What is the difference between Kitome and other Home builders?
The major difference is the big saving you can make with Kitome. By doing the building work your self- or even part of it - or engaging trades directly, you could save thousands of dollars!
Most customers are amazed at the full extent of what you get in our kits. We encourage you to contact your nearest sales consultant to discuss exactly how we can save you thousands without compromising on quality.
Back to topWhere can I view an example of a Kitome home?
We have a number of showrooms conveniently located in QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS. We also have excellent relationships with many of our satisfied customers that are only too happy to show off their Kitome home at pre-arranged open houses. Contact your nearest sales consultant for more information.

Yes. Kitome is one of the only companies that manufacture its own frames and trusses. We have a state-of-the-art, fully computerised drawing and design program - so we can supply homes of any style, shape and size.
