As of 2025, Australia’s construction sector remains under pressure, with over 25 major firms collapsing since 2023—highlighting the industry’s fragility amid rising costs, severe labour shortages, and escalating demand. With over 120,000 skilled roles unfilled, traditional construction methods are struggling to keep up. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)—including modular, prefabricated, and precast systems—are emerging as critical solutions, cutting onsite labour needs by up to 50% and reducing construction timelines by 30–50%.

The financial case for MMC is compelling. While construction costs have risen more than 16% since 2021, modular builds offer consistent savings of 20–30%. High-output factories in Australia can now produce a home every hour, and major developers are increasingly adopting MMC for large-scale projects. A recent NSW Health modular ward expansion halved delivery time while meeting all NCC compliance standards. In education, the NSW Government’s 2024 ‘Manufacturing for Schools’ program is delivering over 30 new or upgraded schools using modular systems. The Stage 2 upgrade of Oran Park Public School, completed in 13 months with only eight weeks onsite, reduced time by 30% and achieved cost savings of up to 20%. In Queensland, demand for classroom space is growing rapidly—with the state government investing over $3 billion in infrastructure from 2023 to 2025, including a strong focus on modular delivery to meet enrolment surges in Brisbane’s fastest-growing corridors. A cross-government taskforce is also exploring modular housing to fast-track social home delivery. Globally, the modular market now exceeds USD 130 billion, with APAC leading innovation through digital manufacturing and DfMA.

Join us at the 5th Annual Modern Methods of Construction by Trueventus, where industry leaders will explore next-generation MMC through real-world case studies, digital workflows, and practical insights. From rapid housing and modular hospitals to prefab schools and infrastructure pods, this is the definitive platform for discovering how MMC is reshaping Australia’s built environment—meeting labour shortages, climate goals, and future demand at scale.

IMD™ connects project owners and delivery partners with offshore manufacturers, modular-specialist builders, and structured cross-border procurement and financing solutions, while governing end-to-end compliance, certification, and delivery risk across borders.

IMD™ (Integrated Modular Delivery) is a compliance-led, end-to-end modular delivery framework designed to bring certainty, control, and predictability to construction projects in Australia and New Zealand.

IMD™ operates as a modular project delivery integrator, aligning offshore manufacturing with local design management, regulatory compliance, logistics coordination, and on-site delivery. Rather than acting as a builder or a module supplier, IMD™ sits across the full delivery pathway—structuring, governing, and coordinating the interfaces that typically create risk, delay, and cost volatility in modular and hybrid construction projects.

IMD™ is supported by C&D Group, a Fortune Global 500 enterprise with deep capabilities in global supply-chain operations, advanced manufacturing integration, and cross-border trade and financing. This support provides IMD™ with access to scaled offshore manufacturing capacity, structured procurement frameworks, and international delivery infrastructure. IMD™ also operates with the strategic backing of the Australia China Accelerator Center (ACAC), which provides institutional connectivity between Australia and China, strengthening governance, stakeholder alignment, and cross-border delivery confidence.

In a market increasingly impacted by labour shortages, cost escalation, programme delays, and fragmented delivery responsibilities, IMD™ provides a single, integrated delivery framework that front-loads risk and improves project certainty. The IMD™ model is structured around four core pillars: Design & Compliance, Offsite Manufacturing, Logistics & Interface Management, and Onsite Delivery—ensuring each stage is aligned, governed, and executed within one coherent delivery system.

IMD™ does not compete on lowest price. It competes on delivery certainty, programme control, and risk reduction. By integrating compliance governance, offshore manufacturing, logistics coordination, and on-site execution into a single structured framework, IMD™ enables project owners, delivery partners, investors, and financiers to deliver modular projects with greater confidence, transparency, and predictable outcomes.
