How long will it take from start to finish?Approximately 23 weeks. Communication is important to us so we will ensure you are kept up to date throughout the process.
-
Do I need a bushfire assessment rating?If your property is in a bushfire-prone area, a BAL Assessment is legally required to assess the bushfire risk. This determines the necessary construction standards based on factors like vegetation type, distance to the home, and land slope. Properties with a BAL rating higher than 12.5 must use alternative designs and materials for better protection. You can check if your land is in a bushfire-prone area by contacting your local council. For Cosy Living homes, a higher BAL rating may require special considerations to meet safety standards.
-
Are you Cosy living modulars able to withstand extreme climate conditions such as cyclone prone areas?Yes, Cosy Living prefabricated houses can be designed to suit any conditions in Australia. Each home is designed to suit the specific site. In cyclone areas, the modules are designed to be cyclone compliant and ensure maximum cross flow ventilation and verandas for shade.
-
Do I need an energy rating for my home?We work with accredited Thermal Performance Assessors to provide energy ratings under the National Home Energy Rating System (NatHERS). These reports show how well our homes maintain a comfortable temperature. By using passive solar design tailored to each site, we achieve at least a seven-star energy rating for our Cosy Living homes, always aiming for the highest possible efficiency.
-
Do I need a soil test?Soil testing has been a required step in home construction for many years. This process examines the soil’s moisture levels and composition to determine its ability to support the structure and handle external forces. Since each site has different soil conditions, the test helps to identify the appropriate type of footings needed to bear the building’s weight. By conducting a soil test, the right footing system can be designed, ensuring that your new Cosy Living home is built to suit the specific conditions of the land.
-
Why are prefab or modular buildings more sustainable than traditional buildings?The Cosy Living modular designs optimize the use of standard building sizes and lengths in commonly available materials, helping to minimise material wastage by utilising prefabricated off site-built modules. Cosy living reduces overall construction waste by as much as 52%. Additionally, in alignment with our waste reduction plan, any surplus materials generated during construction are either recycled or reused, further contributing to sustainable building practices.
-
Are we eligible for first home buyers grant with Cosy Living?The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-off payment of up to $10,000 for eligible applications from people buying or building their first new home.
-
What warranties come with Cosy Living modulars?Our homes come with a 3-month rectification warranty. This means we will fix any problems within this period at our own cost. Cosy Living homes also come with the industry standard six-year builders warranty.
-
Can a Modular Home be installed on a sloping site?Yes, Modular homes can be installed on sloping sites. Footing systems are custom-designed to suit the exact gradient and conditions of your land. During the pre-construction phase, factors such as orientation, site contours, and soil type are assessed to create a layout that's both energy efficient and tailored to your location. One of the key benefits of building a modular on a sloping site is the use of an engineered footing system specific to your site. This system is installed before the module arrives, reducing on-site. This system is installed before the module arrives, reducing on-site construction time, limiting disruption to surrounding area, and making the installation process faster and more efficient.
