The Kitset home guide – everything you need to know about kit homes

Kitset homes have become a really popular option in New Zealand in recent years, and it’s little wonder why – they’re often extremely cost effective, and the range of designs are increasingly versatile. A real sense of achievement is afforded those who choose to build their own kit house instead of hiring a builder as well. Fraemohs Homes are one of the original kitset home manufacturers in New Zealand, having been founded by Danish immigrant Monni Fraemohs back in 1968. Kit homes had long been popular throughout Scandinavia, and Monni essentially applied the Scandinavian method of kit home design and build to New Zealand, making the most of the unique and abundant natural timber resources on offer. The following information on kitset homes is available for anyone interested in the topic of kit homes.
