Modular

A modular home is a housing solution where the home is prefabricated and built in a factory before being transported to the site for final assembly. This construction method is ideal for areas where traditional building might be expensive or challenging, such as semi-rural and rural locations. The process involves constructing the home in sections (modules), which are then transported to the site, assembled, and completed. The key benefits of a modular build include reduced construction time frames, reduced cost, reduced environmental Impact and you maintain the same quality expected in a traditionally built home.

Modular homes offer several advantages:

• Speed of Construction: They are typically built within 16 weeks from the start of construction, which is much faster compared to traditional building methods.
• Cost-Effective: While transport costs may add to the overall price, modular homes can be more economical in areas where on-site construction is expensive or logistically difficult. The transport cost can also often be off-set by money saved on rental payments while undertaking a traditional build.
• Reduced Site Disruption: Building offsite reduces the impact on your property and surrounding area during construction.
• Quality Control: Factory construction ensures high-quality control standards and efficiency in the building process.

• Overhanging trees or vegetation that may restrict truck or crane access
• Driveway or laneway widths required for delivery truck access
• Crane accessibility, with a typical maximum crane span of approximately 20 metres
• Overhead obstructions such as powerlines
• Tight turning circles or limited site access

A modular home might be right for you if:

• You need to be living in your new home quickly, our modular homes are built within 16 weeks of slab down.
• You are looking for a cost-effective solution in areas with high site work costs, such as rural and semi-rural areas.
• You want to minimise disruption to your property and neighbours during construction.

Site suitability for a modular home depends primarily on access for delivery and crane placement. Your site will need adequate road access for transport vehicles and sufficient space for a crane to lift and position the modular sections onto your prepared foundation. Key considerations include road width, overhead clearance (such as tree canopies or power lines), turning circles for large vehicles, and distance from the road to your building site. You’ll also need to consider any local council regulations or building restrictions in your area.

If you’re unsure about your site’s suitability, contact us to conduct a site assessment to identify potential challenges and discuss solutions.

Summit Modular Homes offer a scalable solution perfect for multi-dwelling developments such as lifestyle villages, worker accommodation, family living, or investment properties.

For multi-home projects, the modular approach means faster completion times and flexible scheduling. Multiple homes can be built at once while your site is prepared, and deliveries can be staged to match your timeline and budget.

Get in touch with our team to discuss your project and explore how modular construction can work for your development.

Traditional construction involves building the entire home on-site, which can take longer and be affected by weather conditions, site access, trade availability and other factors. A modular build involves constructing the home in sections offsite at a factory. These sections are then transported to the site and assembled. This method typically offers faster construction times, better quality control, and reduced site disruption. The modular process also allows for the efficient use of resources and can be a more practical option in areas with challenging site conditions.

Modular homes from Summit Homes start at $268,400 for a 3-bedroom home and $338,400 for a 4-bedroom home, with designs ranging from 88m² to 133m². Each home is built in our factory to the same quality standards you’d expect from traditional construction.

These prices are for the home itself, with transport and installation costs depending on your specific location and site access. The total investment varies based on where you’re building, your site conditions, and any customisations you choose.
