Getting to Know WABi
broad indication costs
Installation
WABi installation is cost-effective due to its fast assembly, saving clients on overall project costs compared to traditional construction. For instance, installing a 50m² WABi typically requires only about 300 man-hours.
In Australia, the installation cost usually ranges from 70% to 100% of the supply kit cost, so doubling the supply cost gives a rough estimate of the total expense. This is generally more affordable than conventional methods.
Internationally, lower labor rates can reduce installation costs to about 50% of the supply kit price. Costs may vary for remote locations or custom features.
FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ORDERS
Currently, WABi Constructions can only provide installation on jobs within Western Australia. Obtaining a quote for installation may take a few weeks as we source the best local trades for your project.

Assessing if WABi Suits You
Building a WABi follows the same process as constructing a traditional house, so you need to ensure it’s feasible for your site and secure council planning/building approval. To determine if a WABi suits your needs, start with a Feasibility Assessment. You can either:
• Engage a local architect or planner to guide you through the process.
• Collaborate with us at WABi, who can assist you throughout.
