Compliant with the Australian Building Code
Quokka Cabins are classified within the Australian building code (BCA) as Class 1A detached dwelling and are compliant with the newly revised National Construction Code (NCC) for liveable housing standards. This means, by guiding you through the steps required for council certification and approvals that your zoning requires, you will have a compliant living space addition to your property.
Our cabins also achieve a 7-star energy efficiency rating when appropriately sited on your property. We offer optional deck pods and patio roofing kits that integrate with all our designs. Quokka and our sister company, Deking Decks, have the knowledge and experience to guide you through every step of this process.
