An age old argument here Building company vs Builder vs Owner builder. Owner builders have to hire contractors, usually at a higher cost than builders, and pay for materials and other labour.
Charge yourself what you like. There will be a loss of income while owner building a home. This needs serious thought in the case of a full time build. The time it takes to complete the project may be up to 6 months or more. When it all added up, the real cost was an even race between owner building and going through a building company, even with lost wages. And I had the adventure of building my own home.

After you receive the builder packet, you will need to get it engineered for your specific location and submit the floor plans for a building permit. After you receive your building permit, contact us to schedule a day for the panelized kit to arrive.
That date will depend of when your home gets on our production schedule and when your onsite contractor has completed the excavation footings, foundation, and is ready to receive the panelized kit. We always do our best to work with your schedule. Do you have model units we can come see?

Any off-grid options such as solar would be completed by a local electrician or solar installer you hire find in your location. In summary, yes, your home can be off grid and solar, but that desire has nothing to do with the panelized kit or products we sell.
That addition would be installed by a local contractor. How long will my home last? Will you sell to homeowners or only to general contractors? The savings in building our home were enormous! This saving made building such a home affordable and within our reach. We were told that it could be done and because they had all the details of our house on record it was arranged very quickly. Throughout the entire building process, Kitome staff were on hand to sort out any issues that arose. We could not have asked for better guidance and help during the building process which at times was a bit daunting given the size of the project that we had decided to undertake.
We would not hesitate in recommending Kitome to anyone thinking of building their own home. We drew inspiration from the numerous visits to different display homes and a stack of magazines. Once we decided exactly what we wanted we contacted Kitome and they helped tailor a home to suit our individual needs.
The result is a timeless home where visitors are greeted by ornate pillars and a lovely, sweeping wraparound veranda. For the most part, the whole process was extremely smooth sailing. We chose Kitome after investigating other ways to design and build our own home.
We have a friend in Gundaroo who has built a Kitome and we had a look, liked the look and decided to look closer at designs available on your website. We liked the look of the Harrington immediately and dreamed of one day building one. We have a large rural block with an elevated position that needed a good looking country look homestead to really take advantage of the views and north facing aspect. After discovering that there was a Kitome branch in Canberra we contacted them and met the team.
The Canberra team were very helpful and interested in what we were trying to create. After a couple of visits putting our thoughts into a plan we decided to go ahead and obtain a quote. The quote was acceptable and allowed us to complete the project within budget and no surprises. This also allowed us to use our imaginations and create our own look with kitchen, bathroom and laundry fittings. During the process of planning, negotiation and building of our dream home we have been very happy with the Kitome team both in Canberra and at Emu Plains.
Our home was built without any issues or overspends and we are very happy with the result. I recommend Kitome to others building their dream home who enjoy having input into the finished product with a professional friendly team. For us, building our home was a project we wanted to be heavily involved in from design to construction. Through Kitome we felt we had more control and they assisted us to achieve what we envisioned. At all times Kitome were flexible with ideas and advice to allow us to have a quality home within our budget.
Everyone involved through Kitome were friendly and helpful and always responded promptly to our inquiries. In particular we would like to thank Russell and the team at Emu Plains, who were always willing to assist us in any way required.
