Discover tips, tricks, and insights from our team
In the recent years, there has been a surge in popularity of granny flats in New Zealand whereby granny flats are tiny self-contained housing units that are typically constructed on the same grounds as an already existing house or apartment.
For many people, owning a home is a lifelong dream. What has changed over time is the way we build them. Prefabricated houses are put together from factory‑made parts — modules, panels, or kits — that are delivered and assembled right on the plot.
When it comes to securing a place to live, one of the most significant decisions you'll face is choosing between building a house vs buying a portable house. It’s not just about the upfront costs — it’s about your long-term plans, your lifestyle, and what you truly want in a home.
In today’s world, finding affordable and efficient housing has become a major challenge for many. With property prices soaring, space becoming more limited, and the demand for affordable living options continuing to grow, traditional housing is no longer the only solution.
What does granny flat mean? It’s a small home that shares the same property as a main house but works as a completely separate living space. It’s the kind of place where someone can live close to family without giving up their own privacy.
Mobile houses are gaining popularity among customers who want to own a house more quickly and, in many cases, at a lower cost. Unlike conventional buildings, these homes come as prefabricated packages ready for assembly, which significantly reduces construction time and eliminates much of the stress associated with traditional homebuilding.

2 Bedroom Unit33m²
We purchased a 2 Bedrooms unit from Portable Building Specialist to put on our land in the North. We were looking for different options before we made a decision and I really liked the fact that we could purchase a kit set and assemble ourselves which appeared sufficiently cheaper than other offers on the market. I am a builder and for me the whole process took 1 day to put cabin on place. The unit itself came as expected, the same quality as we had seen at Auckland showroom. Now we are thinking to purchase a Standard cabin from these guys to put as an extra accommodation.

Superior Granny Flat29.9m²
I recently purchased a Superior Granny Flat and I must say that I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The quality of the granny flat is good with 2 cabins being stacked to each other and it perfectly meets my needs for additional living space (not too big and not too small). The guys are super friendly and professional, explained me everything in details and suggested different solutions and layouts. Lots of things were customized even tiles and bench top colors. I recommend Portable Building Specialists to others seeking portable buildings and great service.

Baseline Cabin14.6m²
We bought a Baseline Cabin for storage purposes on my farm. The cabin provides sufficient space to store my farm equipment and supplies, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. The quality and durability of the cabin are fair for the price you pay, so I am happy with such a solution for my storage needs. The best thing was the service I got from the moment I call them till cabin set up, everything was as promised and delivered in just 2 weeks time. I highly recommend them!
