Your Home, Your Way
ModSpan offers a selection of practical starter home models designed to provide efficient, modern living with strong value per square metre. Current options include one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, each designed with open living areas, functional floorplans, and outdoor deck space to suit a range of needs and lifestyles.
For those looking for something more tailored, ModSpan also offers flexible design options that allow for extensions, modified layouts, and fully customised homes. This gives clients the ability to begin with a standard model or develop a design that better suits their site, household requirements, and long-term plans.

Inclusions cover the structural portal frame system, building wrap, Colorbond® corrugated roof and wall cladding, aluminium windows and external doors, internal partitions, ceilings, wall linings, internal doors and trims, as well as council plans, engineering, assembly drawings, and freight to site.

Why Choose ModSpan?
ModSpan offers a practical, modern, and cost-effective alternative to traditional housing. Built with a durable prepunched portal frame steel structure, these homes are designed to deliver strength, flexibility, and efficient construction while still allowing each home to be tailored to the needs of the owner.
One of the main advantages of a ModSpan home is the simple and efficient build process, which can help reduce both construction time and overall project costs. The open clearspan design also allows for flexible layouts, mezzanine options, and spacious living areas with high ceilings and natural light.
ModSpan is particularly well suited to coastal environments such as Norfolk Island, where durability, wind resistance, and low maintenance are important. The result is a home that combines practicality, long-term value, and architectural simplicity.
