A new trend in home ownership these days has been the introduction of re-locatable or sometimes referred to as transportable homes, and they've made quite an impression with their higher quality and great affordability. They have the convenience of being able to be ordered and delivered to nearly anywhere you want.

Generally made in a factory, like Elite Portables, these homes are built to a plan that the builder has used before or to your exact specifications using modern computer technology and automatic tools that cut, fasten, and build every part with higher quality materials and less waste.

After the home has been built in the factory it is time to move it to where it is required. However, moving one of these re-locatable homes or cabins is not something you can do yourself with a trailer!!

The factory where the home is built will arrange the transportation for you. This will involve booking a suitable truck, a fully qualified driver, and the necessary road permits. The home is loaded onto the truck at the factory and the driver very carefully conveys to home to your destination.

Transportable homes and cabins can be a heck of a lot cheaper than building a new home on a block of land or buying an established home which includes stamp duty and an endless list of other costs.

Because of the rising cost of housing, many people are now putting cabins into their backyards as teenager retreats, granny flats for older relatives etc. For those ‘kids’ who have left school, are in the workforce (or on the dole!) and still living at home to save money; a cabin in the backyard can be a great idea. Might even be a way of getting them to move out and get their own place if you’re lucky! Then you can use your cabin to put up visitors.
