Homes For Modern Families

Not Your Granny’s Flat

Although we could be….!

A Moddie is a beautifully designed modern modular backyard home, perfect for multi-family inter-generational living - keeping your family independently close.

We are a backyard housing solution that doesn’t require subdivision or planning permit.  A small second dwelling (SSD), new legislation that unlocks a faster path to affordable home ownership.

We are not a DIY imported flat-Pack, nor are we a tiny home or a converted shed.

We are a family home.

Am I Moddie-Ready?

Why Moddie?

One house. One delivery. Installed in One day.

Complete Project Management

We Manage. You Move In.

Forget juggling tradies, chasing permits, and waiting, waiting, waiting! We handle the lot — survey, soil test, engineering, footings, services, delivery, and install. Fixed price. No headaches. We do the hard work, you get the keys.

Built Smarter, Not Slower

Nothing Left Half-Built

Every Moddie is factory-built with precision while we prepare your site. Yes, there’s some groundwork — but no endless mess, weather blowouts, supply excuses or incomplete buildings. Just reliable construction. We deliver homes, not headaches.

Certainty You Can Bank On

40 Years, Zero Guesswork.

After decades in the game, we know how to take the risk out of building. Moddie is code compliant, insured, and guaranteed — unlike too many other builders you’ve heard about! We get it right first time.

Pricing

3 Homes. 9 Floor Plans. 1,2 or 3 Beds.

We will provide a fixed price quotation with a clear breakdown of cost and timing. As every site is unique there are only 2 components we cannot quote until we undertake a site survey, and that is (1) the distance we need to extend inground services from your main house, and (2) the distance we need to crane your Moddie in place (if we need a crane).

We will firm all this up during your Design Pack phase, before you need to consider any further commitment.
