Question 1

What is a modular classroom?

Accepted Answer

A modular classroom is a building constructed off-site in a controlled factory environment, then transported and assembled on your school campus. They meet the same Australian building standards as traditional permanent construction but can be delivered significantly faster.

Question 2

How long does a modular classroom project take?

Accepted Answer

Typical modular classroom projects are completed in 6–12 weeks from approval to handover. Emergency temporary deployments can be on-site in as little as 2–3 weeks. Compare this to 12–24 months for equivalent traditional construction.

Question 3

Are modular buildings permanent or temporary?

Accepted Answer

Both. We offer permanent modular buildings designed for 50+ years of use, as well as temporary and relocatable structures for shorter-term needs. Permanent modular buildings are indistinguishable in quality and durability from traditional construction.

Question 4

Which states do you service?

Accepted Answer

We deliver projects across all Australian states and territories including NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT and NT. Our project management team coordinates logistics nationally.

Question 5

Are your buildings compliant with Australian building codes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our buildings are fully compliant with the National Construction Code (NCC), Building Code of Australia (BCA), and relevant state education authority requirements. We manage all building approvals and certifications.

Question 6

Are your buildings accessible for students with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All our buildings are designed and constructed in full compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and AS 1428 access standards. We include ramps, accessible bathrooms and appropriate door widths as standard.

Question 7

Who handles council approvals and planning permits?

Accepted Answer

We do. Our team manages the entire planning and approval process on your behalf, including Development Approvals (DA), Building Permits and any education authority consent requirements. This is included in our project management service.

Question 8

How much does a modular classroom cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary based on size, fit-out level and specification. A single standard modular classroom typically starts from $150,000–$250,000 installed. Multi-room blocks and specialist facilities (STEM, admin) will be priced accordingly. We provide fixed-price proposals with no hidden costs.

Question 9

Can government schools use modular buildings through the state procurement framework?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are experienced working within government procurement frameworks and can assist your school's business manager in navigating the appropriate approval and procurement pathway for your state or territory.

Question 10

Do you offer hire/lease options?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer hire and lease options for temporary and relocatable buildings — ideal for short-term needs or when capital approval is pending. Contact us for current hire rates.

Question 11

Is there a warranty on your buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All permanent modular buildings include a 10-year structural warranty and 12-month defects liability period. Temporary/hire buildings are maintained and warranted throughout the hire period.

Question 12

What information do you need to provide a quote?

Accepted Answer

To provide an accurate proposal, we need: your school location, the type of building required, approximate size (number of classrooms or m²), preferred timeline, and any site constraints. Use our Quote Request form to get started.

Question 13

Will installation disrupt our school?

Accepted Answer

Minimising disruption is one of our core commitments. We schedule deliveries and installation activities to avoid peak school hours where possible, and can work during school holidays, evenings and weekends. Most installations are completed without disrupting a single school day.

Question 14

Can modular buildings be removed or relocated later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — relocatable and portable buildings can be moved to a new location on your campus or to an entirely different site. Permanent modular buildings are designed for long-term installation, though structural modification is possible in some cases.
