Expandable Cottage Installation
Installation can be arranged where required. Installation is included only when expressly stated in your written quotation or order agreement; otherwise it is separately quoted based on the cottage, location, site access, prepared foundations, lifting requirements and scope of on-site work. Where included, our team handles the expansion, positioning, levelling and securing of your cottage on site.
What Installation May Include
Where installation has been included in the customer's written quotation or separately arranged, the agreed installation scope may include positioning, expanding, levelling, securing and sealing the cottage.
The precise scope is confirmed in writing before work is scheduled. Installation is included only when expressly stated in your written quotation or order agreement; otherwise it is separately quoted.
Site Preparation Requirements
Before installation, your site must be prepared: a level foundation or footings (concrete pad, screw piles, stumps or slab), connection points for power, water and wastewater, clear access for the delivery truck and expansion area, and vegetation or obstacle clearance as needed.
Foundations must be completed and certified before delivery. Our team provides a site preparation guide tailored to your cottage model.
Utility Connections
Utility connections (power, water, wastewater) are completed by licensed tradespeople after installation. We can recommend trusted local trades or work with your own.
If you are going off-grid, our solar package can handle power needs, and we can advise on water tank and wastewater options.
Installation Timeline
Where installation has been included in your written quotation or separately arranged, expansion and setup typically takes one to two days once the site is prepared and the cottage is delivered. Utility connections are completed by appropriately licensed tradespeople where included in the agreed written scope.
We strongly recommend against DIY installation. The expansion mechanism, structural connections and weather sealing require specialised knowledge.
