FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we make design changes to suit our needs?	Q: Are the homes built strong and cyclone rated?
A: Yes! We can accommodate most changes, as long as they fit within the limits of transportation i.e. a home section (module) cannot exceed 18 metres in length or 4.2 metres in width.	A: Yes! Halley Homes are constructed from the highest quality materials and meet Australian Building Standards’ cyclone rating W41N or N3 STD
Q: Does splitting the house for transportation weaken it?	Q: I have not built a home before. Do I have to deal with council?
A: No. Transportable homes are built differently than homes constructed on site. Our homes can withstand travelling thousands of kilometres because we build on a solid Duragal steel base and brace all external walls before cladding is attached. This gives the walls the strength to cope with the rigours of moving.	A: No. You have complete peace of mind with your Halley Homes purchase. We handle all council applications, soil testing and any other regulatory issues under most circumstances.
Q: What work will I need to do when I get my new home on site?	Q: What if something needs repairing or doesn’t work with our new home?
A: We hand over your home when it’s completed to the contract specification you signed with us. You only need to have your plumber and electrician connect services.	A: We provide all the applicable warranties relating to every aspect of your new home. Plus you have the confidence of knowing we have a full time Client Services Manager who will help you with any queries.
