    No, our in-house team handles all design work unless you wish to supply existing plans.

4. 3D Visualisation & Final Approval

See That Vision

Once the initial designs are ready, we generate high-quality 3D renderings. This allows you to explore your modular building virtually, assess functionality, and visualise layout and finishes before construction begins. It’s a powerful step that helps finalise decisions and ensures everyone is on the same page.

Key Features:

  • Realistic 3D modelling with interior and exterior views
  • Visual feedback opportunities before manufacturing
  • Clarity and transparency around design intent

How to Set Up Your Modular Office

FAQs:

  • What if I don’t like how something looks in the 3D render?
    No problem, this stage is made for revisions. We’ll adjust as needed.
  • Are 3D renders included in every project?
    Yes, every modular building includes this visualisation step.

5. Construction Begins

With designs signed off, your modular building enters production. All buildings are prefabricated in our purpose-built facilities in Pinkenba (Brisbane) or Dandenong South (Melbourne), ensuring consistent quality and controlled timelines.
