Prefabricated Homes

Built with Passive House Design & Sustainable Practices in Mind

Embrace a new future in sustainability and innovative design

What is a Prefabricated Home?

A prefabricated home, often called a prefab home, is a type of house that is constructed in sections or modules within a factory setting rather than being built entirely on-site. Once the components are completed, they are transported to the final location, where they are assembled on a prepared foundation.

Prefabricated homes are known for their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quick construction times compared to traditional site-built homes. They offer a range of customizable designs and are built under controlled conditions, which can enhance quality and reduce delays caused by weather. Permastructure offer unique architecturally designed prefab homes promote sustainability, energy efficiency, healthy living environments and high quality craftsmanship.

    Prefab Homes – An Affordable Option

    The cost of building a home in Australia—and globally—has surged due to rising material prices, inflation, increasing trade costs, and stricter industry regulations. As a result, many aspiring homeowners worry they may never realize their dream of building a home. At Permastructure, we offer a smarter, more affordable alternative: high-quality, sustainable prefab homes that don’t compromise on comfort or style.

    Key Benefits

    Faster Construction Time

    Prefab houses are built in factories and assembled on-site, which significantly reduces construction time compared to traditional building methods.

    Cost Efficiency

    Because of standardized production and reduced labor costs, prefab houses are often more affordable than conventional homes.

    Sustainability & Reduced Waste

    Prefabrication allows for better control over materials and processes, leading to less waste and more energy-efficient homes.

    Nic and his skilled team were instrumental in delivering our new business premises on time. They arrived early and stayed late. Excellent communicators and very reasonable $$. Pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend.

    Nic Jouin, the principal builder and founder of Permastructure has worked with Australian Hemp Masonry Company's hempcrete materials since 2016. Prior to arriving in Australia from France he had had experience in the French hemp construction industry and that thorough understanding of the materials translates to beautifully finished hempcrete installations with real attention to detail. Easy to collaborate with, he and his team bring precision building and a great attitude to any building site.
