Relocatable Homes Built for Palmerston North and the Manawatu

The clearest first step is to get in touch and, where possible, visit the Cambridge factory show homes. You'll be able to walk through a finished Leisurecom home, see the floor plan in three dimensions, assess the fit-out, and ask questions in context. From that visit, most buyers have a much clearer picture of what they want. Robb or Kevin will then sit down with you to go through your section details, your preferred floor plan and your timeline. You'll receive a fixed price quote. If you proceed, the build goes into our factory schedule. You don't need to manage a site or coordinate tradespeople. We handle the build. You handle the site preparation, including piles, any earthworks and consent, with our guidance.

Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons Palmy buyers come to us. The 70m² Porto is a popular choice for second-dwelling applications. It's compact enough to sit on a suburban section without dominating the yard, but well-specified enough to function as a genuine full-time home. The Featherston Porto we delivered is a real example, bought specifically for second-dwelling use. In Palmerston North, Palmerston North City Council manages consents for second dwellings. The specific requirements depend on your section's zoning, your existing dwelling, and the footprint of the new home. We'll advise on what's involved, and for sub-60m² builds, there are sometimes consent pathways worth exploring.

Pricing depends on the floor plan, your specification choices, and the specifics of your section, particularly the access and pile requirements. What doesn't change is the pricing model: Leisurecom provides a guaranteed fixed price, and that price covers the home delivered to your gate. Site preparation costs, including piles, earthworks and consent, are separate and depend on your specific section. The most useful thing you can do early is get a quote. Bring your section details to us, ideally a site plan and any survey data, and we'll price it accurately. There are no ballpark prices that apply universally. The fixed-price model works because we assess each project properly before quoting.

Narrow access is one of the most common concerns transportable homes Palmy buyers raise with us. Most sites are workable with proper planning. Our Site Manager Murray Driver assesses every delivery route before the truck leaves Cambridge, checking width clearances, overhead lines, turning circles, and any weight-restricted crossings. If your driveway is genuinely too narrow or there's a bridge that can't handle the load, we'll tell you before you sign a contract. For sites where cranage is the better option, we coordinate that too. If you're unsure about your access, call us and describe the route or send photos. We'd rather have that conversation upfront.

It's a question Leisurecom's customers often raise unprompted. Wayne and Nancy Dysart described the quality of their Leisurecom home as "as good if not better than a traditional build." The factory-build process is tightly controlled: the same team, the same materials, the same standards build after build. There are no weather days lost to rain and no materials sitting exposed on a site. By the time your relocatable home arrives on your Palmerston North section, it's been fully built and inspected in a sheltered factory environment. That's a meaningful advantage over a traditional site build, where the quality of individual days' work can vary significantly.
