Sourcing prefabricated buildings

For manufacturers, we carry out a full factory inspection, work out whether specific engineering is required, and check whether products need certifying to Australian standards. We also look at local prefabrication.

The process

Six steps from first idea to final delivery

A step-by-step process for a journey most construction companies have not made before.

  1. 01.

    Find the right manufacturer

    We identify and assess manufacturers, including a full factory inspection where the project calls for it.

  2. 02.

    Secure finance

    We help you line up the finance an MMC project needs.

  3. 03.

    Resolve the engineering

    We work out whether specific engineering is required, and whether the manufacturer's products need certifying to Australian standards.

  4. 04.

    Plan the logistics

    We plan how the building or its components get from the manufacturer to your site, including importation.

  5. 05.

    Manage delivery

    We coordinate delivery so the project arrives as planned.

  6. 06.

    Keep oversight to the end

    We stay involved to keep the project on track through to completion.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still unsure? Send us a message and we will come back to you.

What are modern methods of construction (MMC)?

MMC is a group of ways of building that move work off the building site, such as prefabrication, modular construction and 3D printing. Building parts in a controlled environment can mean faster, more predictable delivery.

Where do I start with MMC?

Start with a conversation. We look at your project and where you are today, then map the steps ahead, from finding the right manufacturer through to delivery.

How does the process work?

We take you step by step: manufacturer search and inspection, finance, engineering, logistics, delivery and oversight. The process section above shows the full picture.

How much does this cost?

Every project is different, so we quote each one directly. Send us the details of what you are planning and we will come back to you.

Is my project suitable for 3D printed construction?

We assess whether your project is suitable for 3D concrete printing as part of our advice.

Do imported buildings need to meet Australian standards?

That depends on the product. We check whether specific engineering is required and whether the manufacturer would need to have its products certified to Australian standards.

Do you work nationwide?

Yes. We work with construction companies across Australia.
