Avrame timber-frame houses are used worldwide as full-time residences, holiday homes, and rental properties.
They are energy efficient and bushfire safe. Our A-frame homes are quick and easy to build thanks to their modular design. All materials in our kits are pre-cut and include all assembly components.
Call Chris on 0497 034 612 to find out more or if you would like to visit one of our display homes.
The approval process varies by council and state.
Typically, you will need:
Once you have all these documents you are required to submit a Building Approval (BA) form.
We have gone through this process many times. Avrame will provide you with plans that include detailed views, plans, cross-sections, elevations and foundation sketches.
Call Chris on 0497 034 612 to find out more.
Bushfire compliance is site-specific and depends on your Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment. Avrame homes are fire safe and we have experience in areas with BAL-29. Fire safety measures aligned with Australian Standard AS 3959:2018 include:
For a full list of how this product complies with Australian bushfire restrictions or for our most recent fire-restriction build in an area with BAL-29 call Chris on 0497 034 612
Yes.
We have Avrame homes from Queensland to southernmost Western Australia.
Our homes meet European energy efficiency standards which far exceed all Australian standards. This means heating and cooling is very cost effective.
A-frame geometry performs well structurally due to its shape and low centre of mass making our homes good options in cyclone-prone areas.
Absolutely.
We strongly encourage a conversation early in the process. A short call can help clarify:
This often saves time and avoids false assumptions.
Chris bought and built an Avrame home himself. Call him on 0497 034 612. Early research welcome.
Yes, Avrame homes are highly customisable as they have no load-bearing interior walls. This means that room design and floor plans are completely customisable.
Additional customisation can include additional windows, larger dormers, second story extensions and connecting multiple A-frame houses.
Call Chris on 0497 034 612 for more information. No commitment, just clarity.
Interior room design is free.
Additional customisation starts at ~$600 AUD.

These components are not included as they are price competitive locally. All kit components are made in Europe and outcompete locally produced components.
This reduces the amount of container space needed in your delivery.
Yes, windows, doors and structural elements are all included. For a comprehensive list of everything that is included call Chris on 0497 034 612 or send us an email
Common options include:
For advice on which sort of foundation could suit your project give Chris a call on 0497 034 612.
Yes, a solution with full basement is easily doable.
A-frames need just 3 support points. They can be supported by a metal beam in the middle and by the stone part on the sides.
Insulation is sourced locally. Commonly compatible options include:
For more information, give Chris a call on 0497 034 612.
Avrame homes are compatible with all heating systems, such as:
Importantly, Avrame’s thermotreated pine is wider than typical Australian machine grade pine (MGP), allowing you to pack more insulation between the roofing and interior walls. This means you can meet passive‑house heat efficiency standards and significantly reduce heating costs.
You can install any kind of ventilation system in your Avrame home.
Our homes are a great product for natural ventilation, but are also compatible with mechanical ventilation. Our homes have a higher floor to ceiling height, and all the awnings have a tri-lock system designed for optimal ventilation.
For more information give our building consultant and Avrame distributor Chris a call on 0497 034 612
Yes.
A-frame geometry performs well structurally due to its shape and low centre of mass making our homes good options in cyclone-prone or seismic areas.
We have built in cyclone-prone and seismic areas around the world.
Payment terms are:
Delayed deposit might cause delays in the delivery.
With proper construction and maintenance, timber homes can last for generations.
Maintenance is similar to other timber houses, mainly involving external cladding upkeep every 5–10 years.
For the warranty information about a particular component please call Chris on 0497 034 612
Yes.
Avrame homes are ideal for off-grid living as they are very energy efficient, reducing the power consumption of heating and cooling.
Our building consultant Chris built his Avrame home entirely off-grid. Give Chris a call on 0497 034 612 to learn more.
Before going off‑grid, consider:
Planning these early is essential. Call our building consultant and Chris on 0497 034 612 to hear how he managed these in his own off‑grid Avrame home.
