Why build a Getaway Homes home?

Getaway Homes designs use time-efficient construction techniques and because of the use of pre-manufactured engineered floor and roof trusses, our 4 bedroom x 2 bathroom homes weather permitting can be constructed within four months once starting at site. Getaway Homes/Kib Homes use superior design techniques which reduce building times onsite this creates cost efficiencies for the consumer.

Our construction radius takes in the Perth metropolitan area, all of the south west including Esperance, Kalgoorlie and the north Geraldton region.

Whether it’s your own family home, an investment property or a holiday home, we can help.  Our experienced sales consultants can work with you towards the results you require give us a call on 9309 8999.

The Benefits of Truss Construction

All of our raised, stumped kit homes are environmentally friendly.

Truss building methods seem to originate around the 16th Century with bridge construction. The modern timber roof and floor truss is a self-contained frame engineered and designed to give superior load transfer whilst achieving economies in both timber and time. Today, factory manufacture and computer design assume accuracy “Hi-strength” and sustainability for modern building requirements.

Green at heart

Our home designs are constructed using treated renewable plantation resources, resulting in a near carbon-neutral product.  This is almost the complete opposite of typical steel-framed and clay brick homes that release enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the environment during the manufacturing process.  In opposition, our houses incorporate timber and fibre cement products that have a low embodied energy. Embodied energy is the energy consumed by all of the processes associated with the production of a material.

The amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by manufacturing building materials is highly correlated with its embodied energy. The embodied energy of a fibro-cement clad timber framed wall system can be up to 60% lower than a clay brick wall. Therefore, our plantation-sourced treated timber-framed houses that incorporate fibro-cement products are one of the most energy efficient and environmentally responsible building systems employed in the Australian building industry. Our clients can make a difference to their world by simply choosing to build a smarter way – a timber framed home.
