Project Scoping and Quote Development
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.

Initial Design
Let’s begin transforming your design vision into reality! We have multiple floor plans and a variety of styles and sizes to choose from. Once you’ve selected a design that suits your needs, we'll collaborate to explore any additions or modifications.

Weeks
Planning Application and Approval
If your project already has Council/ Development Planning, this stage will be skipped. Whether you engage WABi Design or an external architect or planner, every WABi project requires planning approval as it is considered a permanent structure.

Manufacturing
Once we have received a 50% deposit, we will proceed with final engineering and manufacturing drawings. Our Freight & Logistics team will keep you updated via emails and phone calls throughout this process.
1-2
Weeks
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.
4-8
Weeks
Installation
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.
