Our Process
At Unearthed Cabins, we’ve streamlined the process from vision to reality. Our fully built, factory-finished cabins are crafted with sustainability and simplicity at the core. Here’s how we bring your dream space to life:
Getting Started is Easy
Step 1 - Talk To Us
Everything starts with a conversation. We’ll take the time to listen to your ideas, understand your property, and learn how you’d like to use your cabin — whether it’s for family getaways, a rental investment, or full-time living.
- We’ll answer your questions
- Discuss what’s possible on your site
- Outline timeframes, costs and what to expect next
This first step helps set the foundations for a smooth and enjoyable journey.
Step 2 - Choose Your Design
Next, explore our carefully crafted cabin designs. Each one is versatile, sustainable, and designed with modern living in mind.
- Select the size and layout that suits your lifestyle
- Consider the number of bedrooms, living spaces, and deck options
- See how the design works with your site and future plans
We’ll help you match the right cabin design to your vision.
Step 3 – Choose Your Materials & Colour Scheme
This is where your cabin starts to feel like yours. We’ll guide you through a selection of high-quality finishes, sustainable materials, and colour palettes.
- Choose external cladding and roofing finishes
- Select internal materials and fittings
- Finalise your colour scheme to reflect your personal style
We’ll make sure your cabin is both practical and beautiful, down to the last detail.
Step 4 – Submit Your Plans
Once your design and selections are locked in, it’s time to prepare the paperwork. We’ll assist with everything required for council approvals and compliance.
- Planning permits
- Energy ratings and reports
- Bushfire, acoustic, or other specialist reports (if required)
- Documentation for council submission
Our team is experienced in navigating these requirements, so you don’t need to feel overwhelmed. We’ll guide and support you through the process. Reports & submissions to council are billed separately by the planner.
Step 5 – Build Your Cabin
With approvals in place, the exciting part begins. Your cabin is handcrafted in our workshop with care and precision, then delivered and installed on your site.
- Built by our skilled team to the highest standard
- On-site installation with attention to detail
- A smooth, efficient process from start to finish
All that’s left is to step inside, relax, and enjoy your new Unearthed Cabin.

Design & Consultation
Every project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand your needs, lifestyle, and the unique character of your site. From there, we guide you through design options, customisations, and finishes to ensure your cabin feels truly yours.
Planning & Approvals
Once the design is finalized, we assist with all relevant planning and building approvals. Our team is well-versed in local regulations and can streamline this often complex step.
Off Site Construction
Your cabin is built from start-to-finish in our controlled factory environment using eco friendly materials and high-quality craftsmanship. This process reduces waste, minimises delays, and ensures a consistently high standard of work, rain or shine.
Delivery & Installation
When your cabin is complete, we carefully transport it to your site. Because the cabin is already fully constructed, on-site work is minimal, usually just connecting services like water, power and waste.
Move In Ready
With services connected and finishing touches complete, your cabin is ready for you to enjoy – whether it’s a home, studio, guest space or retreat.
25 Year Structural Guarantee
Our 25 year structural guarantee is your peace of mind.
