Two people stood this up.
One qualified tradesman, one labourer. Pre-punched connections, cut-to-length cladding and a packing list keyed to the assembly guide leave nothing to work out on site.

- People, that’s the crew
Structural frame and external metal shell, on suitable projects: slab complete, clear site access, lifting equipment on hand, suitable weather and an experienced two-person crew. Window and door units are sourced separately and are needed to reach full lock-up. Larger or more complex designs, difficult sites and the weather all add days.
Designed by you · engineered by MBA
Drawn by you. Made to stand up by us.
Slab set out from your floor plan. Portal frames in Australian BlueScope steel, spanning what stud walls can’t carry. Girts, purlins and ridge at the spacing the engineering asks for — then pre-punched and bolted together by a two-person crew.
Nothing over-built by guesswork. Nothing under-built by habit. And the same model that passes the engineering check is the model that prices the kit.

And a hand with everything else.
The kit stops at the shell — but you don't have to go and work the rest out alone. Tell us what you need and we'll quantify it from the same model, take it to our suppliers and get you competitive quotes.
Windows & doors
We frame and schedule every opening, then take that schedule to suppliers and get you competitive quotes.
Insulation
Specified to your energy report — and our 150 mm wall cavity takes wall batts up to R4.0 (product value), where 90 mm framing takes R2.0–R2.7.
Linings & fit-out
Battens, sheeting and the finishes over your framing. The model already knows every sheet, so it can be counted exactly.
Outside the kit price: upper-floor flooring / decking sheets, stairs, balustrades and handrails, timber cladding & lining, slab & footings, erection / assembly labour, delivery to site, council & statutory fees, and the window and door units themselves. Delivery is quoted separately once your site is confirmed; the slab is poured to our engineered plan by your own contractor. The rest are yours to arrange — we'll tell you what to expect on each.
Sizes in the series
Choose your size.
Every design in the series is priced from its own model — open one in the Shouse Designer and see its kit price, free. Or draw your own; the model prices that the same way.
Prices are “from” prices in AUD including GST. Engineered shell kit — frame, roofing, cladding, flashings and fasteners. Delivery, slab, window and door units, services, labour and internal fit-out are additional. Your kit price is confirmed by a formal quotation after site-specific engineering.
Delivery
Made through a national network. Delivered to your block.
The kit comes through a national supply network, marked here. Kits ship flat-packed on one or two trucks, depending on the size of your home. Standard delivery covers most of Australia; remote sites are quoted individually.
