Meeting WA’s Growing Housing Demand with Modular Homes

Western Australia is facing a housing shortage, making it increasingly difficult for homebuyers to find suitable properties. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or searching for a home in a regional area, the process can be challenging.

At Summit Homes Group, we’re proud to introduce Summit Modular, our innovative modular home division designed to deliver high-quality homes faster, more efficiently, and at a competitive price compared to a conventional regional build.

In this article, we’ll explore what modular homes are, how they’re built, and why they’re an ideal solution for WA’s current housing market.

What is a Modular Home?

A modular home is a prefabricated home built in sections at our dedicated Summit Modular facility in Canning Vale. Unlike traditional homes, which are constructed entirely onsite, modular homes are built in a controlled environment before being transported and assembled at their final location.

Each section (or module) is carefully designed for transportation and seamlessly reconnected onsite, resulting in a high-quality, fully functional home in a fraction of the time it takes to build traditionally.

The Key Benefits of Modular Homes

  • Faster construction times
  • Cost-effective and budget-friendly
  • High-quality builds in a controlled environment
  • Ideal for regional and rural areas
  • More sustainable with reduced waste

How Does the Modular Construction Process Work?

At Summit Modular, we’ve streamlined the construction process to deliver homes quickly and efficiently. Here’s how it works:

  1. Manufacturing at Our Facility

The home’s modules are built at our Canning Vale modular facility.

  1. Transport to Your Site

Once complete, the sections are carefully transported using specialist trailers.

  1. Installation in One Day

Cranes position the modules onto the prepared slab or foundation.

  1. Final Connections and Finishes

This includes:

  • Service connections (electricity, water, plumbing)
  • Carport and alfresco installation
  • Decking and landscaping
  • Additional custom features

Your home can be completed and ready for transport in just 16 weeks.

Why Modular Homes are a Key Ingredient to Solving WA’s Future Housing Needs

With WA experiencing increased demand for housing, modular construction provides a practical and efficient solution.

  1. Faster Build Times

Traditional homes can take 12+ months to build, whereas a modular home can be completed in just 16 weeks before being transported to site. This is a game-changer for homeowners who need a quick and reliable housing solution.

  1. Cost-Effective and Budget-Friendly

Because modular homes are built in a controlled environment, they avoid common construction delays and cost overruns. Materials are used efficiently, reducing waste and keeping prices competitive.

  1. Flexible Designs to Suit Your Lifestyle

At Summit Modular, we offer a wide range of home designs and layouts to suit different tastes and needs. From modern open-plan layouts to more traditional styles, we ensure there’s a perfect fit for everyone.

Want to add extra features? No problem. Carports, decks, and landscaping can be included to enhance your home.

  1. Ideal for Regional & Rural WA

Building in regional areas can be difficult due to labour shortages and high construction costs. Modular homes solve this problem by being built in Perth at metropolitan trade and material rates before being transported to site.

They are also designed for easy transportation and installation, even in remote locations.

  1. A More Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Option

With a focus on sustainability, modular construction minimises waste and maximises efficiency. Our homes are built with high-quality materials in a controlled setting, reducing environmental impact and ensuring long-term durability.
