Mining, resources and regional infrastructure projects share one hard constraint: people need somewhere compliant to live, on time, often in remote locations. This guide covers how EcoPrestige delivers modular workforce accommodation, and what it costs.
What modular workforce accommodation costs
EcoPrestige modular accommodation starts from $2,300/m² (excl GST). On remote projects the real comparison isn’t just $/m² — it’s the avoided cost of on-site labour, weather delays and extended programmes that conventional construction carries in those locations.
Delivery certainty is the real value
Units are fully pre-cladded and finished in a 50,000 m² offsite facility, then delivered turnkey for rapid assembly. Manufacturing offsite in parallel with civil works shortens the programme by around 30% versus typical modular suppliers — which matters when accommodation has to be ready for a fixed mobilisation date.
Compliance and warranty
Every unit is engineered to the National Construction Code (Class 1a, 2 or 3 as applicable), with Australian engineering oversight, an Occupancy Certificate on completion, a 12-year structural warranty and a 12-month materials warranty.
Built for remote and regional delivery
See the workforce accommodation procurement guide, the Pilbara worker housing page, and the delivery process.
Frequently asked questions
How much does modular workforce accommodation cost?
EcoPrestige modular accommodation starts from $2,300/m² (excl GST), depending on configuration, finishes and site location. For remote and regional projects the delivered cost is usually well below conventional on-site construction once transport, labour and programme risk are accounted for.
How fast can workforce accommodation be delivered?
Modules are manufactured offsite in parallel with site and civil works, so EcoPrestige delivers roughly 30% faster than typical modular suppliers — critical when a project has a fixed mobilisation date.
Is the accommodation NCC compliant?
Yes. Units are engineered to the National Construction Code (Class 1a, 2 or 3 as applicable) with Australian engineering oversight and an Occupancy Certificate provided on completion.
Does EcoPrestige handle installation in remote areas?
Three options are available: supply only, supply plus EcoPrestige installation, or design-and-build coordination to AS 4300 — so builders and contractors can choose the level of support that suits a remote site.
