What about availability? We have hire rooms becoming available all the time so please contact us or check our our "Current Availability Page" to see what is ready to be hired NOW and what may be available in the coming weeks. 

New Rooms - we build new rooms regularly can often custom build one for you if your timeframe allows, the normal wait is approximately 8 weeks on a room becoming available or being completed for you.   

Minimum Hire Term - Our minimum hire term is 6 months, but beyond that you can keep your room for as long as you want. 

What if you are renting your property or do not own your property? No problems, we will require written permission from your landlord or the owner of the property to say that it is ok to place the portable hire room on the property.


Step 2 - Determine Access at your Property

All our 2.5m wide rooms portable hire rooms are delivered using our specialised hydraulic trailer and can be moved like a caravan on any public road. This makes delivery to you easy and inexpensive. 

Your land will need to be reasonably level and well drained. Our rooms sit on adjustable steel legs, so there is no need for footings or a concrete slab. They can be placed on grass, gravel or pavers. 

2.5m wide rooms - We require minimum access of 2.8m wide by 3m high for our trailer to reach your preferred room site. 

3m wide rooms are considered a "wide load" and are required by law to be delivered on a HYAB crane truck. Minimum access requirements is 3.5m wide by 3.5m high. 

Delivery Costs - Once access for our trailer has been established we offer FREE delivery for 2.5m wide rooms to within 3 hours of our factory at Somersby on the NSW Central Coast. (includes Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong and as far north as Port Macquarie) 

For 3m wide rooms HYAB costs are priced based on your location and specific property, we are happy to quote for this option. As a guide, if you are within 3 hours of our factory costs range from $300.00 to $800.00. 

Can hire rooms be craned? In some instances yes, all our HYAB contractors can lift rooms over a fence or small structure if you have rear or side access. Contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

What about over a house? We can offer this service if your property is suitable for craning, costs are usually around the $1500.00 to $2000.00 mark and we will ask for a larger bond in this instance. Again contact us for more details.  

We are here to help - We offer in person or virtual site inspections to help you decide if you have access for one of our portable hire rooms and if they will be suitable for your property.
