When it comes to modular construction, efficiency, sustainability, and quality are key. At WABi Systems, we take a structured approach to ensure every project runs smoothly, from concept to completion. Our streamlined process eliminates unnecessary delays, reduces costs, and delivers high-performance modular buildings that are built to last.
With decades of experience in modular innovation, our team understands that every project is unique. Whether you’re looking for a residential, commercial, or remote accommodation solution, our system is designed for flexibility, durability, and sustainability. By manufacturing offsite in a controlled environment, we minimise waste, speed up construction, and ensure a precision-built structure every time.
This guide will take you through each step of our process, showing how we bring modular building projects to life with expertise, efficiency, and attention to detail.

In the following sections, we’ll break down each step in detail, demonstrating how WABi Systems ensures a streamlined and successful modular building experience.
Step 1 – Project Scoping and Quote Development
Every successful modular build starts with a thorough consultation. At WABi Systems, we take the time to understand your needs, assess feasibility, and provide a detailed project scope. Our goal is to ensure that your modular building meets your exact requirements while staying within budget and regulatory constraints.
Understanding Your Needs
During the initial consultation, we discuss key details such as:
- The intended use of the building – residential, commercial, tourism, or other applications.
- The size, layout, and specific requirements to ensure the design aligns with your vision.
- Your budget and timeline, ensuring that the project is financially and logistically viable.
- Any site-specific challenges, such as accessibility, environmental conditions, or council regulations.
Feasibility & Site Assessment
To determine the best approach for your build, we evaluate:
- Site conditions, including terrain, access points, and services such as water, power, and sewage.
- Local zoning laws and council regulations that may impact the design and construction.
- Any potential bushfire (BAL) or environmental restrictions that need to be considered.
Transparent Quoting
Once we have all the necessary details, we provide a clear and comprehensive quote that outlines:
- The supply and delivery costs of the modular components.
- A guideline for installation costs, which are managed by local builders or contractors.
- Any customisation or additional requirements that may affect pricing.
Our transparent approach ensures there are no hidden costs, giving you confidence that your project is planned accurately from the outset.
Step 2 – Initial Design & Customisation
Once the project scope is defined, we move into the design phase. This is where your vision takes shape, with a tailored layout and material selections that align with your functional and aesthetic goals.
Collaborative Design Process
Our design team works closely with you to create an optimised floor plan that:
- Maximises space efficiency and functionality.
- Aligns with your intended use and industry requirements.
- Integrates sustainable and energy-efficient solutions.
Exploring Customisation Options
At WABi Systems, we understand that every project is unique. That’s why we offer a range of customisation options, including:
- Modular configurations – from single-room units to multi-module structures.
- Interior finishes – flooring, cabinetry, and wall treatments that match your style.
- Exterior materials – cladding, roofing, and other design elements to enhance aesthetics and durability.
Visualising Your Project with 3D Renderings
To help you make informed decisions, we provide 3D visualisations and concept drawings, giving you a realistic preview of your modular building before production begins.
This allows for:
- Better spatial understanding of the layout.
- The ability to adjust design elements before finalising specifications.
- A clear vision of the final outcome, ensuring your expectations are met.
Step 3 – Planning Application & Approval
Navigating planning approvals can be complex, but our team takes the hassle out of the process by managing all necessary applications and documentation.
Handling Council Approvals
We liaise with local councils and governing bodies to submit all required paperwork, ensuring your project meets:
- Zoning and land use regulations.
- Building codes and compliance standards.
- Environmental and heritage considerations, if applicable.
Compliance with Regulations
Our expertise in modular construction means we stay up to date with state and national building regulations, ensuring:
- Your building is fully compliant with safety, accessibility, and structural integrity standards.
- Any necessary permits and certifications are obtained before construction begins.
Streamlining the Approval Process
We understand that delays in approvals can push back project timelines, which is why we:
- Work proactively with authorities to address any issues upfront.
- Ensure all required documents are submitted correctly the first time.
- Provide ongoing support and guidance to help move the process along efficiently.
