Modular Home Pricing

Our Pricing

Just like a traditional build, the cost of a modular home design and build depends on a number of factors, such as location, inclusions, and build size.

At Westbuilt, our prices are tailored to the home. Our modular builds are as unique as our clients, so every home is priced differently.

Outback

Available only on our Outback plans. These packages give you the option for the fastest possible build time in exchange for a reduction in design and colour choices and a slight decrease in inclusions. Our outback range is a cost-effective way to build in rural and remote areas, these homes have been specifically designed to suit the harsh QLD climate with affordability and practicality in mind.

Gold

The standard pricing level is the most common for relocatable homes. It includes a Caesarstone kitchen bench top, a back-to-wall toilet suite with soft close lid and much more. These inclusions make for a more than comfortable home with all the modern necessities.

Platinum

The Platinum level includes a full premium package including a higher level of inclusions such as strip lighting to the underside of overhead cupboards and wool carpet with underlay to bedrooms and walk-in robe. Obviously, with the increased inclusions level, this pricing is the highest. It is available to our clients on any home design.

Energy Efficient & Sustainable Modular Builds

Changes to the National Construction Code 2022 (NCC 2022) mean that all new homes built in Queensland (including modular homes!) now have to meet a 7 Star Energy Rating.

To ensure all our designs are up to code, and to provide you with the best possible energy efficiency features, we’ve gone above and beyond the code requirements to incorporate the extras as standard for all of our house designs. From solar power to low e-performance laminate glass for windows and sliding doors to advanced ceiling, wall, and underfloor insulation, Westbuilt ensures your modular home is eco-friendly and energy efficient.

Pricing FAQs

Can I get a loan for a modular home?

Yes, securing a loan for a modular home is much like obtaining a loan for a traditional new build, and most major financial institutions offer this option.

What if my bank doesn't finance modular homes?

Some banks may still be reluctant to finance modular homes, though this is changing as modular construction gains popularity. If you encounter difficulties, consider reaching out to one of the brokers or banks listed below.

What is the process for getting a loan for a modular home?

The loan process can vary by institution, but generally follows these steps:

1. Initial Discussion: Speak with your banker or broker to discuss what you want to do. During this step, the bank may grant you pre-approval.
2. Application: Once you are happy to proceed with getting a loan, the bank will require you to start the application process. Please note that the timeframe of this step can vary greatly depending on your circumstances and the bank's process.
3. Valuation: As part of the process, the bank may conduct a desktop valuation of the project to ensure that it represents market value.
4. Approval: Once you have completed the above steps, the bank will approve your application for a loan and make funds available for you to pay for your home.

My bank says they won’t release the money until the home is on-site. Can you help?

Yes, we can offer in-house bridging finance at competitive rates to cover progress payments while your home is being built. Contact your consultant to discuss options. Note that a deposit and initial progress payment of at least 10% are required before we start construction.

Are modular homes cheaper than buying traditionally constructed houses?

Modular homes are generally more cost-effective to build compared to traditional homes, particularly if you have a remote/rural property. This is primarily due to shorter build times as modular homes are assembled in a controlled environment. As they are built in a factory, a modular home isn’t affected by bad weather conditions which can often prolong traditional construction. Builders and tradespeople are also able to spend much less time on site which can substantially cut costs when building in remote locations.

Is transport included in the cost?

Yes, we include transport costs in your pricing. We don’t have a per/kilometre rate for transport. Instead, we give you a fixed price for delivery to your site.

Can you deliver anywhere?

We can deliver anywhere in QLD and the northern half of NSW.

Are council fees included in the cost?

Yes. Your building and plumbing approval fees are included. If you do need a DA for a second dwelling, there will be an additional cost for this.

Are onsite connections included in the cost?

No, these are not included as these costs can vary for each area. Costs can also vary depending on the location of the build site on an acreage block. However, we can provide assistance with obtaining quotes from local trades people.

Are floor coverings included?

Yes. Tiles in wet areas and carpets in the bedrooms are included. Vinyl flooring in living and hallway areas are all standard.

Upgrade options to polished timber flooring or tiles are available.

Can a modular home be built to withstand cyclones? And if so, what does it cost?

Yes. Our homes can be very easily built to meet required cyclone ratings. Costs will depend on the size of your home and the area in which you are building. For example, if your block of land is on top of a hill 500 metres from the beach, it will need a higher cyclone rating than if it is further inland in a built up and protected area.

Can I supply my own appliances and will this save costs?

Yes, you can for some items.

For example, you may be able to find a special deal for your kitchen appliances from a retailer that can give you a saving.

However you’d need to talk to our design consultant prior to purchasing them to ensure that there will be no adverse impact on building costs.

Do you offer fixed pricing?

Yes, we do! To ensure there are no unexpected budget blowouts, a design consultant will help you through the process of perfecting every detail of your home design so you avoid needing to make variations. Our sales administration team will also take the preliminary steps that are critical to giving you a fixed and final price (such as arranging engineering and soil tests).

With our team dedicated to taking care of every minor and major detail, there will never be any hidden costs for you to worry about.
