About us

Scandi Cabins is a premier provider of sustainable home improvement solutions, part of the Scandi Group, focusing on creating spaces that combine modern design with eco-conscious practices. For over a decade, formerly known as YZY Kit Homes, we have specialized in supplying prefab timber building components to selected builders across Australia and New Zealand. Our mission is to deliver backyard spaces that are both environmentally friendly and efficiently built.

Scandi Cabins brings together the best of both worlds – premium Scandinavian prefab components, expertly crafted in Europe and built with care by skilled Australian and New Zealand builders. Our cabins are engineered to meet the highest European standards, and fully certified for Australian and New Zealand conditions. Every step of the process reflects our shared values, focusing on delivering top-tier quality and long-term satisfaction.

Trusted Builders with Decades of Experience

Our network of Scandi Cabins builders has extensive experience in constructing backyard studios, cabins, garden rooms, and granny flats. With years of expertise, they’re well-versed in local building regulations and can offer valuable guidance on choosing the right solution. This ensures that you receive not only great quality but also the peace of mind that comes from working with industry professionals.

Local Expertise, European Quality

At Scandi Cabins, we understand the unique needs of the Australian lifestyle. We’ve adapted our designs to include high ceilings, more windows to suit Aussie preferences for light, space, and connection to the outdoors.

We also designed a range of cabins and granny flats to meet requirements of exempt and complying developments to fit seamlessly with planning regulations. Many of our cabins can be built as exempt developments, meaning no council approval is needed in NSW. And our granny flats are designed to meet Complying Development (CDC) requirements, which in NSW, QLD and VIC [and other states considering this pathway] offer a more economical, simpler, and faster approval process with the help of a private certifier.

Sustainably Sourced Materials

We’re proud of our roots in Northern Europe, where our cabins are crafted from Nordic Spruce grown in FSC-certified forests. Not only is this wood sustainable, but it also creates a healthy, natural living environment. Our commitment to sustainability means you can enjoy your new space knowing it’s kind to both people and the planet.

With over 30 years of experience and more than 150,000 buildings delivered worldwide, our European manufacturing facility is renowned for its advanced technology and skilled workforce.
