A transportable building maker in Russley, Christchurch, that builds homes, sleepouts, studios and site offices, and offers custom designs. Russley Portables is at 656 Wairakei Road. The website says it provides design, permits, construction and site work, that buildings are anchored on site, and that each building complies with council regulations and gets consent. Its standard designs can be modified, and it also offers a new range of traditional buildings built with conventional materials, including Gib and painted finishes. Show homes are on site to view, by arrangement.
The website lists standard designs with starting prices as at 2026, excluding delivery, professional services and siteworks: the Kurow three-bedroom at 69.9m² from $206,000, the Methven two-bedroom at 63m² from $198,000, and the Koru three-bedroom at 78m² from $210,000. Reviewers describe a patient, helpful team, with designs they were happy with, and one says a two-bedroom house designed for land on the West Coast was well handled. Another says a new three-bedroom unit for a holiday park was built well, and one says the job was on time and on budget, with some help needed onsite at handover.
