Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 06, 2009 4:51 pm Hi,
I am new in building a new house. I have looked around and have found a kitome design which i liked and have made some modifications to. I currently favoured kit homes because i've heard its cost effective. I have obtained a quote from kitome. The quote is based on a steel frame kalantis, which would be on steel piers and subfloor. The next step is locating builders that have experienced in building kit homes who services the Newcastle NSW area. , which i have no idea where to start. I'm after a quote in getting a kitome home to stage 3. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Re: locating experienced Kitome / kit home builders 2Jan 06, 2009 6:11 pm Why not speak to the kit home supplier... They should be able to point you in the right direction... Electrical Engineer... Don't hold that against me... And keen owner builder... Mainly the building part!!

They should be able to point you in the right direction... the supplier didn't have much recommendations. and i wasn't sure if this thread should belong to 'owner builder' as some ppl there have been building kit homes. wasn't clear if some got subbies to do it. would be good if they throw some advice/ recommendations or even quotes so i can budget the total cost. Re: locating experienced Kitome / kit home builders 4Jan 07, 2009 12:55 pm There are a few builders that will erect the kit homes and they actually prefer it as long as they are good kits. Only problem is finding them in your area.
Cost I would double the price of the kit and that would be to full build completion. Cost to stage three maybe save 20% on that, difficult to say until you get hourly rates and estimated time to a certain stage. This home from another company quoted The Kotuku Price: $165,000 (stage two kit), $360,000 full build Size: 274 square metres (including verandas) http://www.kithomes.com.au/feature3.htm I do not know anything about this company just using it as a price reference. Re: locating experienced Kitome / kit home builders 5Apr 04, 2013 7:39 pm I have just signed a contract build a house that size for that price. I often wonder why people are tempted by these kits when the prices are so high that they cannot save money except by providing labour, a saving that is regularly available with a builder who will build and take responsibility. It is all about hidden costs , which i say are not hidden as long as you know where to look. thanks for listening.
