Panelised woodCan be orderedCoast To Coast Homes ↗
The Okari, a panelised wood kit from Coast To Coast Homes, is published at $112,990 to $188,990 for the kit and covers 840 square feet.
Coast To Coast Homes does not publish a wind rating, a snow load or anything about fire for this model, so 44 percent of the fields we score are blank.
None of that tells you whether it works on your land. Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance are site specific engineering, so the only useful answer comes from running this kit against your address.
Completeness
56 percent of the fields we score are backed by something Coast To Coast Homes published. Why completeness is never part of the grade.
The thing nobody else will tell you
This kit cannot be scored on its own. Nothing on this page tells you whether it works on your land.
Wind, snow, seismic and flood performance come from your address, not from this kit. Put in an address and the gates run against the real requirement at that point.

| Buyability weight 25 | 92 takes orders today, publishes a price, delivers to a stated region |
|---|---|
| Cost honesty weight 25 | 96 publishes a price, publishes a range rather than one misleading number, itemises 7 of 14 build stages, states plainly what the price excludes |
| Materials and carbon tier weight 15 | 80 light wood framing, a lower to middle embodied carbon class |
Rubric v1.0, August 2026. Site fit is not in this grade, because it depends on your land rather than on the kit. Every weight, and what we refuse to grade.

Questions people ask about the Coast To Coast Homes Okari
Answered from what Coast To Coast Homes publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".
How much does the Coast To Coast Homes Okari cost?
Coast To Coast Homes publishes $112,990 to $188,990. Permit plans taken through council with building consent (council fees not included); pre-cut and pre-nailed H1.2 wall framing; gang-nailed engineer-designed H1.2 treated roof trusses; beams, rafters, purlins, roof/soffit framing and ceiling battens; Colorsteel/Colorcoat corrugated or 5-rib longrun roofing with self-supporting underlay, screws, flashings and barges; cladding (Hardie Plank weatherboard, Hardie Axon panel or Shadowclad plywood); building wrap and flashing tape; fascia, soffit, spouting and downpipes; Fairview thermally broken double glazed aluminium joinery; insulation; 10mm GIB linings (Aqualine to wet areas); scotia, skirting, architraves; pre-hung MDF interior doors and wardrobe sliders; door hardware; Peter Hay kitchen with Formica benchtop and Haier oven, cooktop and rangehood; Englefield bathroom suite; 180 L Rinnai hot water cylinder; laundry tub.
What wind speed is the Coast To Coast Homes Okari engineered to?
Coast To Coast Homes does not publish a design wind speed for this model. Only about one kit maker in ten publishes one. Note that "hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, so a page using that phrase without a number has told you nothing.
What snow load can the Coast To Coast Homes Okari roof take?
Coast To Coast Homes does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.
Can you actually buy the Coast To Coast Homes Okari?
Yes. Coast To Coast Homes takes orders for this model today.
What foundation does the Coast To Coast Homes Okari need?
Coast To Coast Homes does not publish foundation options for this model. That matters more than it sounds: in a FEMA A or V flood zone the finished floor has to sit above the base flood elevation, and a kit offered on a slab only cannot get there.
How well does the Coast To Coast Homes Okari stand up to a hurricane or a wildfire?
The honest answer is what it resists, and under what conditions. No kit home is proof against either, and any page telling you otherwise is selling. "Hurricane rated" has no legal definition in the United States, no house can be tornado rated, and whole building certifications like LEED, Passive House and HERS all require a built, sited, inspected home and cannot be attached to a model from a spec sheet. What a maker can honestly tell you is what the design resists and under what conditions. For this model, they publish nothing at all.
Will the Coast To Coast Homes Okari work on my land?
Nothing on any spec sheet can answer that, including this one. Wind, snow, seismic, flood and soil requirements come from your address, not from the kit. The Kit Home Finder runs every kit in the Index against the published hazard data for your point and shows you what survives and why the rest did not. It is free.
