In Victoria, you can build as an owner-builder with the appropriate permit but Humpy Co. homes are built and installed by licensed professionals. We handle the full construction process from approvals to handover so you don’t need to take on any building work yourself.
Most of our customers complete their builds within 3-6 months, depending on the complexity and size. The off-site manufacturing of our kits significantly reduces construction time compared to traditional building methods.
Absolutely! We offer various customisation options from window placement to interior finishes. Our kits provide the structural elements, but you have freedom to create a home that suits your style and needs.
Our kit homes offer greater flexibility and quality than many prefabricated options. With steel frame construction and premium materials, our kits are designed for durability in Australian conditions.
Our kits are designed to accommodate modern appliances and technology. We provide provisions for heating/cooling systems, and our designs can easily incorporate the latest gadgets and smart home features during your fit-out phase.
From initial consultation to final handover, our friendly team provides ongoing support. We can assist with council approval processes, connect you with trusted trades, and offer technical guidance throughout your build.
Yes! All our homes come with full insulation in walls and ceilings (R3.0 ceiling and R1.5 wall insulation), plus Rhinowrap for superior thermal performance. This helps reduce energy costs while creating a comfortable living environment.
We’d be happy to share our portfolio of completed projects and have built examples of our kit homes at our headquarters which you can book a tour of.
