Council Approval: A Critical Factor in Your Portable Home Journey

Council approval is one of the most frequent questions we receive at Premium Portable Homes and what needs to be done. It’s a crucial aspect that, unfortunately, many buyers of tiny homes and granny flats overlook, leading to disappointment and frustration. We’re committed to transparency and ensuring our clients have a smooth experience, so let’s delve deeper into this critical issue.

The Harsh Reality of Non-Compliant Buildings

We regularly encounter clients who purchased other types of granny flats or tiny homes in good faith, only to discover they cannot secure council approval for installation on their desired land. The heartbreak of being left with a building they can’t use is devastating.

These situations often arise because some manufacturers prioritise quick sales over compliance. They might assure buyers that “engineering is included” and leave the council approval process entirely in the customer’s hands. This approach almost always results in rejection, leaving the buyer with a costly and unusable structure.

Our Unwavering Commitment to Compliance

At Premium Portable Homes, we prioritise full compliance with council regulations across Queensland. We understand the intricacies of local laws and ensure that every portable home we build meets the stringent requirements. Our customers can rest assured knowing their investment is secure and ready for installation.

Key Compliance Considerations

• Comprehensive Documentation: We provide all necessary documentation and certifications for council and private certifiers, streamlining the approval process.
• Seven Star Energy Efficiency: Our buildings adhere to the mandatory seven-star energy efficiency standard for Class 1A buildings in Australia, ensuring environmental responsibility.
• Expert Guidance: Our team is readily available to guide you through the council approval process, providing support and answering any questions you may have.

Don’t Risk It – Choose Certainty

Before making a significant investment in a portable home or granny flat, ensure the supplier can guarantee compliance with all council requirements. Don’t be misled by vague assurances or promises of easy approvals.

At Premium Portable Homes, we take pride in our transparent and compliant approach. We want you to enjoy your new home without the stress and uncertainty of council approvals.
