Service & delivery

We safely deliver and set up your home anywhere in the North Island.

We take your purchase seriously; we know it’s a big decision for you and it’s a big deal to us too. We can step you through the process at your pace, wherever you are in the journey. No cowboys here. Just a friendly team ready to make your dream into a reality.

We carefully deliver all our tiny homes and cabins using our own specialist transport team and our own  truck and trailer (allowing for units up to 70sqm to be delivered in this way ). We then set them up on properties all over the North island, on both blocks or piles. We make it happen for all kinds of different Kiwis on different sections; from suburban sleepouts and rural tiny house communities, to baches at the beach.

We follow up with after care service and a 10 year watertightness and structural warranty.  This is required by law and we will be around to ensure it is complied with.

portable cabin delivery 2

We deliver our portable cabins anywhere in the North Island of NZ.

There is a minimum charge of $750 for 2.4m wide units, (for an average install), for larger sizes please discuss with our sales person for in-house low cost delivery options.

The site is to be level and stable for the installation of the unit. Any groundworks required by the client at the site is the client’s responsibility or will be undertaken by agreement.

All prices listed are ex factory only (no on-site costs allowed for unless quoted specifically) but we can sort it if needed. For example we can crane over houses and fences at an extra cost.

Specialist delivery team

Our Tiny Houses / Transportable buildings are delivered to your property with specialist delivery staff and our truck and trailer system.  We then use our digger to easily manoeuvre the cabin into those tight areas that the truck cannot reach.

Placement of Your Transportable Building

There is usually no site preparation needed if the site is reasonably flat (if the unit is over 10m long we will need to organise a larger machine onsite to manoeuvre it into place). Once the unit is placed in the requested position we then block the cabin level  or can organise placement straight onto piles.

What Setup & Prep Do I Need to Do?2021-10-13T18:06:00+13:00

Our Unit2go tiny homes and transportable cabins are carefully delivered using our own specialist transport team and our own truck and trailer.

We then use our digger to easily manoeuvre the cabin into those tight areas that the truck can’t reach. There is usually no site prep needed if the site is reasonably flat. (If the unit is over 10m long we will need to organise a larger digger onsite to manoeuvre it into place). If the site is uneven or sloped you may need to pay for a digger to level the site prior to delivery.

We set up homes and cabins on properties all over the North island, whether on blocks or piles. We make it happen for all kinds of different Kiwis on different sections; from suburban sleepouts and rural tiny house communities, to baches at the beach.

What About Power & Water?2021-10-13T18:06:18+13:00

POWER: All our tiny homes have an electrical compliance certificate. All units come with a 15 metre 16 Amp caravan electrical lead for connection to your existing power source. We recommend you install an external caravan power point at your source.

WATER: Also standard in all our tiny houses/cabins is an exterior water inlet that can be connected with a standard garden hose, from your existing onsite water supply.

WASTEWATER: There are 2 options with Wastewater.

Option 1: Installation of a Saniflo pump. This means that waste can be pumped down a 25mm pipe up to 40ms from the unit, it can also pump uphill 5 metres. There is an extra cost involved for the pump.

Option 2: The toilet outlet can be plumbed in as per your normal house system. This would need to be carried out by a qualified drain layer. The waste will then go into your existing sewer drain or septic tank.

Can You Custom Build using Our Base Design?2021-10-13T18:06:35+13:00

You can choose a standard Unit2go floor plan and make some changes to it to suit your personal needs, or we can custom design according to your requirements. A Unit2go tiny house can be as large as you need – you can always join two units together for a pavilion style home. Please contact our sales team on sales@unit2go.co.nz to discuss your requirements.

We can also build specialist commercial units. We have built many different types of units including; bunkrooms, ablution blocks, mobile bar, mobile cafe, portable stables, offices, etc. The possibilities are endless.

How does Rent to Buy or Finance work?2021-11-09T12:12:57+13:00

We offer finance options against the unit, so you buy the tiny home initially and take on a loan against this at the same time. You then pay us weekly until the loan is paid off. Our sister company, UFinance will provide the finance assuming you are eligible. To start the process, complete our online application form. At the time of submitting your application, you will also need to provide us with photo ID and proof of address, plus you will need landowner approval for where the unit is going to be located.

The Finance rate ranges vary, please read about our rates and fees here.

How Much is Cartage & Setup?2021-10-11T19:09:00+13:00

For a simple delivery, costs start from $750 for 2.4m wide sleepout close to our factory and delivery fees increase from there. Larger units are quoted individually due to extra costs involved for over-dimension pilots etc. Our Premium Series has stricter delivery requirements.

Do I need consent?2021-10-13T18:07:46+13:00

Each cabin is built in accordance with the building code and comes with a council code of compliance. However, you may need a resource consent or building permit for your specific location. If you are unsure about consent or permits then please contact your local council for more information.
