Modular Homes
From the point of council approval, we aim to complete Modular homes to be ready for transport within 16 weeks. This timeframe includes construction of the module in our yard, including tiling, cabinets, flooring and window treatments. The Modular home is then transported to site and installed.
Depending on the specifics of your site and any inclusions such as site-built structures and landscaping, onsite completion may take an additional 4-8 weeks. As Modular buildings are built off site, this has the added benefit of less disruption for neighbouring properties and provides additional options when building in rural areas.

Obtain site reports to determine location on the block and the footing detail
This involves acquiring detailed information about the specific location within the block where the Modular Home will be placed, as well as gathering details about the required footing for construction.
Prepare quotation and contract
This is the formal document that outlines the cost estimate for the Modular Home purchase and establishes the terms and conditions of the agreement.
Obtain local government approvals
At this stage you would obtain necessary permits and approvals from the local government and relevant authorities to proceed with the placement of the Modular Home.
Order materials and slab
Summit Modular then places orders for all required materials and arranges for the preparation of the concrete slab foundation on which the Modular Home will be placed. This takes place at our Canning Vale site.
Slab down at Canning Vale – Team to put together steel framing
The precast concrete slab is poured off site and delivered to our yard, ready for a team of carpenters to assemble the steel framing structure of the Modular home.
Steel framing installed – house walls / interiors built
Following the assembly of the steel framing, the exterior and interior walls of the Modular Home are constructed, forming the basic structure of the house.
Finishes & selections completed
This step involves completing all finishing touches and adding your selections for the Modular Home.
Transported to site
Once construction is complete, the Modular Home is split into modules and transported to your site on trucks, where it will be reassembled and installed on site.
Installation and connection of services, finishing touches such as alfresco, landscaping, fencing etc.*- extras
The final steps include connecting services including electricity, water, and sewage. If you have selected additional features like outdoor areas (alfresco), landscaping, and fencing, these will be completed at this stage prior to handover.

Download the Modular Homes Spec SheetMinimising 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.
