Before COVID-19, in the Wellington market, a 95m 2 may sell anywhere from mid $500s to high $600s. Basically, I plan to build a lot more of these in the future. Have since built up my own crew and we have are now close to finishing our fourth 95m 2 house and have two more 95m 2 houses to build plus three 72m 2 houses to build. I got in to building these things by accident. Unfortunately, QBH were so busy at the time we needed them to build the first house, in October 2018, the only way they could do it for us was to provide one of their builders to teach me and a friend to build the first one. Their site explains in more detail on the build options. You can pay QBH to do the “Shell Build”, which is building the dwelling to lockup stage. You can just buy the kitset and build it yourself. Was impressed with the concept enough to purchase a sub dividable site in Upper Hutt, Wellington at the end of the following month with a plan to have build two of their 95m 2 houses. I was intrigued by the concept so contacted the company to have a look at their show home. In April 2018 I came across a Quick Build Home advertised on the Property section of Trade Me. We encourage others to consider the same. We fully intend to build another QBH, once we find the right site. Happy tenants, low maintenance and economical build = happy landlord. They each have a strong yield, due to low up-front costs. The houses have valued up sell, both in terms of rent and resale value. And we are on even better terms with the key staff at QBH now than before we first built. The building process is as much about how you deal with what arises as it is about getting exactly what you initially expected. We are currently building two more SIP houses through a different company (we wanted to go two-story) and it has been the same. The process wasn't without issues, but open and honest communication saw all issues resolved amicably. Further, we still own both as rentals - Our tenants are happy living in them and we are pleased to own them. The fact we returned for a second is evidence enough that we were pleased with what we got. Both are elevated/on slopes, with parking and storage underneath, not uncommon in Wellington. My husband and I purchased two 72sqm kitsets from QBH, assembled the first ourselves three years ago and had QBH do the second two years ago. ![]()
