Planning a relocatable home project involves more than just choosing the right house. To ensure the process runs smoothly, it’s essential to assess whether your property is suitable for relocation and understand local council regulations. This is where a Site Audit Report becomes invaluable. A Site Audit Report provides a comprehensive evaluation of your land, giving you the facts you need to move forward with confidence, saving you time, money and potential headaches.
Why a Site Audit Report is Crucial
A Site Audit Report helps you make informed decisions. Without it, you risk purchasing land or a relocatable home that may not be suitable for your needs. Council regulations, site conditions and zoning requirements can all affect whether your chosen site is appropriate. The report ensures you understand these factors before committing to any major investment.
Let’s look at some case studies about how a Site Audit Report helped three individuals make better decisions in their relocatable home projects.
Case Study: The Watsons’ Smart Investment
The Watsons were considering buying a piece of land but weren’t sure if it could accommodate a relocatable home. They contacted TRHCo to discuss their options. After a brief consultation, we recommended they get a Site Audit Report to assess the suitability of the land.
Our lead designer worked closely with them, contacting the local council, preparing site plans, and creating a detailed report. The results were clear: the site they had in mind was not suitable for the type of home they wanted due to factors like zoning restrictions and land topography. While the Watsons spent $899 on the report, it saved them thousands of dollars and avoided the emotional stress of purchasing a site that wouldn’t work.
Had they moved forward without a report, they might have faced additional costs for modifications or even been forced to choose a different property altogether.
Case Study: Robbie’s Perfect Fit
Robbie was eager to purchase a property and select the perfect house, but he didn’t want to rush into the decision. Following our advice, he opted for a Site Audit Report before finalising his purchase.
Our design team reviewed his site plans and discovered that the land was located in an extra high wind zone. This discovery led us to recommend a specific house with brick cladding that was perfectly suited to high wind areas. Initially, Robbie had overlooked this option because of its appearance, but after the audit, he realized it was the best choice for his property.
By having the Site Audit Report, Robbie avoided wasting time and money on an unsuitable property. The report not only saved him from selecting the wrong house but also helped him get the right home that met all local council specifications. Robbie was able to move forward quickly and confidently, knowing the house and site would be a perfect match.
Case Study: Mark’s Hassle-Free Planning
Mark, already owning a site, found a house he loved but wanted to make sure it would fit. Our design team evaluated his site to ensure it met council-required setbacks, space for outdoor living areas, service connections, and turning requirements for delivery.
Thanks to the Site Audit Report, Mark was able to proceed with his project without any surprises. He got the required council consents, and our team created a design that maximised both indoor and outdoor living spaces. With the report in hand, Mark’s project moved forward smoothly without delays or complications.
How a Site Audit Report Saves You Time and Money
A Site Audit Report takes the guesswork out of your relocatable home project. Whether you’re in the early stages of selecting land or finalising your plans for a relocatable home, the report helps you make informed decisions that save both time and money.
- Avoid costly mistakes: A detailed site assessment can prevent you from buying a property or home that doesn’t meet your needs or council regulations
- Save time: With the report’s clear insights, you avoid unnecessary delays dealing with the council or redesigning your project

A Site Audit Report is an essential tool for anyone planning a relocatable home project. By evaluating the suitability of your site and ensuring it meets all relevant regulations, the report provides the information needed to avoid costly mistakes, save time, and proceed with confidence. Just like the Watsons, Robbie and Mark, you can make the best decisions for your project, ensuring a smoother and more successful relocatable home experience.
