The Victorian State Government is backing Victoria’s prefabricated construction industry, with a new directory making it easier and more accessible for local manufacturers to work on projects across the state. Source: Timberbiz Minister for Jobs and Industry Natalie Hutchins has launched the latest edition of the Victorian Prefabricated Construction Directory, which features 24 businesses delivering residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across Victoria. First released in 2019, the directory showcases the range of products and capabilities of each business, making it easy to find manufacturers that can meet specific project requirements. The directory also highlights innovative examples of the Labor Government’s use of prefabricated construction in building projects, including the two-storey mental health facility extension at the Sunshine Hospital and an affordable regional housing project in Horsham. Prefabricated construction is a modern method of construction (MMC) where buildings and components are manufactured off-site before being transported to a permanent location. This approach can result in lower costs and faster delivery times compared to conventional construction methods. By manufacturing buildings in a controlled factory environment, prefabricated construction minimises delays caused by disruptive weather, reduces waste, and creates safer, more accessible jobs. As the fastest-growing state in Australia, Victoria’s increased adoption of prefabricated construction will play an important role in increasing the supply of residential housing stock by enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of our construction sector. Victoria’s $33.5 billion manufacturing sector is a significant contributor to the economy, generating $23 billion in exports and supporting over 260,000 jobs.
