Redland Bay, QLDModpacs
- Good for: Tight blocks with no crane access
- Good for: Owner builders who want a kit or lock-up
Modpacs makes granny flats and custom homes from a patented panel system that is manufactured in Brisbane, flat-packed and assembled on site. It suits backyards with tight access, since panels arrive on a small truck with no wide-load transport or crane, and buyers who want a choice of kit supply, lock-up or turnkey. The current company was registered in October 2023 and runs a showroom at Redland Bay. Behind it sits a long history: founder Peter Woods has worked on component-built housing since 1980, with the system used across hundreds of projects, from NSW public housing to remote housing planning in the Northern Territory. The latest version, MK6, was released in 2024 after a year of prototype testing. Modpacs says its panels have been tested by NATA-accredited laboratories, that panels can reach site about two weeks after deposit, and that many projects finish within eight to twelve weeks of site start. Its designs also put an emphasis on accessible living.

Who they are
Modpacs is a Redland Bay company, registered in October 2023, selling a patented panel building system it traces back to founder Peter Woods's work since 1980. It has a showroom at Redland Bay Business Park, open weekdays. The current version of the system finished prototype testing in 2024.
What they make
Granny flats and custom homes built from factory-made panels, flat-packed and assembled on site. The backyard range runs from a 31 m² studio to 72 m² two-bedroom homes, with names such as The Wicket, The Kookaburra and The Keeper. It quotes bushfire ratings of BAL 29 and above.
What the price covers
No prices are published; estimates come through a form or the showroom. Builds are offered as kit supply, lock-up or turnkey, but the site does not set out what each includes.
Installing one in Queensland
Panels arrive flat-packed on a small truck, so tight backyards with no crane access can work. Modpacs matches buyers with a builder, and the standard build is a project-managed contract; the site does not name the licensed builder. You still need building approval from a certifier and licensed trades for services.
Who it suits
Buyers with a tight-access block who want a panel-built granny flat and can visit the Redland Bay showroom.
Worth checking
Modpacs holds no QBCC licence and publishes no prices or warranty, and the site says the homes comply with the NCC without stating Class 1a. Get the builder's name and QBCC licence, the warranty and a fixed price in writing.
No maker pays to be listed or ranked, and every list is sorted by price, never by who pays. This isn't every maker in the market yet: missing one? Say which. Prices and sizes are the makers' own, read from their websites on the date shown, and makers change them: check with the maker before you buy. Installed prices are estimates for an owner builder, inc GST, from the install cost calculator; a licensed builder adds about $10,000. Is a listing yours, or wrong?
