Portable Studios
Portable studios are the flexible, move-anywhere way to add a fully finished room to your property, set up quickly, fully self contained, and ready to go almost as soon as it arrives. At DuaLiving, we design and build portable studios that suit your site, your budget and your lifestyle, backed by decades of building experience and a team that manages everything from concept to completion.
Unlike a permanent extension, a portable studio gives you genuine extra space without the cost, mess or disruption of a major renovation, and because it’s portable, it can move with you if your plans change. Whether you need a quiet creative space, a base for a home-based business, or simply an extra room for the family, a portable studio turns your vision into reality.

What is a portable studio?
A portable studio is a fully self-contained, relocatable building designed for fast, hassle-free installation. It can be delivered to your site and set up in just days rather than weeks, and if you ever move, a portable studio may be able to be relocated rather than left behind.
Our portable studios range in size from around 6m² to 15m², so there’s a layout to suit different property sizes, uses, and budgets. Each one arrives as a finished product, complete with external walls, windows and doors, ready to enjoy from day one.

A studio to suit any lifestyle
Because a portable studio is so versatile, it can serve a huge range of uses across daily life. Our clients use theirs as:
- A quiet creative space or music room for recording and rehearsing
- A base for a home-based business, with a professional space separate from the main home
- A teenage retreat that gives the whole family a little more room
- Guest accommodation for visiting friends and family
- An extra room for a growing household - a study, a gym, or simply more living space
With a smart layout and the option of plumbing, your portable studio can be as simple or as fully equipped as you like. It’s a versatile solution that adapts to your life, not the other way around.

Built to a quality you can trust
Every DuaLiving portable studio is australian made and built to australian standards, using quality materials chosen to handle our climate and last the distance. From the external walls to the windows and doors, each finished product is crafted to look stylish and feel like a natural part of your home.
We don’t cut corners on construction. Our careful manufacture process and attention to detail mean your studio arrives ready to perform, season after season.
Portable studio builders you can trust
As experienced portable studio builders, we believe your studio should be as well built as the home it sits beside. With decades of construction experience and an experienced team behind every project, we manage the whole process, from your first idea to final installation, with genuine support and transparent pricing along the way. You’ll have one trusted team to discuss your vision with, so the result is exactly what you imagined.
Approvals and council requirements
One of the advantages of a portable studio is how straightforward approvals can be. A non-habitable structure may not require council approval at all in many areas, while a council application and approvals are necessary for habitable buildings where people will sleep. What’s needed depends on the size and intended use of your studio.
Because the rules differ from one council to the next across South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, our team checks what applies in your area, handles the approvals and liaises with your council, so you don’t have to.
Pricing and delivery
We keep pricing clear and all-inclusive, with no hidden costs. Your final price depends on the size, layout and finish you choose, and we’ll give you an itemised quote up front. Smaller studios can be installed in just a few days, while larger builds can be ready in as little as 8 weeks.
We deliver to most areas across South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Because delivery, pricing and site access can vary, the best next step is to get in touch so we can confirm exactly what’s available for your location.
