Thinking about building a modular home can bring up a lot of questions, and we’re here to make sure you feel informed every step of the way. At The Quarters Co, we believe that great design should be backed by transparency and guidance, especially when it comes to construction, delivery and what’s required on your end.
Below you’ll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from clients across Victoria.
Modular homes offer faster build times, greater cost efficiency, and more consistent quality than traditional on-site construction. They’re built in controlled factory environments, meaning fewer weather delays, less waste, and tighter construction standards for improved energy efficiency. With flexible layouts and custom options, modular homes combine personalisation with speed, sustainability, and value.
Pricing depends on the size and design you choose, as well as optional finishes and extras. As a guide, our 41 sqm studio starts from $189,800, while our larger homes, like a 132 sqm 3 bedroom, are priced from $588,000, dependant on layout design and selected finishes. Every home includes premium fixtures, appliances, heating / cooling, and high-performance construction materials as standard. Site preparation, transport, and permit costs are additional.
Dependant on the size and scale of your project, general build time is between 12-18 weeks.
Every Quarters Co prefabricated building package is manufactured by a licenced builder in a controlled environment at our Hesse facility. Manufacturing offsite allows us to maintain exceptional quality control, minimise weather-related delays and significantly reduce disruption at your site.
Once manufacturing is complete, your building is transported to site by our preferred company, engaged by you. The building is then installed onto the prepared footings by your selected licensed builder. Your contracted trades then complete the final service connections, after which the Relevant Building Surveyor carries out the final inspection and issues the Occupancy Permit (or Certificate of Final Inspection, where applicable).
You will need to arrange the following before delivery:
You will be provided with comprehensive documentation to assist both you and your contractors. We can also recommend experienced local professionals to help coordinate these works.
Our prefabricated building packages include an extensive range of standard quality inclusions, including:
Yes. Our homes and offices are designed with flexibility in mind. You can choose from a range of layouts or work with us on a custom design suited to your lifestyle or site conditions. Modifications to existing plans are also possible.
Yes, we deliver and install modular homes across Victoria. We’ll assess your site, advise on any cranage or access issues, and ensure the design is suitable for your land prior to beginning the design process.
Once built, you engage a haulage company and the home or office is loaded onto a specialised transport truck and delivered to site. If access is limited or placement is complex, a crane may be used. Our team will coordinate the logistics and work with your chosen contractors to ensure the install runs smoothly.
Absolutely.
We have display homes onsite to inspect, and there are always buildings under construction by licensed builders at our Hesse facility, each at varying stages of manufacture. This provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the quality of our workmanship, see our manufacturing process first-hand, and inspect the workmanship and finishes that make every Quarters Co design unique.
Inspections are by appointment.
Yes, many of our clients choose to install their homes on off-grid sites, particularly in rural or remote areas. While we don’t supply off-grid systems directly, our homes are compatible with off-grid living. You’ll need to engage local specialists to install solar panels, battery storage, rainwater tanks, septic systems or composting toilets, depending on your needs. We’re happy to collaborate with your suppliers to ensure the design and services align.
We use closed-cell spray foam insulation beneath every building because it expands to fill every gap, creating an exceptional thermal and air seal.
Compared with traditional insulation alone, it delivers superior thermal performance, helps minimise draughts, provides an effective moisture barrier and is also highly resistant to pests and rodents.
Our buildings are designed to achieve a minimum 7+ Star Energy Rating (site and orientation dependent) and include:
Our homes include commercial-grade, double-glazed Low-E windows for maximum efficiency and comfort. They improve insulation, reduce heating and cooling costs, block harmful UV rays, and cut down on outside noise. These windows also minimise condensation, enhance durability and security, and contribute to a lower carbon footprint by reducing energy use.
Colorbond steel is chosen for its durability, low maintenance, and resistance to harsh Australian conditions. It’s lightweight, fire-resistant, and energy-efficient, reflecting heat to keep homes cooler. With a wide range of colours and finishes, Colorbond adds both performance and aesthetic value — and it’s recyclable, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
James Hardie cement sheeting offers superior durability, resisting impact, moisture, pests, and fire. It stands up to Victoria’s weather conditions without warping, rotting, or cracking, while requiring very little maintenance. It can be painted or finished in a variety of styles, giving both flexibility and long-term performance, all with sustainable materials.
