Four 20ft homes for an Australian housing dealer

Four matching 20ft expandable homes, with grey cladding, white frames and factory-fitted interiors — prepared for resale with Australian compliance documentation and installation support.

The challenge

An Australian modular housing dealer wanted four homes suitable for resale, not four unfinished shells. Their priorities were documented material safety, Australian-standard services and a practical layout their customers could readily understand.

Our solution

Haven coordinated the specification, factory fit-out, quality checks and shipping preparation as one order. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and service wiring were fitted before dispatch, supported by material test reports and electrical certification.

The result

The supplied project photos show a consistent finish across the homes: textured grey exteriors, white frames, wood-grain floors and bright, clearly separated living spaces. Installation guidance and technical support accompanied the order so the dealer could plan each customer's next steps.

01 — A matching finish, ready for the dealer's range

The brief called for a versatile home that could suit residential buyers or, where approved, guest accommodation and small office use. Haven paired textured metal cladding in grey with white structural frames, windows and doors for a clean, consistent appearance across all four units.

The exterior photo shows the home expanded in the factory, with protective film still on the joinery. It is a view of the supplied finish, rather than a completed installation on a customer's block.

02 — Living space that makes sense at first glance

An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the centre of each home, with separate bedroom rooms providing privacy. White cabinetry and wood-grain flooring keep the finish simple, while windows and glazed doors bring light into the shared space.

Cabinetry and designated appliance spaces were prepared at the factory. Furniture and appliances should be checked against the agreed order; the photos show the fit-out before furnishing, with cabinetry still wrapped for protection.

03 — Services and safety built into the order

The bathroom combines a shower enclosure, toilet, vanity and hot-water unit in a dedicated room. Water lines, drainage and electrical wiring were pre-installed, with Australian-standard plumbing components and SAA-certified electrical fittings specified for the order.

Asbestos-free material documentation was a key part of the client's brief. Factory checks covered structural work, pipe seals, electrical installation and floor finishes before shipping. Final site connections still require licensed local trades, and occupancy depends on the approvals for each property.

04 — From factory handover to the customer's site

Haven prepared transport protection and shipping arrangements for the four-home order, together with installation and maintenance manuals. Remote technical support gives the dealer a point of contact during installation, with future customisation available as customer needs evolve.

For a similar project, the sequence is straightforward: confirm the specification, review the documentation, approve the factory build, then coordinate delivery with site preparation. Footings, access, permits and utility connections must be planned for each destination; a factory-fitted home is not automatically approved or connected on arrival.
