The backyard, done, from
$305,800

Inc GST. The home, the deck and the low end of the on-site range, which is a standard block: truck to within 50m, firm ground, sewer and water at the boundary. A harder block moves the site line and nothing else, to $368,800. At list, with the Covered Deck, $316,700. Roof on us for the next three homes to sign.

Their price is a deposit on a bigger number.Ours is the number.

Four things, and only the first one runs out. The roof over the deck at $0, for the next three homes to sign. Then, on every job: your builder's quote lands inside the published on-site range or comes back with the reason it does not, before you sign. If the Pre-Planning Report says your block cannot take a home, the report is on us. And the home is paid half on signing, half at practical completion, after your inspection.

Ways to buy the Family 13.5

You choose where we stop.

Every module leaves the same line at Laceys Creek. How finished it is when it leaves is up to you.

All prices include GST. Rungs 00 to 04 are ex factory. Installed is a range because certification, footings, access and services move with the block, and it is quoted exactly after a free site check.

Complete home, two tiers

A tier says how much you get. Not what it looks like.

Two tiers, and the only thing separating them is spec. Decks, solar and tanks sit outside both: those are decisions about your site, not about the module.

The entry build

Base

$199,900inc GST · ex factory

A complete, certified dwelling in the entry version of every finish. The price at the top of this page.

  • Corrugated Colorbond cladding
  • Laminate benchtop, gas cooktop
  • Vinyl plank flooring
  • One 2.5kW split system
Most people buy this

Premium

$232,900inc GST · ex factory

Our normal build. It changes the two most visible things on the module, and the one nobody regrets.

  • Weathertex Weathergroove cladding
  • Sintered stone benchtop
  • Oven and rangehood
  • Hybrid timber flooring
  • R2.0 underfloor insulation
  • Two ceiling fans

Base is not a stripped shell. It is a complete, certified Class 1a dwelling with a kitchen, a bathroom, air conditioning and hot water. Bushfire is not a tier: if the map puts your land in a BAL zone, that is a site requirement priced on top of whichever tier you picked.

The plan

Every metre earns its keep.

Two bedrooms at opposite ends, living between them. That is deliberate: it is what makes it work for two adults who are not a couple.

Every 4.0m-wide module travels over-width with a pilot vehicle, and that is in the Backyard Done number. Delivery is quoted by postcode. Full-service install across South East Queensland, delivered Australia-wide.

The Deck and the Covered Deck

A deck the length of the house. Craned on with it.

Full module length by 3.0m deep. Merbau boards on a galvanised steel subframe with one stair set, and a roof over it if you want one.

Deck13.5m × 3.0m. Merbau on a galvanised steel subframe, one stair set.$26,900 placed
The roof over itGalvanised posts and an insulated Bondor panel. A lined ceiling, not a tin lid.$10,900
Covered DeckThe two above, as one product.$37,800 placed

Merbau is one of only seven species AS 3959 names, so it holds at BAL-29 with no surcharge. At BAL-40 the boards have to change. Take the Backyard Done offer and the roof is on us, for the next three homes to sign.

On wheels

Put it on a trailer base instead.

A hot-dip galvanised chassis supplied in place of the steel skid, not added on top. It is a foundation, not a vehicle: at 4.0m wide the Family 13.5 still travels by truck under an oversize permit, and the trailer is what it lands on.

  • We do not register them. Road registration is not something Outhaus sells.
  • It does not remove council approval. Queensland local laws cap how long you can occupy something on wheels, and the cap moves council to council.
  • Built to the same standard, though whether a certifier signs a Form 21 on a registered chassis is still open.
Trailer base, Family 13.5
$24,900in place of the skid, inc GST

Towable is a different product. The Roadhaus range is 2.5m wide on a registered chassis. A Family 13.5 on a trailer base is not a Roadhaus and it is not towable.

Choose your finish

Three finish series. Same house underneath.

A finish series sets the palette and the fixture finish. It is not a tier and it costs the same in Base or Premium. Chosen at contract stage.

Family 13.5 in the Light Haus finish
Coastal · modern

Light Haus

Clean and light-toned. Pale cladding, light cabinetry, neutral walls, matte tiles, brushed nickel fixtures. Suits open land and a lot of natural light.

See it at the
Clayfield display home
Warm · natural

Earth Haus

Organic and tactile. Timber-tone cabinetry, warm neutrals, textured tiles, brushed brass fixtures. Suits rural land and a natural landscape.

Family 13.5 in the Dark Haus finish
Bold · moody

Dark Haus

Architectural and high contrast. Dark cladding and cabinetry, deep wall tones, charcoal tiles, gunmetal fixtures. Suits bush settings and modern land.

Layouts are fixed and we do not customise them individually. That is how the design quality, the build efficiency and the pricing accuracy hold together. Full material selections for each series are available on request, and you can see all three at the Clayfield display home.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is in the $199,900?
The complete Family 13.5 to Base spec, finished inside and out, standing at Laceys Creek. A certified Class 1a dwelling, not a shell. What it does not include is the site half: getting it to your land, onto footings, connected and approved.
So what does the site half cost?
It depends on your block, which is why we do not publish one number for it. On a Family 13.5 the site half runs $79,000 to $142,000 inc GST: certification and approvals, footings, delivery and crane, plumbing and electrical. That puts the home standing on your block at $278,900 to $341,900. Your exact figure comes back as a fixed Binding Estimate within 7 days of the site check.
Will it fit on my block?
Free to answer. Send your address and we place the module on your land, check the overlays and setbacks and tell you what fits. Start with the Site Check, or take the certifier-led Pre-Planning Report at $750 + GST, credited to your build.
Do I need council approval?
Yes. A secondary dwelling is a building and it needs a certifier, and in most cases a council approval. Under The Backyard, Done we manage that end to end and a QBCC-licensed builder carries the job.
Can I buy it part built and finish it myself?
Yes. Buy the drawings at $4,900, take the flat-packed Kit at $93,900, or have us build it weathertight to Lock-up at $121,900, all inc GST and ex factory. Every rung is a real product with a real price.

What you get back

  • Does it fit. The Family 13.5 drawn on your block, setbacks in.
  • Can we get to it. Truck and crane access can stop a job outright.
  • What it costs on your land. A fixed Binding Estimate within 7 days.
  • Or a straight no. Some blocks do not work. We would rather say it now.
