Modular Building & Volumetric Design
Our engineers have extensive experience in modular buildings and volumetric design. We have completed projects using this design mythology across schools, residential developments and hotels. This approach is also highly effective for hospitals, aged-care facilities, and industrial developments.
Modular construction is most simply understood through the concept of LEGO bricks. The modules are the individual bricks designed to easily connect with each other and together form the whole building. This method offers significant advantages, including faster project timelines while also reducing material and labour costs.
Volumetric design specifically refers to modular construction in which modules (framing/materials) are prefabricated off-site before being transported and assembled on-site. This streamlined process allows for significantly faster installation. Up to 40% faster when compared to traditional methods.
Our commitment to innovation in this space has led us to invest in product research and establish strong relationships with international suppliers of prefabricated materials. This enables us to offer clients exploring large-scale developments cost-effective and high-quality fabrication solutions.

The benefits of modular building
Modular building is rapidly transforming the construction industry, offering major benefits for both commercial and residential projects. It’s a fantastic option and worth considering for any development. In the last year alone, we’ve completed schools and several residential builds in Auckland using this design approach.
Modular building allows off-site prefabrication at the same time as site work, progressing construction simultaneously. This streamlined process saves time, reduces labour costs and material wastage, and provides a cost-effective, timely solution without compromising quality.
Modular construction can meet a variety of needs, from multi-storey classrooms to residential homes. Its adaptability makes it suitable for both permanent and relocatable solutions, offering flexibility for evolving requirements.
Modular buildings are designed to connect like perfectly fitting bricks, ensuring seamless assembly and consistent quality. This approach is ideal for projects that demand efficiency and precision.
