home is...
from Kitome Brochure
A kit home is exactly like any other on-site build, the only difference is the house owner gets a lot more input into the design and build of a kit home. A kit home has pre-constructed frames and trusses (just like a regular home build) and is built on-site using selected materials.
Kit homes are popular in rural/ coastal and remote regions where having everything delivered to site is much more convenient than organising several deliveries or the many hours of driving to pick up various materials.

That said, the metro regions and surrounding suburbs are starting to see the many benefits of choosing to build a Kitome.

DA Approval
Now that you’ve obtained DA approval, you’re all set to start with your build.
Request Delivery
Once you have approval, we we’ll liaise with you, or your builder to finalise the delivery schedule. Delivery spots fill fast so it is important to lock in a delivery date if you have a construction date in mind.
Once delivery has been booked, Kitome will start the process of constructing the frames and trusses and ordering windows, doors, etc., in readiness for delivery of Stage 1, which is everything you need to get the house to Lockup stage.
Use this time to ensure that the site is ready for delivery, so construction can start without delay. Concrete slab should be down and cured, clear and safe truck access to site available, and plumbing, electrical and foundations, etc., should also be set up.
Start Building
The delivery day has been set, the site is ready. The first delivery to your site will contain all the Stage 1 materials plus the floor kit if required.
You’ll need to check off the delivery on the manifest to ensure everything is received and in good working order. Your builder can then start construction of your home to Lockup stage.
Kitome will be in touch with you or your builder to arrange delivery of Stages 2 and 3 of the build, which will cover your internal fit-out and inclusions. It’s recommended that you make regular visits to site to monitor progress and ensure quality of construction is up to scratch.
