iBuild investing in the Top End
iBuild has joined the Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Cooperation to invest in the cultural and economic future of the Northern Territory, after being tasked with the construction of a kit home office in the small town of Jabiru.
Constructing the Maybank Kit Home office presented some logistical challenges for the iBuild team and local builders.
Due to Jabiru’s remote location (it takes more than a 3-hour drive from Darwin to reach Jabiru), transporting materials proved to be difficult.
Despite these difficulties, iBuild was able to transport materials in a cost-efficient way by using their latest technology, which helps to assemble high-quality houses in a short time. Furthermore, iBuild provided flexible and low delivery charges to its clients in the Top End.
The team at iBuild was able to deliver a stylish and modern head office that will provide a welcoming environment for all the staff and volunteers in their local communities. iBuild is always keen to work closely with non-profit and government organisations in environmentally sustainable projects that help build better societies.
The Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation is a reputable organisation that manages the sustainable development of local communities while protecting the culture and traditional practices of the Aboriginal peoples in the Northern Territory.

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.
