Builder-facing modular supply for Newman and the East Pilbara, Western Australia.
Newman is one of the clearest growth stories in regional WA. Built in 1968 to house Mt Whaleback mine workers, the town of around 6,000 is projected to more than double to 15,000 by 2035 under the Newman Revitalisation Plan, with private and government ownership now around 30 percent of stock. Across the Pilbara, Rio Tinto has committed A$100 million toward essential service worker housing in centres including Wickham, Tom Price, Paraburdoo and Roebourne, and the Seven Cities plan prioritises hundreds of frontline-worker homes. Demand is structural and long-dated.
For builders supplying mining workforce accommodation, frontline-worker housing and community buildings around Newman, modular supply answers the two hardest constraints in the East Pilbara: remote labour availability and program certainty.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does modular worker accommodation cost in Newman?
Indicatively $2,200 to $3,300 per square metre excluding GST for supply, before remote Pilbara transport, craneage and site works, which are quoted per project.
Is modular suitable for harsh Pilbara conditions?
Yes. Steel-framed modules are engineered to the relevant wind, thermal and durability requirements of the National Construction Code for the East Pilbara region.
Can you supply at mine-site scale?
Volumetric modular suits repeatable accommodation blocks and is well matched to staged workforce housing and frontline-worker housing programs.
Who handles delivery to remote East Pilbara sites?
Delivery, transport and craneage to Newman and surrounding sites are planned with the builder as part of the program. EcoPrestige supplies the building system.
Do you work with head contractors and channel partners?
Yes. We supply builders, head contractors and channel partners on mining and government workforce projects rather than competing for the head contract.
