18. Do I need a planning permit? Like any flat
packed kit from cupboards to tables even sporting goods, you don’t
need a permit to buy our flat pack houses. Some of our models may
require a permit depending on your local council. If you don’t know
how to approach them, call a local builder.
19. Do I need an engineer and what will the engineer do?
If you are permanently erecting your module it will be subject to
normal engineering considerations. A builder can help here. If your
installation is temporary, like a shed, not on a slab, then you will
find many benefits from consulting the guidelines in the Building
Code of Australia.
Services
All services like plumbing and electrical will require installation
by a qualified tradesperson. An electrician for wiring & a plumber
should you have water facilities in your module. If you are an owner
builder please check the tradespersons license before commencement
of work.
If you are using a builder, ask them to include these services in
his installation price.

AAA insure the goods to your door. Upon receiving the goods, you
responsible for insurance, as AAA Skilled Solutions takes no

21. Can I add to my dwelling once it is on the site?
Absolutely. AAA Skilled Solutions is very adaptable, inviting
scenarios which suit changes within society, for example; modules
are added over time as the family grows. We also imagine that when
the kids move out the redundant modules could be removed, re-located
or re-sold giving the parents back some outdoor space and some spare
cash.
22. Can you add AAA Skilled Solutions modules to an existing
dwelling?
Renovations and extensions typically take far too long. AAA Skilled
Solutions Modules are well suited to orientation within a typical

offers you access to all we have and more, feel free to look around
download some brochures in PDF and discuss with your builder.
