Flatpack is an industry term used in design or materials-handling to describe how a structure can be packaged to make it easier to store and transport to reduce costs. The purchaser of a flat-pack kit home may choose to erect it yourself (owner-built), or employ a builder to do so, directly or through iBuild.

An average-size iBuild home, like the Avila, takes approximately 2-3 months to assemble. This period is dependent on the size of the kit home, weather conditions and the carpenters or tradesmen involved in the project.
Raised floors are on average cheaper. A concrete slab requires multiple different trades to implement, whereas an elevated floor can be accomplished by any owner builder. The cost is dependent on a range of factors; like the tradesmen completing the task and how much labour input you as the owner would like to contribute.

A rough rule of thumb is that the assembly will be equivalent to the cost of your kit home. Please note it can vary greatly depending on who the builder is and the extent of your input.
