a fully computerised drawing and design program. We can supply any style, shape and size home..

How do we pay for a Kitome?
We require a 5% deposit upon signing of the contract, with this we will supply you with your home plans and BASIX (NSW only) certificates. With this paperwork you will now be ready to submit the plans
to council. The next step is your first progress payment which is 20% of the contract value, this is paid when you request us to commence the manufacture of you home. Progress Payments then follow on with your requests for the other stages of your home.
