”From” Price Explained: What Does It Really Include?

💰 From Price Explained: What Does It Really Include?

If you’ve ever looked at kitset homes, cabins, or sheds on Kit Set Go, you’ve probably seen the term “From Price” and thought:

“Wait… does that mean everything, or am I going to be hit with hidden costs?” 😅

Let’s break it down so you know exactly what “From Price” really means.

🏷 What “From Price” Means

The “From Price” is usually the starting price a supplier lists for a kitset or fully built home. Think of it like a base model car — it gives you an idea, but it doesn’t always include the extras you might need.

It’s designed to show you the lowest possible cost for that product, so you can compare suppliers quickly.

🔍 What’s Usually Included

• Basic kitset or shell: walls, roof, floor, and basic structure

• Standard design and layout (often the smallest size option)

• Sometimes delivery to your region

Important: This is the bare bones — exactly what you see in the “from price.”

🛠 What’s Often NOT Included

Here’s where costs can sneak up:

• Site works – leveling, foundations, driveways

• Council consent fees – required for most builds in NZ

• Plumbing & electrical – unless specified

• Interior finishes – flooring, paint, kitchen, bathroom

• Optional upgrades – bigger size, extra rooms, premium materials

• Tradespeople – unless you’re doing a fully built package

Basically, the “From Price” is just the starting point, not the total price to move in.

✅ How to Use “From Price” Wisely

1. Compare suppliers – it gives a fair starting point

2. Ask what’s included – get the full breakdown before committing

3. Plan your budget for extras – foundations, finishes, consents

4. Check timelines – a cheap “from price” might take longer if you’re managing the build

🏡 Quick Tip

Think of “From Price” like a menu item — it tells you the base option. If you want the deluxe version, you need to know what’s extra! 🍔➡️🍟➡️🥤

Using Kit Set Go, you can compare prices side-by-side and see what each supplier includes in their “From Price” — so you never get caught out.
