Hastie Construction owner Hayden Hastie hopes to partner with Heartland Homes to build more transportable homes in the future. Oamaru construction company Hastie Construction has dipped its toe into building transportable homes. In partnership with North Canterbury building company Heartland Homes — which has a history of building transportable homes — it has built a 90sqm house which will be on display at an open home on Sunday before it is loaded on the back of a truck and driven to Ranfurly. Owner Hayden Hastie said it was the first transportable home his company had built and he hoped to partner with Heartland Homes to build more. Mrs Foster said transportable homes could often be cheaper.
