Kit Homes QLD – Queensland
Steel Strong
iBuild Frame Stands
Tall Through Cyclone Alfred
Located in the scenic Brisbane Valley, the couple was just one week into assembling their Bunbury kit home. With the stumps, flooring platform, and steel frame only partially secured, they were making steady progress – until Cyclone Alfred suddenly swept through the region. It was the first cyclone the Brisbane Valley had seen in 33 years.
As fierce winds and torrential rain lashed their property overnight, the couple braced for the worst. But the next morning, they were stunned by what they saw: the frame stood tall, undisturbed, and completely intact.

Kit Home Know-How — For Those Who Want to Dig Deeper
iBuild Kit Homes QLD – Queensland – 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?
