Modspace® Buildings are modular and transportable. We manufacture these in a factory where we can build out of the weather and much more efficiently than traditional on-site construction. Once the building is completed in the factory, we bring it to site on the back of a truck, and lift it into place. Simple really!

Our homes, offices and commercial spaces are very similar to traditional builds in that we use traditional timber framing in our floor, walls and roof.

You can have the best of both worlds by using Modspace®.

We’ve designed our buildings to be very quick to connect to Site services.

We have a caravan plug connection available for electricity to plug-and-play. Our water connection is a simple 20mm fitting (just like a hose tap). And wastewater drains are penetrated through the floor ready for a drainlayer to connect up on site.

Utilities can be connected in a very short space of time.

Timber is a reliable, tried and true building method that remains the standard for residential construction. We use timber sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forests right here in New Zealand.

Building with timber is a versatile and durable choice. It offers flexibility in layout, unlike prefabricated insulated panels that have bracing limitations. It is a material that is also easy to maintain, repair, and alter if needed. This makes it a solid and long-lasting foundation for your Modspace building.
