Owner Builder Focus
Met-Kit Homes is an Australian manufacturer specializing in affordable, quality steel frame kit homes, primarily catering to owner-builders and owner-managers across Australia. As a modern range backed by the extensive 50-year experience of Paal Kit Homes, Met-Kit offers a streamlined approach to home construction, emphasizing cost-efficiency and ease of assembly.
The company provides a selection of 3, 4, and 5-bedroom designs, including specific floorplans for narrow building sites. A key feature of Met-Kit Homes is its unique online design program, which empowers customers to extensively customize standard plans. This program allows for modifications such as adding carports, garages, verandahs, porticos, or alfrescos, as well as altering orientation, ceiling height, windows, and cladding. Customers receive an instant quote online, highlighting the transparency and flexibility in the design process.
Met-Kit Homes are constructed using a simple, easy-to-build, bolt-together modular steel frame system. This system is manufactured in Met-Kit's own factory from 100% Australian Bluescope Hi-tensile steel, which has been tested and verified by the CSIRO for its quality and strength. The construction method is designed for rapid assembly, with testimonials noting the impressive speed at which frames and roof trusses can be erected, even by builders new to steel-framed homes.
The homes are engineered to meet stringent Australian building standards. All Met-Kit Homes fully comply with statutory energy efficiency ratings. They are rated to a minimum N3 for wind, with options for upgrades to C2 cyclone ratings where required. Furthermore, they are designed to achieve full bushfire compliance, meeting BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) fire ratings up to the highest Flamezone upgrade.
With showrooms conveniently located in Emu Plains (Sydney), Caboolture (Brisbane), and Bayswater North (Melbourne), Met-Kit Homes provides full quality service and support to owner-builders nationwide. The company prides itself on offering significant value, with customers reportedly achieving up to 70% savings compared to traditional project home builds, without compromising on the quality of materials and fittings.
