For those planning to build in tropical North Queensland, Wide Span Homes provides durable and practical Kit Homes in Cairns, designed to complement the local lifestyle and withstand the region’s unique conditions. Whether you're expanding with one of our granny flats in Cairns or planning a larger home, our steel kit homes provide a strong and reliable solution.
When choosing building materials, it’s essential to consider not just durability but also sustainability. Steel is the ideal choice, offering long-term performance while reducing environmental impact. It is 100% recyclable and resists rot, warping, twisting, and termites - ensuring that homes built today will stand strong for future generations.
Cairns is all about embracing the outdoors, and our designs reflect that. With spacious layouts, high ceilings, and the option for wide verandahs, our kit homes help you capture breezes, maximise shade, and enjoy tropical living all year round. Before starting your project, it's important to check local building regulations. Visit the Cairns Regional Council website and speak with the relevant department to ensure your plans meet all requirements.
Trust Wide Span Homes for a home that’s designed tough for North Queensland, offering quality, sustainability, and comfort in every design.
Cyclonic Rated Kit Homes
When planning your project, understanding your local climate and council requirements is essential. We supply steel kit homes designed and engineered to handle tough regional conditions, accommodating site wind classifications up to N4 for non-cyclonic areas and C2 for cyclonic regions.
If your block sits in a high-wind zone or a coastal corridor that demands extra structural reinforcement, we have you covered. Explore our specialised range of cyclone rated kit homes or talk to our Kit Homes Specialist today to discuss your site's specific engineering requirements.

Options to build your kit home
At Wide Span Homes, we focus on supplying quality kit homes. When it is time to build, we always suggest choosing a reliable builder to complete the project.
You can be assured that your kit home will be constructed using the highest-quality materials and backed by our 20-year warranty. The most common approaches are:
Building it Yourself
If you’re a licensed builder, then building your new kit home may be the right choice for you. The kit will come with all components, a detailed construction manual, and any documentation required for your building site to meet council approval.
Project Managing
If you’re handy or a great project manager, then completing your owner builder course and building or managing the project yourself could be the perfect option for you.
Local Builder
Want a hands-off solution? Then connecting with a local builder who is licensed and familiar with constructing kit homes would be the right option for you to ensure a seamless build process.
