To consistently deliver to the highest standard, we follow the below principles in everything we do
Short Timeframes
Typical Factory build to site is installed in 12 weeks compared to traditional build of 6-12 months.
Controlled Environment
No delays to manufacturing due to seasonal weather to ensure delivery within expected timeframes. ISO certified.
Design Expertise
Our team provides the complete design and construction experience, bringing deep understanding and expertise to every project.
Sustainable Building
Our structures don’t rely on traditional building materials such as concrete and brick, and no need for repetitive transport to site, therefore a minimised carbon footprint.
Quality Assured
Constant supervision, together with the undercover construction, ensures the highest levels of quality are maintained. ISO Certified
Reduced Risk
We ensure consistent quality and minimising onsite hazards through off-site construction in a safe, supervised setting.
Experienced in Commercial Projects
We have delivered our fair share of commercial builds in Victoria and New South Wales, so we are able to provide you with a seamless and professional commercial project. With over 20 years of experience in creating and building modular builds for a variety of sectors, you can trust us with your next commercial build.
Architectural Partners
We partner with leading architects trusted to deliver to our exceptionally high standards.
Our architectural partners share our vision and our values. Like us, they believe there is always a more intelligent way to design and build. Together, we think ahead and we work towards an exceptional outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of using modular construction in healthcare?
A fast tracked approach Minimal disturbance to residents/patients and healthcare operation due to the majority of work being undertaken off-site. While we are constructing your project in our factory, onsite works are taking place at the project site. We are able to transport and install our modules within 1-2 days typically and then complete final onsite works within weeks. Fixed costs & cost savings We do not start building until all of the design and documentation has been finalised. After which, we are able to accurately price your healthcare project before we start construction, ensuring your project falls within budget. Cost saving benefits can be achieved for healthcare projects with repetition based floorplans. This is ideal for patient rooms, accommodation facilities for patients or multiple treatment spaces with the same layout. Sustainability Modular construction is a sustainable way to build as it does not rely on traditional materials such as concrete or bricks. Prebuilt’s factory has a controlled recycling program, where plaster, tiles, steel and insulation are returned to approved recyclers. Using BIM systems we are able to order exact quantities specific to each project, to reduce our wastage. Tailored design solutions We work closely with the client, architect and relevant consultants to ensure that all elements of the build are considered in the early planning stages of a healthcare facility's design. We work with DDA, hydraulic, electrical, lighting and building surveyors to reach the best outcome for your project and minimise changes down the track.
How long does a healthcare modular construction project typically take?
Modular construction is generally 40-50 per cent faster than traditional builds due to the majority of works taking place within a controlled factory environment. This also means building manufacture works can take place concurrently to site works, speeding the build timeline up even further. The construction phase is dependent on the size and scale of the project. On average the construction time of a healthcare facility can be achieved within months of completed IFC (issue for construction) documentation.
I have an upcoming commercial project and would like to explore modular building. Where do I start?
The best time to think about modular building is early, when the design requirements can be worked in with the process. Start with a call to Prebuilt – we’ll be happy to discuss your project and how it could benefit from modular building.
What kind of education facilities has Prebuilt been involved in?
Prebuilt have vast experience delivering both small and large scale education projects. From Food Technology Centres and Rowing Hubs, to state-of-the-art Learning Centres with IT, recreation, science laboratories and presentation spaces, Prebuilt has ongoing relationships with a number of schools to deliver modular facilities.
I already have planning permission for my project, so the design is reasonably established. Can I still consider modular building?
Yes. Any building can be assessed for modular building. Please contact us to arrange an obligation-free conversation.
Will my design look like a modular building?
The look of a building is determined by the architect and the selection of external finishes. Our modular buildings look no different to a conventional build.
Will the building feel like a modular building?
Many people recall the bouncy floors and lack of thermal comfort in old portable temporary schoolrooms and associate this with all modular buildings. However, this does not need to be the case with good design. The feel of a building is a result of its design and construction methodology. All of our building elements are determined by the architect and structural designers to ensure your building is no different to a site-built structure. Our modular buildings comply with the NCC (National Construction Code) and the Building Code of Australia, and are subject to the same compliance requirements as a site-built structure
Is a modular building environmentally friendly?
Definitely! According to a report by Deloitte, which referenced findings from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), building and construction are responsible for up to 30% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. We run your build as a manufacturing process, so from the front end design, using BIM modelling, we’re able to order the exact amount of material required. This process greatly reduces waste. In addition, Prebuilt’s 40,000sqm facility provides an efficient work environment for all our trades. Our facility uses 100kWh PV panels which supply virtually all the power for our factory, head office and Tesla charging point.
My client wants to explore using modular as a building methodology. What’s the best way to start?
Early! We’re happy to engage with your design team on an ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) basis to guide them through the particular requirements of using modular technology. This avoids reworking designs for modular requirements later in the process.
Are there any constraints on the design of modular buildings?
Not really. As “building blocks”, the methodology can be used to create any volume of the structure. There are some considerations for the spatial requirements for the structure of the modules. However, large open spans can be accommodated, and multiple level-height internal spaces can be achieved using Prebuilt’s engineering process.
