    Have you asked a builder what they can do it for?
    How about a large building company?
    As a tradesmen i have seen a few of these houses and they aren't of the best quality.Expect them to go down hill after 10 years [ the outlaws own one of these homes].They are built for affordability,and very quickly.I think the 12 month wait is in the instalation time,not the building time.
    Hope it all goes well.

    1st it's extremely hard to find a builder that is available for the next 12-18 months.
    That is why i started to look at the option of a transportable house.. A sprkie and a plumber will be required but thats it for around a week each.
    The quote from the builder is also around the 400k mark!

    yeah $420k so the profitability will be completely different.

    Hi mate,
    I've recently had a few dealings with a company in Perth called Kimberley Builders and Trans homes. They do a set design or custom. The first time I walked through one of their houses I was quite shocked of the quality. They are built complete concrete pad and all. I strongly recommend you at least have a look. By the way I have absolutely nothing to do with the company other than cleaning a few of the houses before transport.
    I think they do have a website and I'd imagine it to be  http://www.kimberleybuilders.com.au  . Good luck and I hope this helps you.
