Question 1

Is Modbox able to supply or build throughout NZ?

Can you send a kit overseas to be built by local builders?

Not at the moment. The Triboard kit plus some of the accessories can fit into a 20 foot container leaving the rest of the kit to be supplied locally or delivered in extra containers from NZ. We are interested in helping supply affordable buildings to the islands and are currently working on the logistics to make this possible.
