Welcome to your WABi journey. Here, we initiate discussions to explore your ideas, budget, site parameters, and design requirements. This crucial step allows us to determine the best approach for executing your unique project. At this stage, we can also provide high-level costings.

Shipping
When manufacturing of your flat pack unit is complete, we arrange shipping. Please note, remote areas may experience longer delivery times due to limited accessibility.

Instalación
Once all your flat pack parts have been delivered to the site, installation can commence. The majority of WABi projects are supply-only or owner-builder, requiring clients to coordinate with local trades for completion. Our installations roughly take a third of the time a traditional build takes. This varies on the amount of skilled labour available.
