Transportable Homes Christchurch

Looking to transportable homes for your next build? We’re here to help.

With housing prices on the rise throughout New Zealand, home ownership is becoming less attainable for many Kiwis.

That’s why many Christchurch locals are choosing transportable homes as an affordable alternative to home ownership. Why take on a hefty mortgage for a house larger than you need? Choosing a transportable home in Christchurch means you’ll have access to a warm, healthy home at an affordable price.

Recovering after a series of tragic earthquakes, Christchurch is a city of character and full of friendly people. Christchurch’s median house price reached $485,000 in November 2019 – that’s a 5.4% increase from November 2018. With two-bedroom homes starting from $87,999, Able Spaces transportable buildings can be placed on a new section or behind an existing dwelling on your property. Less than a quarter of the median house price, transportable homes are an affordable, sustainable alternative for families, first home buyers and property investors.

Choose to purchase a prefab home in Christchurch, and you will have all the benefits of a ready-made home without the hassle of building. These modular units are fully-equipped with everything you need to start living in them immediately. Plus, they are completely portable, so you can move them as often as you wish. Grab yourself a mobile home without the wheels!

We don’t just do transportable homes in Christchurch – Able Spaces can help with your commercial building needs. We offer a range of portable cabins, offices, lunchrooms, toilet blocks, sleepouts and studios that can be easily transported to Christchurch.

What our customers say about us

"I must tell you how happy I am with my new portable unit which I looked at yesterday - looking forward to it being ready for me to move into when I get back from my trip to the UK. My friend Murray was very impressed with the unit too and the high standard of it. So we were two happy people - despite the pouring rain - when we left Wellington after our viewing."


Rosemary, Masterton

Norma was an absolute pleasure to deal with! Beginning to end, communication was immediate and always friendly. Our 2 bedroom building we had was awesome, very spacious and comfortable. The kids and I loved having our own space at the family home =)"


Monique, Wainuiomata

We love our home, it's so warm and cosy. We are so happy we decided to go with Able Spaces, After much deliberation on homes, even the one that has just recently been on Fair Go, I talked with that guy for weeks, the poor people who followed through, had their money taken and no home! Norma you have been amazing and delivered on everything we wanted. You are a very honest Director of your company. We have no hesitation in recommending Able Spaces Homes"

Why Choose Transportable Houses?

If you’re thinking about getting a new house and you’re on a budget, modular homes are a great option. Our prefabricated homes are the perfect choice for anyone who wants a convenient and affordable home without a huge mortgage.

Buying a new home is a huge challenge for many people these days. With a high-quality kitset home from Able Spaces, you can take the hassle out of the buying process, and you’ll get a beautiful and comfortable place to live without the expenses normally associated with buying a standard property.

The building process is fast, and we offer a wide range of spaces with different floor plans to meet your needs, like the Tasman, the Holborn and the Hiropi. Whether you want a family home or a tiny home for one, we’ve got the perfect modular building for you. And because our building timeframes are shorter than standard home builds, you could be enjoying your new property in no time at all.

While we don’t have a show home, you can visit by appointment to view homes before they leave the workshop to get an idea of what you can expect.
Whether you’re in Christchurch or situated somewhere else in the Canterbury region or in the North Island, we can get your new home to you wherever you may need it. Contact us to find out how we can help you today.
