Western Australia has put record money behind social and affordable housing. The 2026-27 State Budget commits an additional $1.5 billion to social and affordable homes, alongside a $48 million investment into advanced manufacturing facilities at Neerabup and Kwinana that are designed to push medium and high-density housing off the critical path. For builders and developers bidding into that pipeline, the constraint is no longer whether offsite works — it is whether your modular supply chain can hold compliance, cost and program at volume.
EcoPrestige is a builder-facing structural steel modular systems supplier. We do not compete with you for the head contract — we supply the modular building systems you install, with Australian engineering and QA oversight behind every module.
What WA’s housing build means for builders
The state’s social-housing program rewards suppliers and builders who can show repeatable, compliant, factory-built housing at scale. That rewards three things: evidence of suitability under the NCC, a manufacturing process that holds tolerances across hundreds of units, and an install sequence locked before the first module ships. These are exactly the points where social housing programs slip, and exactly where EcoPrestige is built to support you.
How EcoPrestige supports your WA social-housing delivery
We manage the chain from architectural coordination and structural engineering through factory manufacturing, staged QA and delivery to site. Our structural steel systems give you genuine multi-storey capability with the fire and acoustic performance medium-density social housing requires. Every unit is turnkey and fully pre-cladded, backed by a 12-year structural warranty and 12-month materials warranty, with an Occupancy Certificate provided on completion. Compliance evidence is assembled before production, so your certifier is not waiting on documentation after the modules land. Installation stays your responsibility as the builder; we coordinate supply and install so site works run to program.
Why structural steel modular for social housing
Speed without durability is a false economy on stock that has to last decades. Structural steel modular delivers the program compression WA needs — factory build running parallel with site and civil works — while standing up to multi-storey configurations and the separation that medium-density housing demands. With 50,000 m² of offsite production behind each order, volume is not the bottleneck.
Indicative supply costs
As a guide only, EcoPrestige modular supply starts from around $2,200/m² (excl GST) for residential and early-learning configurations, $2,300/m² for apartment-style stock and $3,300/m² for hotel-grade fit-out. Final rates depend on storeys, configuration and finish. Factory build runs in parallel with your site works, which is where roughly 30% of the program time is recovered against conventional construction. Send us the brief and we will quote against it.
Frequently asked questions
Is EcoPrestige on a WA government housing panel?
EcoPrestige supplies the modular building systems builders and developers use to deliver into WA social and affordable housing programs. The head contract and client relationship stay with you; we work alongside your team on the bid and the supply.
How fast is modular social housing compared with conventional build?
Factory manufacturing runs in parallel with your site and civil works, which typically recovers around 30% of the program against conventional construction. We lock engineering and compliance before production so the manufacturing window is predictable.
How is NCC compliance handled?
We assemble evidence of suitability — engineering, the NCC compliance pathway and supporting data — before production. Our systems are built to NCC Class 1a, 2, 3 and 9b requirements and an Occupancy Certificate is provided on completion.
What does modular social housing supply cost in WA?
As a guide, supply starts from around $2,200/m² excl GST for residential configurations and varies with storeys, configuration and finish. Send us the brief and we will quote against it.
Who installs the modules on site?
Installation is the builder’s responsibility. We coordinate the supply and install sequence and provide the documentation your install crew and crane works need to land modules to program.
What warranty comes with the modules?
Units are turnkey and fully pre-cladded, backed by a 12-year structural warranty and a 12-month materials warranty.
