Modular Building

The exclusively built Region C Building System provides clients with peace of mind in knowing that quality & service will not be compromised.

The Region C Building System is an engineered modular building system that is designed specifically to endure the harsh realities of remote living. Manufactured to resist a range of climatic conditions including monsoonal rain, cyclones, fire, termites and high temperatures, our design system offers residents of remote communities an affordable choice of comfortable remote lifestyle housing.

Region C has a range of house designs suitable for a wide variety of applications and can also build a variety of other structures including cyclone shelters and sporting change rooms. Region C also has the ability to custom design other types of buildings in consultation with our Modular Building Team

All structures built by Region C are steel framed and feature a modular concrete slab floor. Wall and roof trusses are manufactured by local tradesmen and designed for durability in harsh remote area climates.

Region C offers a complete home system featuring:

• Cyclone rating
• Strength and durability
• Flexible size and design
• Exceptional insulation ratings
• Termite resistance
• Prompt construction and speedy delivery to remote locations within the Northern Territory

To date, Region C has built homes, a cyclone shelter and AFL change rooms for communities such as Milingimbi, Angurugu, Umbakumba, Ramingining, Galiwink'u & Gapuwiyak.

• Quality homes at competitive prices
• By completing much of the construction off-site at our premises at East Arm, we are able to minimise our construction costs and offer competitive pricing. This system greatly reduces the number of variants that commonly escalate remote area construction costs such as travel & accommodation expenses, lost/damaged materials and labour hire enabling us to build superior structures that can be erected and delivered on site up to 50% faster than conventional buildings.
• Region C is clean and green;
• Our house designs have an energy rating up to 9.5 stars.
• Premium inbuilt insulation in every home
• Low volatile organic compound emissions
• Minimal on-site wastage
• Reduction of transport logistics, therefore fuel emissions, by delivering complete dwelling to site rather than multiple freight dispatches for individual components
• Steel frame housing which is extremely robust and able to withstand cyclonic winds of up to 300kms per hour

Region C provides quality cyclone-rated homes to:

• Indigenous people of Arnhemland
• Residents of Top End communities
• Organisations and businesses operating in remote areas of East Arnhemland

Our aim at Region C is to consistently provide excellence in both our homes and our customer service and to offer an enjoyable experience to our clients.

The growth and success of Region C can be directly attributed to two principle focus points of our business: Quality and Service. We believe this sets us apart from our competitors.

We will construct not just a modular transportable house but also a home; a home that anyone would be proud of. We can deliver to any State or Territory in Australia.

With engineered concrete floors, and Australian made steel frames and roof trusses engineered for durability in cyclonic conditions, our homes achieve maximum strength in construction.

Region C offers one of the quickest and cost effective C-rated cyclone coded building options available with an average home construction time of around eight weeks.

"A commitment to quality and excellence"

Our 18,000 sqm premises is situated at Mendis Rd, East Arm and is designed to allow for multiple structures to be built in a controlled and accessible environment for our skilled workers. Our proximity to shipping ports also reduces transport costs and our administration team is located on-site to oversee work and manage each project at ground level ensuring total quality control throughout the entire building process.

Materials, fixtures and furnishings are sourced from a variety of local suppliers (where possible) with a focus on ensuring that all projects are constructed with high quality components; from the tap fittings to structural frames.

• Region C aims to offer an open and friendly service to each and every construction, so as a valued client there are opportunities to visit the site to see building in progress and you will receive regular construction updates about the project.
• Region C is/will be an industry leader in purpose built homes and structures constructed and delivered ready-to-use to remote areas.
• Region C guarantees homes with intelligent design, quality construction, environmentally-friendly building practices and safe, on-time delivery.

Region C home designs are based on an engineered modular system which offers a choice of more than five basic house designs as the blank canvas for construction. Region C design plans are flexible and can be altered to suit requirements in consultation with the Modular Building Manager.

Region C homes have been delivered into their new environments across various communities in East Arnhem. Our quality built homes have proven to be an extremely comfortable, practical and enjoyable solution to remote housing.

Ready-to-go house designs and an ability to commence production as soon as contract is signed means Region C has the ability to deliver a quality home within three months from the laying of concrete slab to delivery onsite., dependent on external environmental factors.

The Region C Five Stage Engineered Building System is a breakthrough in innovative remote modular construction and has been designed to maximize durability and minimise cost without compromising quality.

The steel frame is made of the high quality 90 m screw fixed, wall frame Australian steel engineered to cyclonic conditions.
