Yes — all Expandify homes require crane access for installation. The homes arrive folded and must be lifted into place using a crane, which unfolds and positions the dwelling safely onto the engineered footings.

A 25-tonne Franna crane is typically included as part of the Complete Package installation scope. This size is sufficient for most standard access conditions and is factored into the overall building cost unless otherwise specified.

Crane access is essential due to the weight, size, and folded design of the building. It cannot be installed manually or with alternative lifting methods.
