Profile
The homes are environmentally sustainable, energy responsible product. Attention is concentrated on passive solar design that enables comfortable living in climates as different as Hobart and Darwin without the necessity for air conditioning.
Gateway Homes manufactures high quality pre-assembled and transportable and relocatable buildings through its unique construction system.
The Takeaway™ series of factory built housing has been in development for over 30 years by world renowned architect Gabriel Poole, and has come to fruition with the collaboration in of builders Jim and Penny Margach of Gateway Constructions.
Each home is prefabricated in the Gateway Homes factory, including all fittings, electricity and plumbing, ready to be pieced together and connected to facilities on site. This allows each component to be tuned towards cost efficiency.
The new building system allows homes to be constructed or prefabricated in a factory, containerised and then transported.
Takeaways are truly modular, allowing custom designs for your requirements. Modules can even be added on at a later date.
