MODULAR DELIVERY AND SITE COSTS
Initial Consultation
We start by gathering details about your property: location, access photos, and any existing site information.
Site & Delivery Costs for Modular Homes
At Summit Modular, one of the questions we’re asked most often is, “How much will it cost to deliver and install my modular home?”
Every site is unique – factors like location, slope, accessibility, and local council area all influence the overall delivery and installation cost.
While we can’t provide an exact figure until we’ve completed a detailed route analysis and site assessment, we’re committed to being completely transparent about how these costs are calculated, what’s involved in the process, and when you can expect to receive your estimate.
Here’s everything you need to know about understanding your site and delivery costs.
Why Site Costs Vary
- Location & distance from our factory – Check if your property is within our modular delivery catchment using our downloadable delivery map. If you’re slightly outside, contact us — we may still be able to deliver.
- Site access – Sufficient access for escort vehicles, delivery trucks, and cranes is essential for safe transport and installation.
- Method of delivery (jacks or crane)
- Block characteristics – Slope, soil type, or retaining requirements may affect the foundations or footings.
- Service connections – Costs for connecting electricity, water, sewer, gas, and telecommunications vary depending on site conditions.
- Council regulations – Each local council has its own planning and building approval process for modular homes.
- Transport logistics & permits – Some designs require wide-load or oversize transport permits, depending on the route and delivery location.
Our goal is to factor in all these elements early, giving you a clear picture of your total project investment.

Site Assessment & Site Reports
We collect detailed information about the exact location on your block, including slope, soil type, access, services, and footing requirements.
Select Your Design
Pricing of the design purely covers the home itself. Explore our range of 1–3-bedroom designs.
Prepare a Set of Sited Plans
This includes recommended footing details. These plans are then used to send to our trades and transport providers to obtain quotes.
Detailed Estimate and Contract
Once assessments are complete, we provide a clear breakdown of your site and delivery costs, including any optional extras.
Site Route Analysis
Our team reviews the transport route from our factory to your block to ensure safe and efficient delivery.
Council Review
We identify any council-specific requirements early, obtain necessary permits and approvals, and prevent unexpected delays or costs later in the process.
Understanding Costs
The base design price covers only the modular home itself. All site works, slab or footings, delivery, and optional extras are determined after your site assessment.
- Base Design Price: Standard modular home design from our website, including all internal finishes, fixtures, and inclusions.
- Required Additional Costs: Site inspection and route analysis, slab for the tiny home, footings, tree removal (if necessary), delivery and crane and service connections (power, water, sewer, gas, telecommunications).
- Optional Extras: Decking, landscaping, driveways, carports, alfresco (Note: Blackwood, Frankland, Avon and Oakover designs include alfresco in the base price; Riverstone does not) and additional site features.
All required site-specific costs are confirmed after your formal site assessment and route analysis.
Navigating Council Approvals
Each local council has its own planning and building regulations for modular homes. Our experienced team works with you to identify requirements early and guide you through every stage of the process, from planning submissions to building permits, ensuring your home meets all local standards before delivery.
From Factory to Foundation
Once approvals are finalised, your modular home is transported from our factory to your site in two pre-built modules. Installation typically takes just a few days, depending on access and site complexity.
Our experienced logistics team coordinates every detail — from delivery scheduling to cranage — ensuring a smooth transition from factory to foundation.
