Build Process

Step by step

Modular Homes
Build Process

One of the biggest advantages of building Modular is speed — and from slab delivery, your home is built within 16 weeks. Both modules are constructed simultaneously in our purpose-built facility, with tiling, cabinetry, flooring and window treatments all completed before your home even arrives on site.

Once transported and installed, any remaining onsite works — such as site-built structures or landscaping — are typically completed within 2–6 weeks, depending on the scope of your build.

Building offsite also means your neighbours experience minimal disruption, and because site works can run concurrently with factory construction, there’s no unnecessary waiting around.

  • You may also choose to enhance your Modular home with additional features such as fencing, patios, alfresco areas, carports and landscaping. Summit Modular can manage these works from start to finish, providing a seamless end-to-end solution. These items are optional and will incur additional costs.

Final Inspection & Handover (2 weeks)

A final inspection ensures all works are complete, compliant, and ready for handover.

Minimising waste at every stage of construction

When constructing and delivering Modular homes, we prioritise minimising waste and environmental impact through several key practices.

To begin with, we actively recycle materials to reduce our ecological footprint. Currently, we recycle approximately 1.6 tonnes of steel every 3 weeks, along with cardboard and plasterboard. Any surplus materials are carefully stored and reused for future projects, ensuring minimal wastage throughout our construction process.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to the selection of building materials. Summit Modular homes can feature components such as Weathertex cladding and solar panels (at an additional cost), which enhance energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, our structures are crafted using Backbone Steel Framing, owned by Summit Homes Group, a sustainable choice that supports durability and eco-friendly construction practices. Steel framed homes can be deconstructed, moved and reused without any loss of strength and durability.
