Planning & Building
Do you need council approval for building a SelectHaus cabin?
Each state in Australia has its own legislation when it comes to building a backyard cabin. In addition, local council conditions may apply.
Foundations for your SelectHaus cabin
To build your SelectHaus cabin, you must have a level and stable base available to build on. This requires foundations of some sort to be built. built. Select Haus also offers sub-frames and foundation kits to go with your cabin.
Insulating your SelectHaus cabin
The timber walls of your SelectHaus cabin, particularly those of 44mm or thicker offer a wonderful natural thermal insulation.
How long will a Select Haus cabin build take?
This varies depending on many factors. For example - how competent and/or fast are your builders and how difficult is your site?
A competent builder will take 1-2 days to build a smaller 10m2 cabin. More time is needed for building a sub-frame and foundations if needed, as well as painting.
A larger model up to 20m2 can take up to 10 days to build. A second pair of hands can reduce this substantially, as will availability of some equipment like a nail gun and compressor. You will need to plan time in addition for painting.

What our clients think
We ordered an Ingrid 9,7 model from SelectHaus to serve a number of needs. In is the spill over accommodation for our country home. At other times it’s our relax area or spare work from home area, when I don’t want anybody bothering me. It fits in beautifully with the garden. Buying online from SelectHaus was easy as they helped us with advice to get it built, as we are only enthusiastic beginners.
We decided to get a Sigurdson 13,1. Initially as a yoga and exercise room, for myself and the girls. However, our guests love it! The 44mm solid timber walls and double glazing give excellent insulation in our sometimes-alpine climate. The whole process from ordering to completion was easier than we thought, and a quick price check showed that it cost way less than a similar competitor model with a glossy website. This is not anything like a shed!
