Yes! Before we do that for you, we need to understand what your expectations and constraints are. Do you have adequate access for us to install? Do you have a budget? Do you want us to build or do you have your own builder? Please provide us as much detail as possible so that we can qualify quickly whether we can or cannot assist you.
It is extremely difficult to provide accurate costings without knowing the details of specific projects. Each project will vary depending on the site conditions, location, size of project, number of modules, specification and individual requirements. As a broad based approximate, building with modules is comparable in cost to traditional building and for smaller projects, slightly more expensive. However if you factor in Energy efficiency, durability, speed of manufacture and construction, as well as overall life cost of the building, the modular building over the long term has a lower cost. It is therefore diffcult to compare “like for like” as the type of construction is completely different.
Below is some example pricing of different ways to cost essentially the same configuration of modules. These are broad based estimates only and we would strongly advise that we have a broad range of experience in tailoring a design to your budget, so it is far better to have a discussion with us so we understand your requirements, then making an assumption based on the following indicative examples.

Yes, there are a number of government initiatives currently available to contribute to the build cost.
Home Builder provides eligible owner-occupiers (including first home buyers) with a grant of $25,000 to build a new home or substantially renovate an existing home where the contract is signed between 4 June 2020 and 31 December 2020. For further informaiton, please contact your local State Revenue Office. A factsheet can be found here: https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-06/Fact_sheet_HomeBuilder_0.pdf
The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) scheme was introduced on 1 July 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership. It is a national scheme funded by the states and territories and administered under their own legislation.Under the scheme, a one-off grant is payable to first home owners that satisfy all the eligibility criteria. Further information on the scheme as applicable to your particular state or terriroty can be found here: http://www.firsthome.gov.au/
