The Business Case Study.

The Australian Opportunity: Multiple Revenue Streams

The EvoHaven 20 project taps into Australia's diverse housing needs, offering property owners multiple pathways to financial success:

Second Dwellings & Granny Flats

With Australia's aging population and multi-generational living trends, the EvoHaven 20 provides the perfect solution for families needing additional space. Whether housing aging parents or adult children, these units offer independence while maintaining family proximity.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Investment

Tourism accommodation represents one of the highest-return applications. Market analysis shows potential profit margins of up to 55% in popular tourist destinations. The EvoHaven 20's compact design and premium finishes make it ideal for discerning travelers seeking unique experiences.

Beach Homes & Holiday Retreats

Australia's extensive coastline creates enormous demand for portable, weather-resistant holiday accommodation. The EvoHaven 20's modular design allows for easy relocation and setup, perfect for coastal properties or remote retreats.

Additional Living Space for Growing Families

Modern families need flexible space solutions. The EvoHaven 20 serves as ideal teenager accommodation, home offices, or creative studios—providing privacy and independence while remaining connected to the main residence.

Investment Properties & Rental Income

With Australia's rental crisis driving unprecedented demand, the EvoHaven 20 offers investors a cost-effective entry point into the property market. At a $22,500 landed cost and $100,000 retail value, the return on investment speaks for itself.

Commercial Applications

Beyond residential use, the EvoHaven 20 excels as:

• Remote site offices

• Retail pop-up stores

• Camping ground accommodation

• Mining camp housing

• Emergency housing solutions

Quality Manufacturing at Chinese Prices

One of the most compelling aspects of the EvoHaven 20 project is the cost structure. Recent quotations from FSMZ China reveal detailed pricing for similar projects:

Sample Cost Breakdown (Australian Student Housing Project):

• Base Manufacturing Cost: 50% less per unit

• Dimensions (larger than EvoHaven 20)

• Includes: Complete interior fit-out, electrical systems, plumbing

This transparency in pricing demonstrates both our commitment to honest business practices and the exceptional value proposition of Chinese manufacturing. When you consider that similar units manufactured in Australia would cost 3-4 times more, the benefits become clear.
