Why modular aged care works for NZ

• Speed: 6–10 months design-to-handover — material when NZ aged-care bed demand outpaces traditional build capacity.
• NZBC compliance: NZS 3604 (structural), NZS 4229 (concrete), H1 (energy), C/AS4 (fire), D1 (access) addressed in module design.
• Seismic rating: Structural-steel modular systems engineered to NZ seismic zones with certified connection details.
• Cost: Supply-only ~NZ$2,600–$4,000/m² — meaningful discount to NZ traditional aged care build.
• Logistics: Modules shipped Qingdao → Auckland/Tauranga/Lyttelton, road-freighted nationwide.

Typology coverage

40–80 bed residential aged care, supported living clusters, memory-care wings, respite and palliative modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do modular aged care buildings meet New Zealand Building Code requirements?

Yes. Modules are engineered and documented to meet the NZBC performance clauses relevant to residential aged care, including structural (B1), fire safety (C clauses), accessibility (D1), moisture management (E2), internal environment (G), and services (G). Independent producer statements (PS1, PS4) are provided. All seismic design is engineered to NZS 1170.5 for the relevant zone.

How does EcoPrestige handle NZ seismic design?

Every module delivered into New Zealand is engineered for the site-specific seismic zone per NZS 1170.5, with seismic restraints, moment-resisting frame connections, and diaphragm continuity designed as part of the structural system. Producer statements are issued by a CPEng engineer. No module leaves the factory without documented seismic compliance.

Which NZ regions do you deliver to?

Nationwide — Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, Queenstown, and regional districts. Ocean freight lands at Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington, or Lyttelton depending on project location. Land transport from port to site is the builder’s scope.

What’s the programme for an NZ modular aged care wing?

Indicative programme for a 20–40 bed wing is 22–32 weeks from engineering sign-off to on-site handover. This compares to 50–70 weeks traditional. Factory manufacture and site civils run in parallel, which is where the programme advantage comes from.

How does modular aged care pricing work in NZD?

Pricing is typically quoted in AUD ex-GST and converted at spot rate. Indicative supply price is AUD $2,500–$3,200/m² inclusive of ocean freight to a New Zealand port. Land transport, NZ site works, and services connection are the builder’s scope. NZ GST and duty are the buyer’s responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

How much does modular aged care buildings cost in New Zealand?

Indicatively $2,200 to $3,300 per square metre excluding GST for supply, with delivery, craneage and site works quoted per project for New Zealand.

How much faster is modular than conventional construction?

Around 30 percent faster than typical modular suppliers, because modules are built offsite in parallel with site works across a 50,000 square metre production facility.

Are the buildings NCC compliant?

Yes. Systems are designed to the National Construction Code with evidence of suitability, covering Class 1a residential through Class 2, 3 and 9b commercial, and an Occupancy Certificate is provided.

What warranty is provided?

A 12-year structural warranty plus a 12-month materials warranty.

Do you compete with local builders?

No. EcoPrestige supplies the modular system through three offerings: modular supply, supply plus EcoPrestige install, or a design and build coordinator role. The builder retains the head contract and site works.

Can you deliver to New Zealand?

Yes. Modules are fabricated offsite and delivered to site in New Zealand, with production staged to match your program.
