Supporting Housing Initiatives in NSW
Modulate Group is proud to announce our inclusion in the Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Procurement List, an initiative led by Homes NSW and the NSW Government.
This initiative is designed to connect pre-qualified suppliers with buyers, particularly for projects focused on delivering affordable housing. It’s part of an ongoing effort to improve access to high-quality, sustainable, and efficient building solutions that can address growing housing needs across New South Wales.
While the MMC Procurement List is not a guarantee of housing development, it represents a step forward in ensuring that the right expertise, suppliers, and solutions are available to tackle some of the challenges in providing affordable housing.
What Is the MMC Procurement List?
The Modern Methods of Construction Procurement List was created to encourage the use of innovative building methods—particularly modular construction—to deliver housing and infrastructure more efficiently.
The key objectives of the list include:
✅ Helping government agencies and developers access trusted, pre-qualified suppliers. ✅ Streamlining the process for delivering affordable and sustainable housing.
✅ Promoting the use of offsite construction methods to reduce project timelines and costs.

Modulate Group’s Contribution to Housing Solutions
At Modulate Group, we’re proud to support initiatives like the MMC Procurement List that aim to bring innovative solutions to the housing sector. While we cannot solve the housing crisis alone, our inclusion on the list reflects our ability to contribute meaningfully to affordable housing projects.
1. Australian-Made Modular Housing
All our modular housing units are designed and manufactured locally in Australia, at our facility in Newcastle, NSW. This local approach ensures:
Quality Assurance: All housing units are built to comply with Australian Standards, offering durability and reliability.
Economic Support: By employing a local workforce, we contribute to the Australian economy and create jobs in the community.
Tailored Solutions: Our housing units are designed to suit the unique environmental conditions and housing needs of NSW.
2. Speed and Efficiency
One of the main advantages of modular construction is the ability to deliver projects faster. Using offsite manufacturing, we can design, build, and deliver housing units in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional construction methods.
This efficiency makes modular construction a valuable tool for housing initiatives, particularly when there’s a pressing need for affordable solutions.
3. Sustainability as a Priority
At Modulate Group, sustainability is at the core of what we do. Our modular housing solutions:
Reduce Waste: By manufacturing offsite, we cut construction waste by up to 90%.
Lower Carbon Footprint: Local production minimizes the emissions associated with transportation.
Improve Energy Efficiency: Our designs include modern insulation and climate control systems to lower energy usage for residents.
The Potential of Modular Construction in Housing
Modular construction has been recognized as a key method for improving housing supply, thanks to its speed, flexibility, and cost efficiency. While it’s not a universal solution, it has the potential to complement traditional construction methods and address some of the challenges in delivering housing projects.
1. Accelerating Housing Projects
By building most components offsite, modular construction can shorten project timelines significantly. This is especially valuable in areas where housing demand is urgent.
2. Cost-Effective Solutions
Modular construction optimises material usage and reduces labor costs, making it an economical option for housing developments.
3. Scalable and Adaptable Designs
Modular housing units can be expanded, reconfigured, or relocated to meet changing needs, making them a flexible solution for various housing challenges.
