Housing measures announced by the Coalition and Labor will stretch further if coupled with smart investments that improve efficiency within the building sector.

We need to build smarter to address supply-side challenges in the Australian market.

Our research has shown 40% time and cost savings are possible in the design and development phase, and a further 20% in the construction phase if we can encourage a more systematised and industrialised approach across the industry.

Expanded adoption of Modern Methods of Construction, prefabrication and modular building, can deliver homes faster and cheaper, with higher quality and less waste.

Let’s seize this opportunity to transform how we build homes so we can build more of them. Together, we can create a sustainable, efficient and innovative housing future for Australia.
