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.
