iBuild Building Solutions has no published price.

iBuild Building Solutions does not publish a wind rating, a snow load or a price for this model, so 62 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

38%

38 percent of the fields we score are backed by something iBuild Building Solutions 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.

The Kit Home Finder Grade

Not ratedNot rated, which is the absence of a score rather than a bad one. We could not rate buyability or cost honesty, and a grade needs two of the three, so the materials and carbon tier score we do have stands on its own below. This says nothing about how the kit performs. A maker can publish an excellent wind and snow rating and still be unrateable here, because this grade measures whether you can buy it, whether the price is honest, and what it is made of.

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.

Build difficultyNot published
This maker publishes nothing about who erects it, and the structural system does not settle it either. Ask them who does the assembly, whether a crane is needed, and how many people for how long.

What the maker says it resists

Design capability as published. Not a certification, not a rating of your house, and not proof against anything.

Price

Not published

This maker publishes no price. That is the single most common gap in the Index, and it is the first thing to ask them.

What that number coversKits are sold by stage: lock-up stage home kits, lining stage home kits, final stage home kits, plus optional floor kits when an elevated floor is chosen instead of a concrete slab. Lock-up kit inclusions listed include prefabricated trusses, prefabricated wall frames, bracing and tie-downs, verandah beams/posts/rafters/brackets, site installation manual, design and certification for structure, BGC Duraplank FC weatherboards or Hardiplank equivalent, fibre cement eaves and verandah sheets, wall wrap and insulation.

What else we found

Wind and fire basis recorded verbatim: 'indicative pricing for our wide range of kit homes, based on N3 wind rating and BAL-low'. N3 is an AS 4055 wind classification, not a wind speed, so max_wind_mph is null. Actual prices are behind a downloadable PDF that I did not open, so price_low/price_high are null. Bunnings is named as their major national material supplier.

Questions to send this maker

Generated from what they left blank. Every one of these is a thing they could answer today and have chosen not to publish. Copy them into an email. If they answer, tell us and we will update this page with the citation.

  • What does this cost, in dollars, and exactly which build stages does that number cover?
  • What design wind speed is this model engineered to, in miles per hour, and at what Risk Category and Exposure Category?
  • What ground snow load can the roof carry, in pounds per square foot, and is that the ground load or the roof load?
  • What Seismic Design Category will you engineer this model to, and is that included or a paid upgrade?
  • What is the wall R value, and is that nominal insulation or a tested whole assembly value including thermal bridging?
  • What is the roof R value, and is it nominal or whole assembly?
  • What is the finished square footage of this model?
  • What is the lead time in weeks from deposit to delivery, right now?

Across the whole Index, the average kit publishes about a quarter of what a buyer needs. This maker is at 38 percent.

Questions people ask about the iBuild Building Solutions

Answered from what iBuild Building Solutions publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".

How much does the iBuild Building Solutions cost?

iBuild Building Solutions publishes no price for this model. Across the whole Index only about a third of makers publish a price in dollars at all.

What wind speed is the iBuild Building Solutions engineered to?

iBuild Building Solutions 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 iBuild Building Solutions roof take?

iBuild Building Solutions does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.

Can you actually buy the iBuild Building Solutions?

Yes. iBuild Building Solutions takes orders for this model today.

What foundation does the iBuild Building Solutions need?

iBuild Building Solutions publishes: Concrete slab, or elevated floor using an optional floor kit; they also sell an Adjustable Steel Stump Kit

How well does the iBuild Building Solutions 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 iBuild Building Solutions 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.

How it compares

It documents more than the average steel frame kit, 38 percent against 23, and more than 28 of the other 31 we hold. Makers in Australia publish something about fire far more often than the Index as a whole, 24 percent of the 17 we hold there, usually because their building rules ask for it.

Computed across all 514 kit homes in the Index, 32 of them steel frame. Recomputed on every build.
