How to build a fabulous Airbnb side hustle

It’s always been popular but with a certain global pandemic changing the face of travel, holidaying on the South Coast has never been hotter for Aussie tourists. With everyone wanting a piece of the South Coast action, we caught up with Gavin King from Prefabulous to talk about why modular homes could be your ticket to some tourist dollar action of your own.

New-kid on the South Coast building block, prefabricated modular building company Prefabulous has recently set up shop in Mollymook and Bermagui and is now making Airbnb dreams a reality for locals.

“Whether you call it a granny flat, a backyard pod, outbuilding or whole new house, we can have one or our architecturally designed and gorgeous additions on your site, ready for occupancy in just under 12 weeks,” says Prefabulous Managing Director Gavin King.

“Over the years, prefabrication has received a bad rap, but we think it’s awesome and it’s our mission to do it fabulously. The advantages of prefabrication are many, but the highlights reel includes more money in your pocket, time up your sleeve and an excellent finished product.”

Proponents of prefabrication have long sung its praises as a much more efficient construction process. Other benefits include precision finishes, higher quality construction, consistent standards, less subcontractor variation and site interference, fewer delays and minimal waste.

“We can keep the costs lean and the production schedule tight and it’s just a smarter, faster, cheaper way to build. And at Prefabulous, we’re all about making it easy for you to realise your dreams as quickly as possible, so our focus is taking you by the hand throughout the entire build process – whatever that dream may be.

“You may want to tap into the changing face of tourism or add some guest accommodation for your out-of-town friends. Whatever your big picture, with Prefabulous you can just decide on a one, two, three or four-bedder if you have the room then select the style that floats your boat. We take care of the rest, including help with getting your development approval through council, managing the job through installation or even helping you source finance.”

Gavin says he’s proud to be bringing Prefabulous to the people of the South Coast.

“The people of the South Coast deserve stunning spaces they can afford. At Prefabulous, we take all the great things about prefabricated building and throw in a bunch of added benefits like architecturally great design, quality finishes, customisation, quality materials, and cutting-edge building concepts and we make fabulously beautiful spaces. We’re also 100% Australian and 100% worth calling… especially while South Coast tourism is going off!”
