Therefore, whether you require on-farm staff housing, a Bach extension, or a site office before the next project starts, Portable Dwellings delivers fully finished portable buildings across New Zealand in as little as six weeks.
Why Choose a Portable Building Over a Cabin, Shed, or Sleep-out?
Firstly, conventional cabins and sheds often disappoint once you factor in durability and hidden extras. Conversely, our units arrive turnkey, saving both time and money.
| Pain point | Typical cabin / shed | Portable Dwellings solution |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | Timber rot, thin insulation, basic windows | Steel-frame, PIR-insulated panels, double-glazed joinery |
| Transport & resale | One-way move, hard to on-sell | Built to relocate multiple times; consequently, the building holds its value as a separate asset |
| Compliance | Often uncertified wiring & plumbing | SAA-certified electrics and complete wet-area fit-out |
| Hidden costs | You pay extra for tiny upgrades (shower, deck) | Meanwhile, our transparent packages price decking, solar, and roofing upgrades up-front |
| Lead time | 7-8 months & weather delays | Factory-built in 6 weeks, then craned into place in a 4 weeks |

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common portable buildings NZ questions.
Do portable buildings in NZ need council consent?
Often, if the footprint is under 30 m² and the structure can be moved, many councils waive consent. Nevertheless, always check your district plan.
What site prep is required?
Generally, a level gravel pad—or wooden piles—is sufficient. We also supply footing and services drawings at contract stage.
Can I relocate the building later?
Yes. Therefore, units are engineered to be lifted multiple times; resale is strong because they’re asset-coded like heavy machinery.
How long does delivery take to the North Island?
Typically, you can add 4–5 days transport time; meanwhile, we book Interislander freight and include ferry fees in your quote.
