So it's no different from building a normal house.

You just got to do your planning permit application, check that you tick all the boxes, and then it can be done for a standard building permit as a main primary dwelling.

Yeah, you're definitely right.

And a good point you mentioned there was the high cube container.

A lot of people get caught out when they're trying to build a container home and they use a standard cube container, which is only 2.4 metres high.

So in our containers, we use a high cube container, which is 2.9 metres.

And that means you can get an internal finish height of 2.6 metres.

And that's where you can actually pass the NC rules as a 1A dwelling, where a lot of time you can't if you're just using a standard cube.

yeah and then talking about the build quality of them we build them like a normal home we do not try and make these like a typical modular home that you used to see or a lot of builders are still building we build them out of a timber frame plastered inside so when you step inside yes they are a little bit narrower but they're built and constructed just like your normal home you're living in and as you mentioned you have to sacrifice a bit of downsize to save more money

But a lot of our clients, when they do walk in, especially our models that have large windows and bolt-on outdoor areas, it is a lot more homely than most people think.

And as soon as they inspect them, the stigma that they had in their head for so long goes away pretty quickly.

They sure are.

Being a container, they're already completely sealed.

So if you've got a standard brick and mortar home, you've got a lot of gaps in that.

In our containers, we don't have that whatsoever.

We also kind of go above and beyond with the insulating qualities.

Being a container, we make sure we do a moisture barrier, heavy earth, or we use underlay.

So they're heavily insulated and very well-constructed.

The idea is for these to last more than 100 years.

And being a container that's meant to be able to see inclusive water for 25-plus years, we see that not being an issue with our designs.
