00:06I didn't want to get locked into the mortgage trap that I see and so I thought I'll go for a tiny house.
00:13He felt the tiny homes on offer were too small, so he found a factory built solution.
00:19Having delivered my house and moved in, sort of turned to my builder and said,
00:24hey, we can't stop at one. There is this housing crisis in Australia and there's a lack of options.
00:30Manufactured in China, then mounted on a commercial truck trailer.
00:34To avoid planning restrictions by being counted as caravans, they can be combined to make bigger homes.
00:40And Mr McGinley says he could supply a thousand a month.
00:44I can deliver this tiny house on wheels in a day.
00:47And if I was building it as a modular house on the ground, it's two to four weeks.
00:52Over the border in Queanbeyan, manufacturer Andrew Copley says it makes sense to use
00:57pre-made structurally insulated panels, like these ones which have a foam core
01:02sandwiched between structural facings like chip rock.
01:05They go together like Lego pieces and the sustainability aspect,
01:08so they're highly efficient for energy efficiency ratings.

01:17In America, they'll come and inspect your factory, they'll look over your building methods,
01:21they'll look at your engineered drawings, and as long as you meet those set criterias,
01:25and you tick all the boxes like your setbacks are within the requirements,
01:28the house size is within the requirements, it's an automatic approval.
01:31The peak body agrees prefabricated solutions are needed.
01:35It reduces the time to build a home, a standalone home, by up to 50%,
01:39and it can reduce the cost of builds by up to 20%.
01:42There may be the opportunity through procurement standards that the ACT government might set for public housing,

02:06There's no part of its pattern called Brub get advanced straws.
