on the home design. 

Depending on the state you live in, there may be a first home owners grant available or other incentives towards purchasing a new home available to you. 

Aside from the attractive price point of a kit home, here's are X things to consider when weighing up kit homes as an alternative housing solution.

 

All of the integrity and strength of a custom home, at a fraction of the cost

 

Creative flexibility

Unlike the limitations often encountered with project builders, kit homes provide a blank canvas for interior fixtures and finishes. A Sheds n Homes kit home comes with the structural shell including frames, trusses, and cladding while leaving the fixtures and finishes up to the owner to source, supply and install. While it may seem overwhelming to some, for others this is a creative dream. While the layout is predetermined based on the selected kit home style, buyers have the flexibility to collaborate with their preferred contractors for the internal fit-out, enabling them to personalise their home according to their vision.

Granny Flat Options Available

The QLD First Home Buyers Grant can be utilised towards not only a new home but also a granny flat built on family-owned land. This provides an opportunity to save on costs by avoiding the need to purchase additional land. Sheds n Homes offers The Weekender 60 which is ideal for a granny flat setup with two bedrooms, a bathroom, living and kitchen area.

Council Approval Assurance

When purchasing a kit home from Sheds n Homes, we guarantee that the steel building design will meet or exceed council requirements and approval, or your deposit will be refunded in full. 

Structural Reliability

Sheds n Homes structures are crafted from TRUECORE® Steel, manufactured specifically by BlueScope Steel for the residential framing market. Our homes are engineered to meet Australia’s stringent Class 1 Building Codes and Standards, ensuring structural integrity. Additionally, steel is naturally termite-resistant, providing peace of mind against pest-related damage.
