abodeMORE
abodeMORE gives more home.
Premium factory-built backyard homes — Australia wide. Engineered to Australian Standards, installed by licensed local trades, move-in ready in 8–12 weeks.
A home for every backyard, every reason.
Three tiers, one compliance standard. Each abodemore is pre-engineered as a repeatable NSW approval package — the same certified design, documents and details every time. Sourced direct from the factory, so there is no middleman margin sitting on top.
BASE
~15–16 m² · No kitchen
A non-habitable garden room — home office, gym, art studio, teen retreat. Likely exempt development: no CDC, no DA, no waiting.
- Flexible open-plan space
- Insulated to habitation spec
- Craned in and finished in a day
STUDIO
~25–30 m² · Studio · 1 bath · kitchenette
Self-contained studio with full kitchenette and bathroom. CDC-ready, and the fastest path to a quality rental or a place for family.
- Full kitchenette + appliances
- Bathroom with laundry nook
- CDC fast-track eligible
1/2 BEDROOM
~40–45 m² · 1 bed · 1 bath · full kitchen
One genuine bedroom, open-plan living and a full kitchen. The sweet spot for rental yield against build cost.
- Full kitchen and living
- Separate laundry
- Highest rental yield in the range
PREMIUM. Everything, included.
A fully-loaded one-bedroom home. Solar and battery, a modern gas kitchen, continuous-flow hot water, an internal gas point for heating, and a covered deck plumbed for the barbecue and warmed for winter. Specified per site — every one is different, so there is no list price.
Hover any marker to see the detail.
6.6 kW solar array
Tier-1 monocrystalline panels · 25-year performance warranty
Roof-integrated and pre-wired in the factory, so there is no retrofit and no penetrations added on site. Sized to run the home and export the surplus.
10 kWh lithium battery
Wall-mounted · app-monitored · blackout backup circuit
Stores the day's solar so the home runs through the evening peak. A dedicated backup circuit keeps lights, fridge and comms alive in an outage.
Modern gas kitchen
Stone benchtop · soft-close joinery · 900 mm gas cooktop
Full-height stone splashback, integrated rangehood and a 900 mm LPG cooktop. Built as a single factory module, so the cabinetry lines up the way it does in a showroom.
Instantaneous LPG hot water
6-star continuous flow · external mount · no storage tank
Endless hot water with no tank losses and no waiting for a cylinder to recover. Runs off the same LPG supply as the cooktop and heating outlet.
Internal gas outlet
Bayonet fitting · certified and pressure-tested on install
A capped bayonet point in the living area so a gas heater plugs straight in — no electrician, no rewiring, no resizing the switchboard.
BBQ area with gas connection
Covered deck · plumbed gas point · weather-rated power
The deck comes plumbed for gas and wired for outdoor power, so the barbecue is a permanent fixture rather than a bottle you keep swapping.
Outdoor gas heater
Ceiling-mounted radiant · covered-deck rated
Mounted under the deck roof and run off the same LPG line. Turns the outdoor room into somewhere you actually sit in July.
Premium features & inclusions
Every inclusion described in full — what it is, why it is specified that way, and what it means once you live with it.
Sydney is out of room — and out of trades.
You build — you will pay. Every month of approval queue, every week a trade does not turn up, every weather delay lands on your invoice, not theirs.
A second dwelling is the only land you already own.
Council queues, RFIs, and a neighbour notification period.
Weather, sequencing and no-shows compound every delay.
80% of the build happens in a state-of-the-art factory. The rest, by licensed locals.
Two contracts. Nothing hidden between them.
One contract with us for the home. One with your licensed local builder to install it. Two named parties, two scopes, two insurers — and we prepare it all.
Supply & Delivery
We build your home in the factory and land it on your block. One contract covers the unit, the compliance pack, the accredited carrier and the crane.
