Modular by SHAPE
Our dedicated modular construction division specialises in an end-to-end service encompassing design, offsite manufacturing, and construction.
End-to-end Modular Solutions
For more than three decades, our modular team has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, modern modular construction solutions. Bringing together a team of experts, we manage every stage of the project lifecycle, ensuring smooth delivery and consistent quality from start to finish.
We take care of everything – from initial feasibility to design, manufacturing, site preparation, transportation, installation, fitout, and more. Whether it’s a rapid, repeatable project or a one-of-a-kind design, our work spans schools, hospitals, offices, sporting facilities, community infrastructure, accommodation and temporary facilities.
Smarter Buildings
Modular construction brings all the benefits of manufacturing to traditional construction, with a large part of the process done offsite at our facilities. This supports faster project delivery, improved safety, exceptional quality control, minimal on-site disruption, and delivers more sustainable outcomes. Adopting non-traditional construction methodologies and new technologies allows us to overcome the toughest of construction challenges and unlock greater value for our clients.

Sectors
With over three decades of experience in the education sector, we have become a market leader in designing and delivering safe, functional, and modern modular learning facilities for early learning through to secondary schools and tertiary education. From standard modular classrooms to permanent double- and triple-storey modular buildings, we accommodate for a wide range of student needs in both design and functionality. With minimal on-site disruption and the ability to build around the school calendar, modular construction is fast becoming the preferred solution for schools. We can also provide high-quality, temporary classrooms that can be relocated as needed for schools in high-growth regions, and assist schools with obtaining government grants.
We specialise in crafting modular sporting pavilions predominantly offsite and can align installation with the off-season, a strategy that effectively reduces interference with ongoing sports events. Whether you’re a metro or regional council, after a small change-room facility or a large multi-use sports pavilion, our team has the flexibility, experience, and hands-on knowledge to deliver an end-to-end solution with a strong focus on service and quality. All of our sports pavilions comply with Female Friendly Sport Infrastructure Guidelines and the Australian Standards for Access and Mobility to ensure they are safe and comfortable for every member of the community.
We have a proud track record of delivering government projects across regional and metropolitan areas for local, state and federal governments. Our team of experts are well-equipped to deliver efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions to meet the unique needs of the community. We’re experienced in providing a range of building solutions, including sport and recreation facilities, libraries, public amenities, education and learning environments, and other community facilities. We also provide a range of temporary and transportable solutions, such as site offices for urban or regional infrastructure projects and buildings for healthcare or emergency service providers during pandemics or in natural disaster zones.
Modular construction is the perfect fit for the healthcare sector for its efficiency and minimised disruption. Healthcare facilities, like hospitals, general health clinics and aged care centres, often require rapid adjustments to meet changing needs. Our cutting-edge permanent or temporary modular buildings not only offer rapid deployment but also ensure minimal disturbance to patients, staff and healthcare operations, as the majority of the work is completed off-site. With the ability to transport our buildings to anywhere in Australia, our modular solutions are perfect for regional or rural healthcare facilities.
We have been one of Australia’s leading commercial fitout and refurbishment partners for more than three decades. With much of our lives spent at work, we know how important it is to create environments that inspire and improve the experience of every employee, whether it’s a temporary site office or a permanent workplace. Our modular team can provide a full turnkey solution from design, manufacture, construction and fitout, working with you every step of the way to ensure the building meets your needs and budget. We can also provide temporary decanting facilities for your staff while undergoing offices relocations or refurbishments.
We have significant experience in delivering Defence work and understand the unique and strict requirements that come with sensitive and confidential aspects of these projects. From active security clearances and tailored protocols to Defence specific management plans and programs, we are well equipped to deliver a wide range of permanent or temporary modular solutions. We understand that efficiency and dependability are key to delivering projects for government departments, which is why fast-tracked modular buildings are perfect solutions.
As a leading provider of modular construction solutions, we bring a wealth of experience and an innovative approach to deliver high-quality, customisable accommodation solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients. From temporary accommodation to permanent residences, and outdoor educational facilities, our modular buildings are designed for efficiency, comfort, style, and sustainability. With the majority of the construction undertaken offsite, we ensure timely delivery without compromising on quality.
We bring to life exciting and inviting spaces to eat, drink, and stay, ensuring the highest quality standards. Our team of expert designers work closely with our clients to deliver on their vision and design bespoke, flexible and attractive spaces. We understand the important of minimising disruption and ensuring guest comfort in live environments. Our offsite solutions provide fast-paced programs and allow our clients to open their doors as quickly as possible.
Capability Statement
We know how important it is to keep your business operational during the construction of new facilities, following unforeseeable natural disasters, such as fires or floods, or to meet a sudden increase in business demand. Whether it’s a school, building site, office, pop-up medical facility, training centre, bathroom or storeroom, we offer a range of affordable temporary and transportable building solutions. Our buildings can be delivered anywhere in Australia and installed quickly, allowing you to focus on your business.
We offer a variety of commercial arrangements to suit your needs and budget: available for hire, long-term lease, or short-term rental.
We offer a range of design services that are uniquely tailored to our clients; there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We can draw on our historical catalogue of work for quick implementation or customise these designs to fit specific requirements. Additionally, our design team have the capability to modularise traditional construction designs to suit offsite construction methods and transportation restrictions. We work closely with our clients and involve them in the design process to ensure alignment and that each project receives a bespoke, intelligent solution that combines efficiency with flexibility.
With manufacturing facilities spanning Victoria and South Australia, we offer nationwide transportation and installation services. Leveraging on SHAPE’s national footprint, we rely on the support of our local construction services teams to provide support and project management services locally. This integrated approach ensures control and predictability throughout the manufacturing, logistics, and installation process, resulting in smooth and efficient project execution.
