The 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home, a sip panel kit from QuickBuild Homes, is published at $89,000 to $270,000 for the kit and covers 646 square feet.
QuickBuild Homes does not publish a wind rating or a snow load for this model, so 19 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
81 percent of the fields we score are backed by something QuickBuild 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.

What the maker says it resists
Design capability as published. Not a certification, not a rating of your house, and not proof against anything.
| Engineered wind speed | Not published |
|---|---|
| Roof snow capability | Not published |
| Seismic | Resilience page states 'no house can withstand a major earthquake - not even a QuickBuild home', but that their homes use no GIB so there are no cracking wall linings, and the kitset design delivers a stronger, more resilient home. No seismic zone or design load figure published. |
| Fire | 'QuickBuild Homes are made with inflammable panels' (their wording, on https://www.qbh.co.nz/build-a-resilient-home). No fire rating or test reference published. |

What else we found
This 60 m2 two-bedroom model is $135,000 inc GST (=646 sq ft, converted by me at 10.7639); total footprint 10 m x 6.0 m. The price range I recorded spans the whole published plan list: $89,000 inc GST for the 43 m2 one-bedroom up to $270,000 inc GST for the 156 m2 four- and five-bedroom homes. 'Built in Just 6 Weeks' is their published build time on the plans page - it is a build duration claim, not a manufacturing lead time, so treat with care. MBIE MultiProof is a genuine New Zealand statutory pre-approval and is the strongest code credential in this whole dataset. The 'overall 20% warmer than building code standard' figure is a marketing framing of the R-values.

Questions people ask about the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home
Answered from what QuickBuild Homes publishes, including the answers that are "they do not say".
How much does the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home cost?
QuickBuild Homes publishes $89,000 to $270,000. Kitset includes structurally insulated floor, wall and roof panels (pre-cut, pre-drilled for services, fully pre-painted, 0.6mm NZ Steel with a ColorMaxx option for high-corrosion areas); galvanised steel piles and galvanised steel bearers, each numbered; powder-coated aluminium door frames, skirtings, covings and trims; double glazed Low-E argon thermally broken aluminium windows; kitchen with oven, induction hob and rangehood; bathroom fittings; carpet and vinyl flooring; electrical including a 4kW heat pump, switchboard and meter box; plumbing and hot water; spouting and downpipes; all fixings and sealants; decks and steps.

What wind speed is the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home engineered to?
QuickBuild 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 QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home roof take?
QuickBuild Homes does not publish a snow load for this model. Around one maker in twenty does.
Can you actually buy the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home?
Yes. QuickBuild Homes takes orders for this model today.
What foundation does the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home need?
QuickBuild Homes publishes: Galvanised steel piles with galvanised steel bearers; minimum floor level 600mm above ground; can be raised 1m to avoid flooding at minimal extra cost
How well does the QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home 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 QuickBuild Homes 60sqm, 2 Bedroom Kitset Home 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.
