Commercial Cafes●

Purpose-built modular cafes for commercial, education and public environments●

Modulate designs and manufactures modular cafe facilities for schools, workplaces, visitor destinations, public spaces and established commercial venues. 

Available in standard and widened configurations, each cafe can be tailored around service requirements, food preparation, equipment, utilities, staff workflows and site conditions. Built off-site and delivered as a complete modular solution, our cafes provide a durable and flexible alternative to conventional construction.

National & International Delivery●

We deliver portable and modular container buildings across Australia and throughout the Pacific region including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia. Delivery options are selected based on the unit dimensions and the conditions of your site.

Tilt Tray

A tilt tray truck is ideal for transporting many standard container modules and offers simple loading and unloading for straightforward access sites.

Side loader

A side loader is suited to tight, narrow or restricted sites where traditional unloading methods are not possible. Its ability to place the container module level and parallel to the truck ensures precise positioning in constrained locations.

FLAT-TOP

A flat top trailer is used for widened container units or for buildings that require crane placement on arrival. This provides excellent stability during transport and ensures the container module arrives safely and ready for installation.

We contacted Modulate looking for a custom built classroom for a reasonable price. The result exceeded expectations by a very long way. This along with the customer support given from the initial sales discussion through to delivery made this project a very smooth and enjoyable experience.
