Modular Paradise in Glenorchy

" When we starting to look at options for the build on our property in Glenorchy we decided that a relocatable / modular option was the best method of construction due to the isolation of Glenorchy from Queenstown and the fluctuating weather of the area. A factory-built home can be undertaken in a controlled environment, to better quality and shorter time frames than a conventional build.

We looked at a number of relocatable house builders, however Arbol was the standout company of those we looked at, what attracted us was the enthusiasm and passion of Marcus and Todd plus their ability to offer an energy efficient, well insulated home with attractive detailing and finishes that would fit well on our site. We could see that Arbol had a “point of difference”.

The build process was very straight forward; it was easy to visit the Arbol factory in Cromwell to agree finishes and view the high quality of detailing and finishing. The Arbol team were always happy to walk us around the build and explain the detailing and materials used to achieve an energy efficient / eco home. The 3 modular units were completed in less than 14 weeks and delivered within a week of our agreed completion date.

If was an exciting moment for us to see the modules come together over 2 days, what an instant transition from our bare building platform.

We have had the pleasure of living in our new holiday home over the last 4 months, we just love being there, the house has been amazingly warm and dry over the winter months, while we have 2 heat pumps, these are soon turned off as the ventilation heat recovery system maintains a comfortable temperature.

The Birch Ply lining crates a wonderful ambiance to the house.

We have been pleasantly surprised how low our power bills have been over the winter, this is due we believe to the materials, services and detailing Arbol have adopted in their Eco Homes.

In conclusion we would highly recommend Arbol as a relocatable / modular home builder, they have developed a “niche” product and are specialists in their field. "

He was very impressed.. with everything.
You all most need another sign here. "

"The most noticeable thing about our Arbol house is the warmth. The sun only has to be out for an hour or so and the house remains warm until bedtime. The place feels centrally heated when you walk in from the cold, and that's without any internal heating. The opposite occurs in summer. On a hot day, the house is usually cooler inside than outside. Steady internal temperature is a real feature of our home. " - October 2025
