Affordable Cabins that are tough, practical and versatile.

• We handle the entire home design, including structural engineering and architectural design.
• Concrete pad or piled floor design.
• Supply of materials, including:
  • Kiln-dried gauged MSG8 stud wall framing (as loose framing to be framed on site, or pre-nailed/pre-made frames as an option)
  • LVL and structural steel when necessary
  • Roof framing
  • Hardware
  • Cladding
  • Spouting
  • Flashings
  • Aluminium joinery (double-glazed meeting H1 standards)
• This results in the external envelope to “weathertight” stage, plus internal framing.

• Internal fitout (other than framing for internal walls)
• Site works
• Construction (with coordination from us)

• All GreenWood homes are fully designed and engineered to Importance Level 2 (habitable) standard, at an exceptionally competitive cost.

• We can manage the council and consenting process (a cost applies).
• Client pays the council fees directly.

• Please note: Every project, client, home and location is unique, so there may be variations to suit specific needs.

• Normally all kiln-dried MSG8 gauged H1.2 treated timber.
• Walls: Default to 140×45 studs for all exterior walls (often voluntary to emphasize strong build quality), and 90×45 studs for internal walls.
• LVL13 is regularly used for bigger spans; structural steel is used for very heavy work if necessary.
• Framing supplied as loose (standard) or pre-nailed in the factory (at extra cost).
• Roof framing: Normally rafters/purlins or trusses.
• Garage/non-habitable sections: Can use poles and girt timber framing to reduce costs but still designed to Importance Level 2.
• Mezzanine or mid-floors: Included if required, though single-level homes usually are more cost-efficient (especially in very windy locations).

• Everything from the DPC (damp-proof course) under the bottom plate and above (excluding builders’ gun nails).
• Supplies to hold the structure together, including thru-bolts (sometimes dynabolts or anchor screws), substantial connection hardware, cladding fixings, wall and roof membranes and netting and Rigid-Air-Barriers where needed.

• Engineering of the entire structure.
• Concrete pad design (if standard and per NZS3604).
• Architectural design of the entire home.
• We can handle the consent application process.

• Normally, Coloursteel corrugated for both walls and roof (cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing).
• Plywood wall cladding is possible as an alternative.
• Soffits lined with ply or Hardie Soffit panel with PVC jointers.
• Cladding options (limited): Mainly coloured steel to roof and walls, plywood and batten, weatherboard (Linea® or timber), or cedar.

• All double-glazed, with residential trim as standard.
• Supplied through our national agreement with NuLook or Fairview.

Please note: This may not be an exhaustive list. Every project, client, home and location is unique, so there may be variations.

• Gun nails (check type of gun with your builder).
• Reo (reinforcing steel).
• Concrete pad supply (we can supply piled floor design and materials; note that we can design the floor regardless of the choice).
• Council or engineer’s inspections, along with anything other than those items specifically noted as included.
• Internal fit-out items (GreenWood does not supply any internal fit-out items, other than the internal wall framing, DPC, and thru bolts).
• Cost-efficiency notes: For maximum cost-efficiency, we normally use the internal walls for BU’s (bracing units) and to reduce higher-cost larger roof spans.
• Site requirements: All building sites used for a home will require a ground condition report or a Geotech report, which is normally managed by the property owner.

• The building’s bracing units are normally achieved from the wall linings (typically plywood or plasterboard).
• GreenWood does not supply these items, but we will work with you to design in your linings of choice as we work through the building’s design.
