Kit homes
Kit homes, engineered for the build crew on site.
Kit homes deliver when the parts are buildable by the labour available. CoGrid's three-component steel kit is bolt-together — wrench-only, ground-level, no welders or riggers required.
Kit homes were the original prefab — components shipped in pieces, assembled on site by the build crew. Done well, kit homes give you the schedule and cost benefits of factory production with the flexibility of on-site assembly.
CoGrid is built around the kit-home logic but engineered for modern loadings, multi-storey configurations, and Australian standards. The system is three components: columns, beams, spreaders. All under 16 kg. All bolt together with the same fastener pattern. The chassis lifts itself into place via the water-jacking system — no crane on critical path.
That makes CoGrid suitable for a wide range of kit-home builders: owner-builders working under supervision, regional builders without easy access to specialist trades, master-builders running volume programmes, and government-funded community housing schemes where local labour participation matters.

Frequently asked
Common questions about kit homes.
Is CoGrid actually a kit home?
It's the structural kit. The chassis components ship as a kit and assemble on site. Cladding, services, fit-out, and finishes follow your usual build process. So it sits between traditional 'pure kit home' (where everything ships) and modular (where everything's pre-built).
Can owner-builders use CoGrid?
Yes — subject to local jurisdiction rules around owner-builder qualifications and supervision. The system is engineered for accessibility: no welding, no formwork, no crane. If you can hold a wrench and follow a build sequence, you can build a CoGrid chassis.
What's included in the kit?
The CoGrid components, fastener pack, build documentation, and engineering certification per build. Cladding, doors, windows, and services are sourced separately to your design — same as any conventional build.
