MODULAR HOME COSTS IN QUEENSLAND IN 2026


How Much Does a Modular Home Cost in Queensland in 2026?

If you’re planning to build a home in Queensland this year, chances are modular construction has already crossed your mind, and if it hasn’t yet — it really should be on your radar.

Once considered the “second option” to traditional builds, modular homes have rapidly shifted into the preferred choice for many Australians. And for good reason.

In 2026, modular homes are no longer a compromise — they’re a smart, strategic way to build faster, with greater cost certainty and excellent workmanship.


Why Modular Homes Are Booming in 2026

Modular homes have surged in popularity across Queensland thanks to three key advantages:

  • Cost security – upfront pricing with minimal surprises

  • Speed – dramatically shorter build times

  • Quality – solid, compliant construction built in controlled environments

Unlike traditional builds, modular homes are constructed off-site, meaning weather delays, trade shortages, and drawn-out timelines are largely avoided.


How Long Does a Modular Build Take?

One of the biggest wins with modular construction is the timeline.

From the moment you sign contracts to the day you’re handed the keys, most modular homes are completed within 12–20 weeks, depending on the design and level of customisation.

That means:

  • No blown-out timelines

  • No months lost to rain delays

  • Limited to no unexpected variation costs

Simply put — you get into your home sooner, with far less stress.

 

Modular Home Costs in Queensland (2026)

Using the Duncon Modular Home range as a guide, pricing in 2026 typically looks like this:

  • 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom: from $198,500

  • 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom: from $219,000

  • 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom: from $384,000

These homes are thoughtfully designed, functional, and ideal for first-home buyers, downsizers, investors, or those building in regional or hard-to-access locations.

The team can also customise designs to suit your individual lifestyle needs, block size, and site conditions.


Build What You Can Afford — Extend Later

One of the most practical benefits of modular homes is flexibility.

You can build what fits your budget now, then extend or add modules later as your needs (or finances) change. It’s a future-proof approach that gives you control without locking you into a massive upfront commitment.


Common Modular Home Myths — Busted

Let’s clear up a few misconceptions:

  • Myth: Modular homes are lower quality

    Truth: Quality meets — and often exceeds — traditional builds


  • Myth: They’re not approved

    Truth: All homes are Class 1A compliant and fully council-approved


  • Myth: You don’t get design choices

    Truth: You can choose your finishes, colour palettes, appliances, and fixtures


Modular does not mean generic — it means efficient.
