What’s Included in a Kit Home
Every kit home from our network includes the structural frame components you need to get your build weather-tight:
- Steel wall frames — precision roll-formed from BlueScope TRUECORE steel
- Roof trusses — engineered to Australian Standards AS4100 and AS/NZS 4600
- Steel subfloor — adjustable for sloping blocks up to 3m fall (optional)
- Engineering documentation — site-specific calculations for council approval
- Construction drawings — full working drawings for your builder or owner-builder permit
Building in South Australia
South Australia has significant bushfire zones in the Adelaide Hills and regional areas. Steel frames meet the non-combustible requirements without additional treatments. The hot, dry climate also means termite pressure is high, making steel the practical choice.
