Builder-facing modular supply for Katherine and the Tindal region, Northern Territory.
Katherine is being reshaped by defence investment. The RAAF Base Tindal redevelopment, 17 kilometres from town, includes Stage 6 works with 108 new live-in units, a runway extension and new base infrastructure, with modernisation targeted for completion around the end of 2026, alongside new Triton uncrewed-aircraft facilities. Defence projects in the region have leaned heavily on local and Indigenous contractors. The flow-on for Katherine is sustained demand for accommodation, community and service buildings.
For builders working Katherine and the Tindal corridor, modular supply suits remote programs where on-site labour is scarce and schedule certainty is critical. Factory-built modules arrive ready to install, cutting the time crews spend on a remote site.
Why modular for this region
EcoPrestige is an Australian-controlled supplier of steel-framed volumetric modular building systems. Modules are fabricated offshore under Australian engineering and quality assurance oversight, then delivered and installed to suit the site. We supply builders, developers and head contractors, we do not compete with them for the head contract.
Our systems cover Class 1 to Class 10, including Class 9b commercial and public buildings, and are designed to meet the National Construction Code with evidence of suitability provided. For builders the value is certainty: a controlled factory process, repeatable quality, and a program that is far less exposed to weather, local trade shortages and rework than conventional on-site construction.
Indicative supply cost
As a guide, EcoPrestige modular supply runs from approximately $2,200 to $3,300 per square metre excluding GST, depending on building class, finish level, services and site requirements. This is a supply-and-deliver indication for budgeting only, not a fixed quote. Send us a brief or drawings and we will return a project-specific figure.

Yes. Steel-framed modules are engineered to the relevant cyclonic, wind and thermal requirements of the National Construction Code for the Katherine region.
Can modular support defence-linked accommodation?
Volumetric modular suits repeatable live-in and accommodation buildings and integrates with builder and head-contractor delivery on defence-linked programs.

Delivery, transport and craneage to Katherine and surrounding communities are planned with the builder. EcoPrestige supplies the building system.
