Modular Aged Care Construction Cost in Australia: 2026 Guide

Aged-care operators face the same pressures as childcare and health: repeatable rooms, hard compliance, and capacity needed on a date. Modular fits that brief. Here’s how EcoPrestige prices and delivers aged-care buildings.

What modular aged care costs

EcoPrestige modular aged-care and accommodation buildings start from around $2,300/m² (excl GST). Because the rooms repeat and are built in a controlled facility, the cost is more predictable and the programme risk lower than conventional construction.

Compliance and durability

Buildings are structural steel, engineered to the National Construction Code with Australian engineering oversight, an Occupancy Certificate on completion, a 12-year structural warranty and a 12-month materials warranty.

Capacity on a date

Modules are manufactured offsite in parallel with civil works and delivered turnkey for rapid assembly — roughly 30% faster than typical modular suppliers.
