Project Outcome

Off-Site Manufacturing Approach
These turnkey defence transportable accommodation buildings were manufactured within Transbuild’s controlled factory environment, allowing civil works and building delivery to progress in parallel while maintaining strict quality controls. This approach reduced on-site risk, supported programme certainty, and aligned with the health, safety, and security requirements common to Defence projects.
Installation and Delivery Outcome
Installation and commissioning were completed with detailed planning and coordination to minimise disruption to Defence operations. Delivered as a turnkey solution, the project included decking, paving, and coordinated service connections in partnership with trusted contractors.
“We came up with this concept and the flats were built off-site in a factory and transported to camp on the back of a truck. The manufacturer was already building a similar smaller model for farm workers, so this approach ended up costing considerably less than what a traditional building would cost, with added liveability for our people.”
