ReadyBuilt by Lockwood

We've been building homes off site and trucking them in for AGES!

Here's one of our Lockwood homes on the road in the 80s, behind what we think is "Dawn Breaker", the Mack belonging to Warwick Johnson of Johnson House Removals, Tirau. Daylight travel, no pilot vehicles, no high-vis, and a few blokes in jandals!

Times have changed, but the job's the same: building quality new homes in our factory and delivering them to your site.

Do you remember Dawn Breaker, or have a story from the road? Tell us below!

Not all granny flats are created equal.

When you’re comparing options, don’t just look at the floor plan and the price. Look at what goes into the home.

ReadyBuilt homes are designed for long-term, low-maintenance living, with:
✓ Superior insulation for a warmer, more comfortable home
✓ Thermally broken joinery to help keep the warmth in and condensation out
✓ Quality, durable materials designed to stand the test of time
✓ Building components that exceed NZ Building Code requirements

So if you’re comparing granny flats from different companies, ask about how they perform long-term. The differences might not be obvious on a floor plan, but they can make a real difference to living in the home.

Quality homes attract quality staff.

Is adding a second dwelling to your property just too hard? Not any more!

Until recently, adding a second dwelling your rural property often meant a lengthy and costly resource consent process. Under the new granny flat rules, that’s changed.

If you’ve been thinking about:
• housing family
• accommodation for farm staff
• a place for parents or adult kids
• or future-proofing your property

We’ve got a compact home design that fits within the new rules and comes at a very sharp price! Our Lakeview is warm, practical, and ready to go now!

No fluff. Just a sensible solution that makes a lot more sense now than it did a year ago.

If you’d like to know whether the Lakeview could work on your property, flick us a message or come and have a chat with the team.

Recent changes to building legislation have made it easier for homeowners to add a small, self-contained dwelling to their property. With this home you can take advantage of these changes faster than ever!
