Flat pack houses vs our kitset homes

Flat pack and kitset homes have risen in popularity in recent years, but if you’re looking for the most stress free, cost effective and high quality solution, Latitude Homes’ customisable new home option is the clear winner. While flat pack houses and kitset homes promise flexibility, they also bring a long list of challenges.

Why Flat Pack Kit Homes May Not Be Right for You

Flat pack houses might appear affordable at first glance, but hidden costs, logistical issues, and time consuming processes can turn your dream into a nightmare. Similarly, while kitset homes offer the appeal of DIY control, they require significant time, effort, and expertise. Unless you’re a project management whiz, or a qualified builder, taking on a kitset home build can lead to unforeseen expenses and delays.

With our customisable new homes, you avoid these risks entirely. From start to finish, we handle the entire building process, leaving you to focus on what really matters; designing a home you’ll love.

What Makes A Custom Home Better?

When you choose Latitude Homes, you’re opting for an all inclusive experience with no surprises. Here’s why it’s the best choice:

1. Stress-Free Process

A full build with Latitude Homes means we take care of everything:

● Excavations and floor construction

● Builders, electricians, plumbers, and painters

● Building consent issues and inspections

From the first step to the last, you can rest assured knowing every detail of your dream custom new home is handled by professionals.

2. No Surprises

To ensure your customisable new home includes everything you’ve imagined, we take the time to discuss all your needs and wants upfront. This allows us to provide a clear and accurate quote, so you won’t encounter any unexpected costs along the way.

3. 10-Year Master Builders Guarantee

Every home comes with the Master Builders Guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected. This guarantee covers:

● Loss of deposit

● Defects in materials and workmanship during construction

Once your home is complete, we’ll walk through it with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied before handing over the keys; along with a welcoming gift to celebrate your new home!

4. Regular Updates

We believe in keeping you informed. With regular progress reports and on-site inspections, you’ll stay connected to your home’s build journey without lifting a finger.

5. Superior Quality, Every Time

Our new homes feature the same high quality materials and specifications as our kitset homes but are brought to life by licensed professionals. The result? A flawless finish that meets and exceeds all New Zealand building standards.

 

Why A Latitude Homes’ Custom New Home is Worth It

Think of a customisable new home as an investment in peace of mind. While flat pack houses and kitset homes may save you money initially, the added responsibilities, risks, and potential for cost overruns can quickly outweigh the benefits.

Latitude Homes ensures you:

● Avoid the stress of managing a project yourself.

● Receive a professional build that’s completed faster.

● Enjoy a high-quality home built to last.
