Yes. Through our parent company, Atrada Group, we proudly support Australian Defence Force veterans and value the experience, discipline, and skills they bring to the workforce.
Modulate designs and manufactures portable and modular containerised buildings for a wide range of industries. Our range includes site buildings, hospitality and retail spaces, specialised modular solutions, and custom builds tailored to specific project requirements.
Modulate’s buildings are stronger, more durable, and more flexible than most portable or imported alternatives.
Key benefits include:
We offer a range of Standard Builds, Widened Builds, Combined Builds, and fully custom solutions to suit different project requirements.
Our exclusive widened builds retain portability and can be designed to meet freight and delivery requirements.
Modulate’s widened containers are unique because they provide significantly more internal space than standard container formats while retaining the strength, portability, and practicality of containerised construction. They are purpose-built to create more functional, comfortable spaces for offices, lunchrooms, accommodation, hospitality, and other applications where layout flexibility and usability matter.
We only use new containers or one-trip containers:
This ensures consistent quality, structural integrity, and eligibility for our full structural warranty.
Yes. Every Modulate building can be customised in terms of layout, finishes, and inclusions. You can select from a wide range of Colorbond® colours, flooring options, joinery finishes, and fitout configurations.
Yes. Our modular buildings can be structurally engineered to be stacked or joined, either side-by-side or end-to-end.
This allows for multi-storey facilities, expanded layouts, or open-plan interiors.
No. All Modulate buildings are delivered fully constructed, tested, and finished before dispatch.
This ensures complete compliance and eliminates onsite assembly issues.
Modulate is backed by a purpose-built Australian manufacturing facility with a 70,000sqm site and 12,700sqm of covered production space. This gives us the capacity to deliver both custom and large-scale containerised building projects with greater efficiency, quality control, and production flexibility.
Yes. Modulate buildings are designed to be practical, portable, and relocatable, making them well suited to projects where site needs may change over time. This allows buildings to be moved, repositioned, or repurposed as operational requirements evolve.
Not typically. While we’ve completed a few in the past, our main focus is industrial, commercial, and government-grade modular buildings.
It’s possible but not part of our standard offering. We can assess feasibility for specific projects, though most clients opt for stand-alone, relocatable structures instead.
Yes. We can supply blank containers or fitout-ready shells, suitable for clients who prefer to manage interior fitout independently.
It depends on the build type and inclusions.
Our structures are designed for a 25-year design life, backed by heavy-duty steel framing, fully welded fabrication, and 10-year structural warranties.

The warranty does not cover issues resulting from:
These exclusions ensure the warranty remains focused on manufacturing quality, not site conditions or external factors.
If you believe your building has a defect covered under warranty:
If approved, Modulate will repair or replace the defective item as outlined in the warranty terms.
Most warranty claims are assessed within 10 business days of receiving all required information. If site inspection is needed, Modulate will coordinate with you to schedule it promptly.
Depending on the nature of the issue, Modulate may:
Our goal is to resolve issues quickly and efficiently with minimal downtime.
Yes, the remaining warranty period can transfer to the new owner, provided the building hasn’t been modified or damaged since delivery. The new owner must notify Modulate in writing within 30 days of ownership transfer for warranty continuation.
Damage during transport (when freight is organised by Modulate) is covered under transit insurance until handover. If damage occurs after delivery — for example during relocation, modification, or weather events — contact us for repair advice or a service quote.
