Do I need council approval for a prefab home?

In most cases, yes — but the process is often simpler than traditional construction. Depending on your location, you may need: A Complying Development Certificate (CDC) A Development Application (DA) Or, for smaller non-habitable structures, no approval at all (Exempt Development) We provide specification sheets, plans, and structural data to support your application. We also recommend checking with your local council before placing an order.

What is included in a standard Lunar Nest unit?

All our prefab homes are delivered fully built and ready to connect. Standard inclusions typically feature: Structural steel frame and insulated wall system Double-glazed windows and secure entry door Internal walls and finished flooring Ensuite bathroom with toilet, shower, and basin Electrical wiring and lighting Plumbing points for connection Ventilation and insulation suited to Australian conditions Optional upgrades and smart add-ons are available.

What kind of site preparation is required?

You’ll need: A flat, level surface (we’ll guide you through base requirements) Access for delivery truck and crane if needed Power, water, and sewerage connection points if applicable No slab is necessary — a pier or compact base system is usually sufficient.