- Factory manufacture to NCC Class 1a
- Engineering and BASIX documentation
- Independent pre-shipment inspection
- Accredited transport and crane placement
Installation
A licensed, HBCF-insured builder ties it down and makes it live. Electrician, plumber, certifier — every trade named and accountable on the one contract.
- Foundations — screw piers, slab or engineered piers
- Licensed electrician and plumber, certificates issued
- Services connection to your existing points
- Final certification and Occupation Certificate
Additional extras
Landscaping, timber framing around the piers, garden beds, BBQ areas and carports — quoted by your licensed builder and your abodemore sales manager, deliberately outside the two core contracts so those stay comparable line for line.
STUDIO granny flat · Sydney metro
~25–30 m² · Screw piers · 12 m service run from existing connections
Order to occupation in four moves — two of them at once.
A conventional build runs these end to end. Ours does not: foundations, services and certification are finished on your block before the truck and crane arrive, so the two longest stages share the same weeks instead of queuing behind each other.
Check your block
Enter your address. You find out in ninety seconds whether you are exempt, CDC-eligible, or need a DA — before anyone asks you for money.
Choose and sign
Pick your tier and options. Two contracts — Supply & Delivery with us, Installation with your licensed builder. Both itemised before you commit.
Factory build & transport
80% of the build happens in a state-of-the-art factory, then ships on an accredited carrier. Independent pre-shipment inspection before anything is loaded.
Site works & install
Foundations, services and certification are done on your block while the factory is still building — not after it. By the time the truck and crane arrive, the site is ready and waiting. The actual set-down, power and plumbing connection takes about two days.
Will your block qualify for fast-track approval?
Eligible NSW blocks are approved as Complying Development by a private certifier in 10–28 days — no council DA. Fill in your block details for an instant eligibility check.
No commitment. We'll tell you honestly which path you're on — CDC fast-track, full DA, or exempt — before you spend a dollar.
Certified, insured, down to the last fixture.
A lot can happen out the back. What happens in the factory is the part nobody sees — so here is what it is.
Half the time
8–12 weeks order to occupation against 6–9 months for a conventional build. The factory runs in parallel with your site works instead of queuing behind them.
Certified end to end
NCC Class 1a, BASIX, CPEng engineering sign-off, HBCF-insured installer. Every trade named on the contract and accountable for their certificate.
Two clear contracts
Supply & Delivery with abodemore. Installation with your licensed builder. Two documents, two scopes, no third party clipping a ticket in between.
Down to the last fixture
Appliances, tapware and fittings are installed and tested in the factory. What you inspect on delivery day is what was signed off, not a promise about a later trade visit.
The factory is the quality control.
A conventional build assembles a home outdoors, in sequence, at the mercy of weather and whoever turns up. Ours is assembled indoors on a jig, under lighting, by the same crew doing the same operation every day — with an independent inspection before anything is loaded onto a truck.
That is why the joinery lines up, the insulation is continuous, and the appliances are already tested when the home lands on your block. The 20% that happens on site is foundations, services and certification — the parts that genuinely have to be local.
Built for the way Australians live now.
abodemore exists because Australian housing has priced out too many of the people who already live here. The median Sydney house has passed $1.4 million. A conventional granny flat takes six to nine months and costs more than the work in it justifies.
We source direct from the factory. No importer, no distributor, no reseller adding a margin to a margin — which is the only reason a fully self-contained studio can land at $99,000 including GST rather than $130,000.
The manufacturing capability sits in Asia, where modular construction has been industrialised for two decades. The engineering, certification, installation and warranty are Australian — NCC Class 1a, BASIX, CPEng sign-off, HBCF-insured local builders. Precision-built there, certified and stood up here.
abodemore — more home.
Talk to us — whichever way suits.
No call centre and no queue. Three channels, all answered by the people who actually build these.
Questions, answered.
A secondary dwelling manufactured in a controlled factory environment, transported to your block and installed by a licensed builder. Around 80% of the build happens off-site, which means tighter quality control, no weather delays and dramatically shorter timelines than a conventional build.
