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.

Yes, container cabins are considered, in most councils, as a Class 1a building structure, therefore a council permit will be required. We work with you to engage a private certifier to make this a seamless process. This will consist of a full set of drafted plans including a site plan showing the location of the cabin, along with all the relevant forms from specific trades i.e. Engineer, water-proofer, plumber, electrician, etc. 

A local builder or owner builder permit is required  to site the cabin onto your property. 

All services within the cabin are set and ready to go. All you need is the relevant tradesperson to connect them to your property and provide their completion certificates for the certifier. 

The Quokka models start from $49,990, see our Range page for more information. Other prices to factor in is: Council permits, concrete foundations, delivery, add on deck pods, and any other option you may want.
