average price per m2

One of our major motivations at ehabitat is to make good design and environmental responsibility accessible to the broadest range of people. For this reason we have always strived to make ehabitat an affordable housing option.

cost bands    
lock up $1100 -  $1400* per m2
basic finish $1800 -  $2200* per m2
superior finish $2200 -  $2600* per m2

This is quite incredible when you consider that you are getting a modern, custom designed home, of exceptional strength and durability right at the low end of building costs in Australia. Don’t forget the ongoing cost savings in heating and cooling due to the superior passive solar design.

*This price does not include council fees or footing/subfloor costs as they are region dependent.

how do we do it?


efficiently manufactured eframe

- Manufactured using fast, precision instruments and accurate jigs with little waste.
- components interlock for reduced transport costs.

speed of ‘on site’ construction
- Patented system goes up before your very eyes.
- ehabitat has spent lots of time with builders to work out how to make the eframe easy for them to put together.
- Typically the time from the start of your eframe assembly until the time you can move in is 18 weeks. This is approximately half the time required for other custom designed homes and therefore saves you up to half the usual labour fees.

the use of ‘off the shelf’ cladding materials
- This means little or no cutting and therefore very little waste.
- Glass for fixed windows does not need to come with a frame. eframe is the frame! (frame cost is typically more than 50% of the price of standard window manufacture).
