Preparing a site for your QuickBuild kitset home build

Site Preparation

Get your site ready. We can help with the rest.

Before your QBH home can be built, there are a few things that need to be organised on site.

The following site preparation requirements apply to both Shell Builds and Full Builds, unless otherwise agreed with QBH.

If you choose a Turn-key Build, QBH can take care of these site preparation requirements for you.

What needs to be arranged?

Site Boundaries

Your site boundaries need to be clearly established before building work begins.

This can be done using:

  • White boundary markers at a minimum of three corners; or
  • A surveyor's set-out plan.

‍

Consents & Site Reports

The customer is responsible for arranging any required:

  • Building consent.
  • Geotechnical reports.
  • Engineering reports.
  • Surveyor reports.
  • Other site-specific reports or requirements.

Talk to QBH if you're unsure what's required for your site - we can help coordinate these where needed.

‍

Site Security

The building site needs to be secure before work begins.

This can be provided through:

  • Existing fences and gates; or
  • Temporary fencing, such as steel grid or orange mesh fencing.

Site Toilet

A suitable toilet needs to be available for the building team.

This could include:

  • An existing toilet within a house on site.
  • A portable toilet (port-a-loo).
  • Another suitable arrangement agreed with QBH.

‍

Building Waste

Building waste needs to be removed from site throughout the build.

This can be managed by:

  • The customer removing rubbish regularly; or
  • A builders' skip or suitable waste removal service.

Talk to QBH if you'd like us to help arrange waste removal.

‍

Site Access & Material Delivery

Suitable access needs to be provided for the delivery of building materials.

Materials should be able to be delivered within 20 metres of the building platform.

Additional costs may apply where materials need to be moved further than 20 metres from the building platform.

Talk to QBH about your site access and delivery requirements before your build begins.

Need a hand getting your site ready?

QBH can assist with the majority of the site preparation requirements above if required.

Whether you're choosing a Shell Build or Full Build, we can discuss what needs to be done and help coordinate the work.

Going Turn-key?

If you want the simplest option, our Turn-key Build can take care of the site preparation as well as the build itself.

That means QBH can help manage the process from getting your site ready, through to building your home and getting you ready to move in.

Talk to the QBH team about what we can take care of for your site.
