Latitude Homes - Kitset Homes
 

Not only does Latitude Homes have a large range of house designs for you to choose from, we can also supply you a kitset home or full build service on a selection of our designs – with steel framing.

Steel is one of the world’s most remarkable building materials. Axxis™ Steel for Framing has been Awarded the Sensitive Choice logo by the Asthma Foundation for being mould resistant and low allergenic. Frametek Steel Frames do not contain any toxins and do not absorb moisture giving homeowners peace of mind about the quality of the air their families are breathing. Containing recycled product and being 100% recyclable in itself, steel is also without a doubt the right choice for a green environment.

The steel’s strength, stiffness and geometric properties ensure the core stability of your home, making sure it stays straight and square through NZ’s changing seasons. This ability is critically important as the framing impacts on everything that’s attached to it – exteriors, roofs, window frames, doorframes, linings, tiles and floors.

Using a steel frame for your home also means that your building site remains cleaner and most importantly the construction process is faster – it won’t be held up by weather and delays from waiting for timber framing to dry.

Our steel frames are supplied by Frametek – the leading provider of quality and cost-effective steel framing systems manufactured specifically for the NZ market using Axxis™ Steel for Framing from NZ Steel. All Frametek Steel Frames are backed by a 50 year New Zealand Steel durability warranty – the only structural durability warranty offered on framing materials.

Frametek has unparalleled industry experience, with expertise in manufacturing, design, distribution and installation. A home from Latitude Homes built with Frametek steel framing – an unbeatable combination!

  OUR RANGE – HOME PAGE

Latitude Homes has a range of modern designs to ensure there is a floorplan that will suit every customer’s lifestyle and financial requirements.

We allow for maximum versatility so all our floorplans can be altered or changed to add a garage, an extra living area, or more space to some of the rooms.

If you like a particular design but want to make some changes the Team at Latitude Homes are happy to discuss the alterations and advise you on the most cost effective solutions. In addition all designs can be built with a flat roof line – a look very popular with beach holiday homes.

There are also a number of ways in which you can build with Latitude Homes dependant on your budget and the level of project management you want to be involved in.

Depending on where you are wanting to build, we can supply Kitsets, Transportables, Shell Only or a Full Build Service.

Kitset Homes are the most cost effective solution to building as you purchase your own building materials and project manage the construction of your home chosen from our range of designs. You also arrange your own builder and subcontractors although Latitude Homes can help with this if needed.

Transportables cover the homes we build on our site and then transport to your own site. Our service includes everything up to painting and stopping of the interior walls and the painting of the exterior. You just have to put in your timber piles for the house to be delivered onto.

Shell Only homes are great if you have a limited budget and want to do a bit of DIY to build your own home. Latitude Homes organise to have the concrete floor laid, the builder to construct the frames, trusses, roof and exterior cladding and have the windows installed. The house is now at Lock Up stage and Latitude Homes supply you with the materials to finish the house in your own time and at your own pace.

The Latitude Homes range includes 1 and 2 storied homes, up to 4 bedrooms and a wide variety of different room configurations.

We also offer a variety of claddings for the finishing of your home including Clay Brick, James Hardie Weatherboard, Linea® or Axon® panels, Monotek® plastered panels or a combination of any of these.

Not only do you have the choice of house designs, finishes and how you want to build with Latitude Homes, our customers also have the choice of having their homes built with traditional timber frames or with the exciting and innovative steel framing alternative. In fact many of our homes can be built with either option.

All designs have the sq metre indicated on each as a starting point. Please note that if you’re comparing price per sq metre that different floorplan configurations will affect this price. EG if you have a triple garage added, the sq metre cost will be less than if you add an extra bathroom. If you’re unsure, Latitude Homes will easily show you how different rooms can affect the cost differently.
