Successes At Home and Around the Globe
Kit Homes - Rising Popularity in Australia
Kit homes have seen a rise in popularity in recent years due to their stylish designs, energy-efficiency and affordability. In addition, kit homes allow home owners to take part in their property’s construction, which can be a satisfying experience for many.
A kit home can be most simply defined as a home where most of the major components such as the framing is prefabricated in a factory and then delivered to your site where it is assembled. It is like putting a large “kit” together thus the name. The frame of the kit home is made from either treated pine or steel, depending on the design of the house, your personal preference, and your overall budget.
A kit home is designed and partially manufactured off site and then all the materials are delivered by truck to the construction site for assembly. Some kits have parts that will need to be cut and trimmed on site.
Being Australia’s leading provider, iBuild kit homes offers over 70 designs including many great kit home and granny flat designs. iBuild is also a specialist of raised or slab CUSTOM DESIGNED homes with steel or timber frames.

One of the advantages of our kit home designs is that they’re DIY-friendly and efficient to assemble. After obtaining the necessary building approvals and registration (if applicable), most owner builders or licensed builders can reach lock-up stage in around 6 to 8 weeks.
From there, completing the interior fit-out – including plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, and finishes – typically takes an additional 2 to 4 months, depending on the project scope and your build schedule. In total, most iBuild homes are fully completed within 3 to 6 months.

Kit Home Know-How — For Those Who Want to Dig Deeper
Kit Homes Victoria – Raised Foundations or Concrete Slab?
Solid and Simple - Concrete Slab
Flexible and Elevated - Raised Floor Systems
When choosing between steel and timber frames for your kit home, several key factors come into play – including climate, fire risk, sustainability, and aesthetics.
- Timber frames are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and naturally insulating. They offer warm aesthetics but need treatment to prevent moisture damage or termite infestation.
- Steel frames are lighter, termite-proof and rot-resistant, and ideal for bushfire-prone areas. However, they are generally more expensive, and in high-humidity environments – such as coastal areas – they must be properly treated to prevent corrosion.
Both options are viable for kit home buildings – the best choice depends on your location, design goals, and budget.
If your land is located in a Bushfire Prone Area (BPA), your new home must comply with a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating. iBuild offers kit home solutions that can be tailored to meet BAL requirements — including the highest level, BAL-FZ (Flame Zone).
We work with fire-resistant materials and detailing designed to meet bushfire construction standards. Our team can also provide supporting documentation to help with council approvals and BAL assessments, offering guidance based on real-world project experience across Victoria’s bushfire-affected zones.
What Is BAL and Why Does It Matter?
