Kitset cabins framed in light gauge steel

Sizes and uses

Most cabins in the range have one bedroom, and nine have two. Many are long and narrow, around 2.9 m to 3.6 m wide and up to 13.3 m long, which suits transport, narrow sites and a view along one side. Wider plans around 4 m to 5 m give a more open living area.

Roofs are mostly mono pitch at 3° to 8°, with some gable and hip options. For a small cabin we can also supply a steel floor panel on request, so the floor and walls come from the same set of drawings. Openings can be changed at the drafting stage.

Consent notes

Twenty-eight plans in this range are 30m² or under. A detached, single-storey building of up to 30m² can be built without a building consent if it meets one of the Schedule 1 exemption routes and every condition of that route. That exemption doesn't allow a toilet, shower or kitchen, though, and the cabin plans include a bathroom. A cabin with a bathroom or kitchen needs a building consent, or may qualify under the separate granny flat exemption if it's a self-contained home.

Our guide to the 30m² building consent exemption explains the routes and the conditions that catch people out. We can supply engineering reports for a consent application, for sign-off by a third-party engineer, and recommend cost-effective engineers.
