Modular Homes

Architecturally designed homes constructed off site and delivered as a complete home to your site.

Here at Whio Homes, we believe off site construction is the answer to combating rapidly rising building costs and decreasing the impact on our precious environment.

Our range of complete and modular transportable homes are the first step in the development of our full off site construction system. Increasing efficiency and minimising wastage (saving time, money and decreasing environmental impact), they are a high quality, cost effective solution for entry level housing right through to high end, one off architectural homes.     
And, the ability to adapt the layout and size of each module to suit individual needs, makes Whio’s modular homes the perfect choice regardless of whether you’re looking to extend your existing home or wanting to completely start from scratch.

Our modular homes are designed and built to the highest NZ building code standard, allowing streamlined construction for most locations in New Zealand without the need for additional engineering. Arriving onsite as a finished product, they are all built using Forever Breathe™ products and can be constructed with either a steel or timber frame, alleviating weight concerns and offering flexibility in design. To ensure your home reflects your unique style, we offer multiple cladding options.

Every home is pre-wired for solar electricity, your choice of gas or electric water heating and includes a heat pump with options for log burners. Whether you’re on grid or off grid our modular homes can provide the perfect sustainable, durable and energy efficient housing solution for you.

If you are keen on our designs, but transportable isn’t an option for your site, we are also able to offer them as a conventional onsite build where required.

For provide long term security, all Whio modular homes come with the Halo 10-year guarantee.
