Modular Building in Australia

Established in 1983, the Modular Building Institute is a global nonprofit trade association that represents the modular construction industry, and now is building up the modular building sector in Australia.  MBI’s mission is to keep in line with current trends in modular/off-site construction, as it stands as a beacon of innovation and advancement. As a vibrant organization, we are dedicated to supporting a wide range of modular builders in Australia, including architects, owners and developers, general contractors, product and service providers, manufacturers, and more.  Permanent modular construction (PMC) and portable buildings (RB) are MBI's two primary areas of expertise. As a forum, we offers members access to different aspects of the business.

Australia's Capacity for Diverse Membership

MBI’s Australian presence is still growing, and we intend to grow our enterprises and businesses membership. Members who can join MBI and grow the modular building industry in Australia include:

  • Architects: Those  designers who, especially when it comes to prefabricated buildings, produce plans that blend style and utility within a modular framework. Their designs redefined space utilization, pushed boundaries, and set the norm for modular architecture.
  • Manufacturers: These individuals are the craftsmen who bring architectural vision to life, working in cutting-edge facilities to ensure precision and quality control in every module they build.
  • Contractors: These professionals are adept in combining modular components to form a cohesive, functional whole, bridging the gap between concepts and reality.
  • Finance Associates: These service providers, a growing section of the market, ensure that visions are not only dreamed about but actually

If your modular building business is located in Australia, join The Modular Building Institute for an extensive and supportive base in the industry.
