If you’ve been running out of space at home, a sleepout or granny flat can be a brilliant solution. Whether you need an extra bedroom, studio, or semi-independent space for family, our flatpack and kitset cabins make expansion easy.


Because our cabins are Building Act compliant, you can rest assured your new space meets NZ’s construction standards. Many clients also choose to make their cabins self-contained, adding a small ensuite or kitchenette, perfect for long-term stays or rental use.


Every kitset arrives as a tidy flatpack, pre-cut and ready to assemble. You can build it yourself over a few weekends or hire a local builder to get it done quickly. We can even provide a PS1 if your council requires supporting documentation.


A granny flat doesn’t just add space...it adds value. Whether you’re future-proofing for family, working from home, or adding accommodation income, it’s a smart investment that adapts as life changes.
