A Forever Home With A Deck Full Of Dreams & The Hum Of Bees

Deidre Hendrickson and her partner had been living in a caravan for three years. They loved their rural lifestyle but felt it was time to upgrade their accommodation. Staying on their lifestyle block was a priority, so they began exploring options for new builds, focusing on prefab, transportable and tiny homes.

From Prefab To Pure Fab: Building A Unique Airbnb In A Vineyard Paradise

Keith and Helen had firm plans for an air bnb in a special location – at the heart of their own Martinborough vineyard. When they each searched for prefab homes and transportable homes online, they found lots of options available. Two points of difference had them getting in contact with Able Spaces.

Why Our Prefab Homes Are Gaining In Popularity

Prefab homes offer Kiwis many advantages over more traditional building methods, such as fast build times and improved affordability. Because they are more affordable, prefab homes also make a new build an achievable option for many people.

Creating Extra Spaces

Able Spaces has a range of customisable house plans to suit your needs and your site. Our modular prefab homes are available in complete transportable form or as kitset houses. They are stylish, eye-catching, and above all, highly practical. Build a fully transportable 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom house to use as a bach, home, or rental. All our houses come complete with a Code of Compliance Certificate and are designed using the skills and experience of both an architect and interior designer.

Contact us today to discuss the options with Able Spaces' owner, Norma. Together we will come up with a plan for a home that meets your every need.

Let’s get started.

Prefab and Bespoke Transportable House Designs

Transportable Homes Designed For Your Needs

At Able Spaces we pride ourselves on leading New Zealand when it comes to high quality transportable, prefab homes. We’ve developed an efficient, hassle-free building process that helps our clients get the space they need quickly, at the lowest cost possible and with a minimum of fuss.

For many Kiwis the concept of the ‘dream home’ has changed in recent years – the dream for many now is to live without a huge mortgage, in a warm, comfortable small home that can be paid off in a short time frame. First time buyers are embracing small, prefab houses as an option to move away from renting earlier in life. Prefabricated, transportable buildings provide an affordability and practicality that can’t be gained with a traditional house built on-site.

We have a range of standard floor plans and layouts to choose from, from one bedroom through to four bedrooms – or we can develop a custom design to suit your unique challenges. Our modular homes (delivered to you in several sections) and kitset houses (built on site from prefabricated components) are the perfect solution for clients with difficult access, or tricky sections.

Portable Cabins for Growing Families and Extra Income

Looking to add an extra room to your home? Thinking of popping a granny flat into your rental to improve your return? We’ve got the perfect portable cabins for home offices, spare rooms and general home add-ons. We have plenty of transportable cabin options, ranging from small to large cabins, available for delivery anywhere in the North Island. Take a look at our portable cabins to see our standard cabin sizes – or get in touch with us for a custom design on a portable unit.
