Residential FAQs
What types of residential buildings do you offer?
Elite Portables offers a range of residential buildings, including family homes, custom-designed granny flats, and tiny homes. The company also provides solutions for portable home offices and storage.
How are your homes constructed to withstand Australian conditions?
Our buildings are built in a controlled factory environment using a fully-welded steel frame for superior strength. They are also cyclone-rated and feature Australian-made Colorbond steel cladding for durability in harsh conditions.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for a portable home?
Yes, you can. Elite Portables provides transparent, fixed-price quotes, and prices generally range from $60,000 to $300,000 depending on the size, design, and materials.
Do the homes come with plumbing and electrical connections?
Yes, the homes are delivered pre-assembled and fully fitted out, and then connected to the main power and water supply once on-site.
What is the process for getting a custom-designed home?
The process starts with a consultation to discuss your specific requirements. A concept plan is then drawn up, a fixed-price quote is provided, and the building is constructed in the factory before being delivered and installed on your site.
Can you assist with financing a residential home?
Yes, Elite Portables has partnered with mortgage brokers experienced in their industry who can help with finance needs.
What is the difference between your "off the shelf" and custom designs?
Elite Portables offers both “Off The Shelf” and custom designs. “Off The Shelf” are standard floor plans that are ready to be built, while a custom design is tailored to your specific requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Are the homes energy-efficient?
Yes, the construction methods are up-to-date and are knowledgeable about industry changes, including recent liveable housing, whole of home, and 7-star energy efficiency requirements.
Do you assist with landscaping or other external features like decks?
While Elite Portables staff are focused on building the portable buildings, they have connections with quality carport, deck, and shed builders and can line you up with them.
Do you build homes suitable for sloping blocks?
Yes, the buildings can be customised to account for sloping blocks and other difficult sites.
What is the lifespan of a portable residential building?
Elite Portables uses five decades of industry experience to create durable and long-lasting modular and portable buildings.
Can you deliver residential buildings anywhere in Australia?
While Elite Portables can deliver to anywhere in Australia, our primary focus for delivery and installation of residential buildings is within a 300 km radius of our Helidon Spa based location. This ensures our team can provide the most efficient and cost-effective service for your project.
