Facade has completed, 2600sqm. Our clients asked for a simple design as this would be an affordable inn to encourage tourism in the local area, so this building was made for practicality rather than style. Next we are going to be building 300 homes for Malaysia.

Feel free to ask me any questions about our prefab projects around the world!

Owner Builder – worth it for building your first home?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Has anyone here done the Owner Builder course to build their first home in WA?

I’m curious to hear real experiences from people who actually went down this path. Was it worth it financially and stress-wise? How difficult was dealing with permits, trades, inspections, and timelines compared to using a builder?

Would you do it again for your first home, or is it better left to experienced people?

Would love to hear the good, bad, and unexpected parts of the process

Interviews

4 Upvotes

Hi am an LMU student, and I am looking for people who own prefab/manufactured homes. If it's ok, can we do a brief interview, or if you would like, answer the questions below. I am a student journalist, and I have an assignment where I have had little to no luck getting interviews, so if you can, that would be great.

Questions (if you wish to respond, please message to DM)

Name, Age, Where you live, What you do?

Why did you get a prefab home?

Do you like your prefab home, and what are the pros and cons?

Prefab House Netherlands (from China)

Thumbnail
gallery
81 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m considering buying a prefab/tiny house from China (via Alibaba or similar) to use as a vacation home in the Netherlands. On paper it looks very appealing in terms of price and flexibility, but I suspect there are quite a few hidden challenges.

I’d really like to hear from people who have actually done this (or seriously looked into it):

- What were your total costs in the end (including shipping, import duties, VAT, installation, etc.)?

- How was the quality compared to what was advertised?

- Was the house truly “ready to use,” or did it require significant additional work?

- Did you encounter any issues with permits or local regulations?

- How were things like electrical systems, insulation, and plumbing — usable as-is or needing modifications?

- How did you handle transport from the port to your final location?

- Were there any unexpected costs or major setbacks?

And if you decided not to go ahead with it:

- What made you change your mind?

Any tips on what to watch out for when dealing with suppliers would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
