The units come delivered in an un-expanded container form factor, and require expansion when placed onto your site's footings. "Expansion" refers to the outer walls, floors and ceiling being folded outwards from the centre on either side of the unit.
We do not supply installation services, however the unit can easily be expanded and connected to plumbing & electrical services by a handyman / contractor team of your choosing. Connection to plumbing and electrical must also be done by a certified electrician and plumber of your choice. We do supply a free comprehensive installation guide.

The JULIET series is based on the JULIET1, which is an empty 20ft long unit that can be attached to as many other units as desired. The JULIET2 is 2 units attached on their long edges, and the JULIET3 is 3 units attached on their long edges.
When attached together, the interior walls can be either removed or kept.
We have curated many different pre-set configurations for the JULIET Series, and you can find each model's configurations on their respective product pages.
Each JULIET Series model can be customised with custom floorplan layouts, bathroom styles, kitchen styles and additional home options to go along with your unit. These factors will affect the final price of the unit, so please contact us with your desired customisations to get your specified quote.

VIOLET Series Installation Overview
JULIET Series Installation Overview
JULIET Series
The JULIET series is delivered onto your site fully customised with your pre-set configurations installed from our warehouse location. If you have multiple units (JULIET2, JULIET3), the units will require connection by either our team at HTC, or by your handyman crew of choice. This will depend on the location of your site and the distance from our headquarters.
After connecting the units together, you must have the electrical and plumbing connected by a certified electrician and plumber.
VIOLET Series
The VIOLET Series are delivered in an un-expanded container form factor, and require expansion when placed onto your site's footings. "Expansion" refers to the outer walls, floors and ceiling being folded outwards from the centre on either side of the unit.
We do not supply installation services, however the unit can easily be expanded and connected to plumbing & electrical services by a handyman / contractor team of your choosing. Connection to plumbing and electrical must also be done by a certified electrician and plumber of your choice. We do supply a free comprehensive installation guide.
Council approval varies from state to state, and per local council in Australia.
Typically, all of our units can be classed as "movable dwellings". This is because of their small floorplan area (all of our units are within 72sqm) and because of their lack of permanent ground fixation.
Our units are made to be placed onto concrete footings, piers, or concrete slab, with no permanent fixation to the ground.
Because of these attributes, our units can be considered as similar to a caravan or camper trailer, even with the lack of wheels.
Our units use Australian approved electrical components as well as Watermark certified plumbing fittings, however these certifications are not required for movable dwellings. Along with this, our units do not require the multitude of structural certifications needed for a permanent dwelling building status.
We are happy to supply you with all of the documents certifying our units' materials, safety, electrical and plumbing for your peace of mind.
If you would like to take the route of going through your council for permanent dwelling status, we can help to an extent by providing you with the information we have regarding our units, however we cannot provide these approval services or guarantee the units will be approved as a permanent dwelling.

We offer 3 year warranty for the interior, and 5 year warranty for the exterior.
Units that have been installed in deviation from our installation guides will not be warranted.
For example, if your besser block footings are not level when installing your unit(s) and water leakage occurs, this does not fall under warranty.
