en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australia's Zinc Studio has developed a prefabricated steel base home that is delivered by truck in near-complete condition and can be set up in hours, aiming to replace traditional construction methods.
This steel base prefabricated model utilizes truck transport, planned installation, and off-grid solutions, targeting estates, farms, and tourist areas, and can be converted into residences or short-term rental spaces. The standard model is approximately 7 meters long, and the manufacturer also offers larger versions up to 12 meters in length. The structure is built off-site, transported by truck, and requires far less intervention during installation than traditional construction.
In the CA Range model of this product line, the cabin is built on a steel base (steel skid foundation). This design allows the unit to be transported by truck and placed on a prepared foundation on site. According to the company, the arrival and positioning process can be completed in less than two hours, depending on site conditions and truck access. Visual installation can be achieved on the same day, but final connections for water, electricity, gas, and sewage still require professional handling. The standard model, approximately 7 meters long, is designed as a fully functional residence, internally equipped with facilities such as a kitchen, living area, bathroom, bedroom, cabinets, large windows, air conditioning, heating, and gas stove. In the steel base version, the wheels, axle, and tow bar can be removed after installation, giving the structure a more permanent appearance. The company also offers other product lines, including trailer-type models with widths of 2.5 meters and 3 meters, as well as the Cabin Range version (widths from 3.5 meters to 5 meters), which is built on a steel base and also delivered by truck.
The company positions the product as an alternative for owners of rural plots, remote properties, or areas with accommodation potential. In a public case, the CA-01 model, measuring 3.5 meters by 6.5 meters, is priced at AUD 129,000 excluding tax, with a total investment estimated at AUD 157,000 excluding tax after adding delivery, preparation, furniture, and additional items.
The product supports off-grid usage options, with optional solar plus battery, rainwater collection tanks, composting toilets, septic tanks, and greywater systems. Installation requires a pre-prepared level concrete foundation and must meet the road width and clearance requirements for the truck. Approval requirements depend on the local council, state, site, and installation type; buyers need to verify local regulations, zoning, and environmental restrictions before purchase.
