Grouped by your project questions.
Choose a topic below. Requirements vary between sites and jurisdictions, so our team will confirm the details relevant to your project by email.
Approvals & Compliance
Do modular homes need Development Approval (DA) or Building Approval (BA) in Australia?
Approval requirements depend on the state or territory, council, property zoning, planning overlays, site conditions and intended use. A building approval is commonly required, and a separate planning approval may also apply. Confirm the pathway for your property with the local council and a suitably qualified building certifier before committing to a project.
The National Construction Code sets construction requirements; it does not replace planning or building approvals.
What is the National Construction Code (NCC)?
The NCC is Australia's national framework of minimum requirements for building safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability. State and territory governments adopt and administer it, and the requirements that apply depend on the building, its use and the project location.
Can ProSpace assist with approvals and NatHERS assessments?
We can discuss the documentation and coordination your project may need after reviewing its location, intended use and site details. The local authority and building certifier determine the applicable approval pathway. Whether a NatHERS assessment is required depends on the project and the rules that apply to it; the scope of any support is confirmed with you before proceeding.
Energy & Comfort
What is NatHERS?
NatHERS is the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme. It provides a standard method for assessing the thermal performance of a home's design. Whether a rating or assessment is needed depends on the project, location and applicable approval requirements.
How do you approach comfort and energy performance?
Comfort depends on the selected insulation, glazing, ventilation, daylight, layout and building services, as well as site orientation and local climate. We can discuss suitable options for your project; performance outcomes need to be confirmed against the final design and specification.
Process & Timing
How long does installation take?
On-site placement and installation can take less than a week for some projects. The schedule depends on site access, foundations, service connections, crane arrangements, weather and approvals. We can provide a project-specific timeframe after reviewing those details.
Can I view a sample before proceeding?
Send us an enquiry to ask about a private walkthrough. We will confirm current display availability and suitable viewing arrangements with you.
What information should I include in an enquiry?
Include your state and suburb or postcode, intended use, preferred capsule configuration, site access details and target timeframe. You can also mention questions about services, off-grid options, accessibility or other project needs. It is fine to enquire if you are still deciding on a model.
Models & Customisation
Which model may suit Airbnb or short-stay accommodation?
A one-bedroom configuration may suit couples or a private guest suite; a two-bedroom layout may work better for families or guests travelling together. The right option depends on your site, target guests, intended use and approval pathway. Explore the capsule configurations and include your plans in an enquiry.
Can a ProSpace capsule be customised?
Selected layouts, openings, finishes and options may be tailored to a project brief. Changes are subject to design, engineering, transport constraints and the approvals required for the site. The available scope can be discussed after we review your requirements.
What amenities and features are included?
Inclusions depend on the capsule configuration and final specification. Ask us for the current written inclusions for the model and options you are considering before making a decision.
Can you discuss SDA or NDIS-related projects?
We can discuss the project's accessibility requirements and intended use, then identify what design input or independent assessment may be needed. Suitability and any certification must be confirmed against the specific project and relevant assessment pathway.
