Modular Homes in Victoria

What Are Modular Homes?

Unlike traditional building methods that complete all works on-site, modular homes are constructed in sections (or ‘modules’) in a controlled factory environment.

Each module is completed with all fixtures and fittings, before being transported to site and connected to services.

In Victoria, modular homes comply with the same building code standards as traditional homes. Prior to occupancy, they are thoroughly inspected by a qualified building surveyor to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements and quality standards.

Building Requirements For Modular Homes In Victoria

The building requirements for modular homes in Victoria are the same as those for traditional homes.

Often, a planning permit from your local council is required before construction can commence. This can be influenced by factors such as bushfire zones, flood-prone areas, multiple dwellings on a block, and Aboriginal heritage considerations.

A building permit is required to ensure your structure meets building codes and safety standards. This is mandatory for all types of homes, including prefab or modular, kit, and traditional site-built homes. The only free standing structures that may not require a building permit are granny flats or very small sheds.

Before you can move in, an occupancy permit is also required to confirm that your home is safe and ready for habitation.
