100 | Innovative prefabs deliver on quality Premium Portables are designed, built, and engineered to meet the standards of the New Zealand building code and the highest wind zones, snow- loading, and thermal-loading conditions. Premium Portables T T Kelly Deeks BUILDING High-end home builders Premium Portables have employed the very best of innovative construction materials and methodologies to bring affordable luxury living to everyday Kiwis across the nation. Over the past four years, Premium Portables has developed a range of customisable prefabricated dwellings, which are built and fitted out to the highest standards in a factory environment in Christchurch by licensed and certified tradesmen. Company founder Matt Higgs was a builder looking for a more affordable solution than traditional building methods, and settled on off-site construction as the way to deliver it. “Not everyone can afford to build a new traditional home any more, but with our method, they can,” he says. “We’re even doing prefabrication a bit differently. Instead of traditional frame construction, we use an insulated panel system for our walls, floors, and roofs and these provide structure, bracing, and insulation all in one product.” Premium Portables is committed to providing affordable alternatives to traditional building methods without sacrificing on quality, ensuring clients receive superior products and services at an affordable price. The panel system provides optimal thermal performance and comfortable living environments, and as a lightweight alternative to traditional building methods, is a cost-effective construction process requiring much shorter timeframes. The use of five-rob profile insulated panels for the roofs of Premium Portables’ homes has given the company a huge point of difference over other transportable or tiny homes offerings in the market place. “Our next show home, which will be on display at the New Zealand Agricultural Show in Christchurch mid-November, is going to have skylights. No one else is doing them, so that is very exciting for us.” Premium Portables’ prefabrication process allows the company to offer fixed prices for its standard plans. Matt says when building a traditional home cost variations can occur along the way to the tune of 10% to 20%. When building off-site in a factory environment where the weather isn’t a problem, waste is minimised, construction is faster, and quality is controlled, all these variables are excluded and delays are almost unheard of. These factors combined with Premium Portables’ bulk buying power means the price is the price, before any customisation for individual tastes and requirements. As standard, Premium Portables are designed, built, and engineered to meet the standards of the New Zealand building code and the highest wind zones, snow- loading, and thermal-loading conditions. This means every home that leaves the factory can be placed in any New Zealand location. Homes that are going to be located right by the seaside are additionally painted for corrosion resistance. Every building leaves the factory with a code of compliance, the legally recognised document that proves the home has been constructed in accordance with building regulations, meets specific health and safety requirements, and is certified safe and habitable. Premium Portables offers lead times of only eight to 12 weeks, and the services of an in-house qualified interior designer to ensure new homes are functional, attractive, and compatible with the lifestyles of their owners.
