Overview:
In 2018, Modular WA was successfully awarded the tender for the supply and installation of five staff houses for the Shire of Wiluna. The township of Wiluna is located in the North-Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, approximately 800 kilometres from Perth. The staff housing will be used by the Shire of Wiluna to accommodate a number of permanent employees in housing that is specifically designed for the harsh environment in this remote region of Western Australia.

Scope of Works:
The project included the custom design, construction, transportation and site installation of the 5 homes. Work on site in Wiluna included earthworks, service connections, concrete paths and driveways, site built carports, fencing and landscaping.

Features:
The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom homes showcase modern interiors and functional spaces. The home design and construction used materials and fixtures that will help ensure they are easy to maintain. This included the selection of external wall and roof cladding materials and colours that suit the harsh environment of the North-Eastern Goldfields.  The main bathroom of each home includes design features to improve access and external doors and windows were fitted with security screens to provide maximum security and comfort.

Solutions:
The Modular WA contracts and design and drafting teams worked closely with the Shire of Wiluna to ensure the homes met the client’s design brief and expectations. To meet the clients strict timeframe requirements all 5 homes were built and transported to site within 12 weeks. Project management on site in Wiluna was critical to the overall success of the project and Modular WA engaged the services of an experienced and well equipped local contractor to ensure the onsite installation process was completed on time and to a very high standard of workmanship.

Overview:
The City of Busselton is located just over 200km or two hours south of Perth in Western Australia’s South West region.  In 2018, Modular WA was successfully awarded the tender for the supply and installation of two holiday cabins for the Busselton Jetty Tourist Park to support the region’s growing demand for tourist accommodation.

Scope of Works:
The project included the design, construction, transportation and site installation of one park cabin, with a second cabin constructed and transported to a storage for installation at a later date.

Features:
The holiday park cabins featured two bedrooms with built in robes, a bathroom with a generous vanity and open plan living/dining/kitchen area that extends out onto the front verandah. All contained within 70m², the building remains functional and welcoming while making smart use of space.

Solutions:
As the cabins were additions to an established tourist park, the Modular WA contracts and drafting team designed the buildings to seamlessly integrate with the pre-existing buildings. Situated on a difficult to navigate site, the Modular WA installation team demonstrated their site management expertise, allowing a smooth and successful install with minimal removal of the client’s peppermint trees. Overall the cabins were completed to a very high standard of workmanship that exceeded the client’s expectations.
