Interest in kitset and transportable homes is surging across New Zealand for their versatility and affordability. These flexible spaces are popular as extra accommodation for whānau, home offices, studios, or rental units.

Options range from DIY SheShed kits, often under the 30m² consent threshold, to high-end Fraemohs Homes transportables and luxury Flexicube container homes. Prices vary widely, so it's crucial to check council consent requirements early, as they depend on size and amenities like kitchens or bathrooms.
