What Happens at Each Stage

01
Phase 1 · Week 1
Free Consultation

Your journey starts with a no-obligation call. We listen to what you want to achieve — your land, your budget, your timeline. We'll tell you which product suits your situation, what the approval process looks like in your state, and give you a rough total cost estimate including site works.

Capsul — We lead this. Free.

Fixed-Price Contract Signed

Once you're happy with the quote and inclusions, you sign a fixed-price contract and pay a deposit. The price you sign is the price you pay — no variations, no hidden extras. Your dedicated project contact is assigned at this point.

Site Preparation

While the build is finishing, your site needs to be prepared — foundation (concrete slab or steel piers) and service connections (water, sewer, power). Arranged by you through your own licensed tradespeople, or we can introduce you to our partner network.

Typical site preparation costs
Concrete slabA$8,000–A$15,000
Steel pier systemA$5,000–A$12,000
Plumber (connections)A$2,000–A$5,000
Electrician (connections)A$1,500–A$3,500

Phase 3 · Delivery Day
Delivery & Crane Placement

Your completed home is loaded onto a semi-trailer and delivered to your site. A crane lifts it and positions it onto your prepared foundation. For expandable Granny Flats, the side wings are unfolded and locked on-site — the entire process takes under a day. Fixed homes are typically placed in 3–5 hours.

Capsul — We manage delivery logistics
08
Phase 3 · After Delivery
Service Connections & Occupancy Certificate

Your licensed plumber connects water and waste. Your licensed electrician connects to the mains. Once all connections are certified, your certifier issues the occupancy certificate — the document that makes the dwelling legally habitable. Delivery to occupancy is typically 1–2 weeks.
