Why Modtruss

Designed as a home. Engineered as a system.

Australian architecture with Scandinavian restraint, and a structure engineered with the clarity of a manufactured product.

Architecturally considered

Homes designed around people rather than simply fitting rooms inside a structural box.

Engineered timber

A structural approach centred on renewable timber sourced, where possible, through responsibly managed forestry supply chains.

Raised floor

Modtruss homes are designed around an engineered raised timber floor system, subject to site-specific engineering.

Simplified construction

Pre-engineered and coordinated components simplify the transition from design to supply and construction.

Clearer pricing

Standardised designs and defined options allow you to understand package pricing before you buy.

Australian focus

Designed for Australian conditions and supplied through an east-coast network, using Australian manufacturers and suppliers wherever practical.

Built for life
The structural system

Floor, wall and roof. One repeatable component.

A conventional house is framed as three separate systems: floor, walls and roof. Each is designed, cut and assembled independently on site.

Modtruss homes are designed around a repeatable, pre-engineered structural approach in which timber truss components integrate floor, wall and roof framing. Because every home in the range uses the same coordinated system, engineering, supply and assembly become more predictable, and your builder receives a package that has been thought through before it arrives.

The underlying structural technology is protected by intellectual property and employed by Modtruss under licence. Site-specific engineering is confirmed for every order.

ROOFWALLRAISED TIMBER FLOORSITE-ENGINEERED FOOTINGS

Conceptual diagram only. Final member sizes and layout are engineered for each design and site.

Not a shed. Not a transportable.

Proper roof pitches, integrated verandahs and balanced proportions: homes that look designed, because they are.

Configured like a product

Choose a design, a package and your options, and see the price as you go, the way you would configure a car.

You stay in control

Modtruss supplies the home package. You appoint your own licensed builder and manage your build your way.

Sustainability

Building smarter starts with what we build from.

Timber sits at the heart of Modtruss. We use engineered timber efficiently and source it from managed and regrown forestry resources where possible.

Use timber intelligently.

Design efficiently.

Minimise unnecessary material.

Manufacture accurately.

Build for the future.
