Why Modular Is Gaining Momentum: EDGE Consulting Engineers Weigh In

At ModularSales, we believe modular construction is not just about convenience — it’s about smarter, more sustainable ways to build and live. That belief is shared by leaders in the engineering space, including EDGE Consulting Engineers, who have worked with multiple volumetric modular manufacturers across Australia.


What EDGE Consulting Engineers Say

EDGE Consulting Engineers have had the privilege of working with multiple volumetric modular manufacturers across Australia in the residential, education, health, and temporary hire sectors.

They explain that the industry has surged over the past few years due to various factors:

  • Increased government spending in modular housing

  • Relaxation of development approval for granny flats

  • Shortage of skilled trades in remote locations

Likewise, the engineering for these buildings has progressed to construct architectural forms that are a far cry from the ‘donga’ we are all familiar with.


Promoting Circular Economy Through Modular

“We are proud to support ModularSales. I believe that one of the greatest benefits of modular buildings is their ability to be decommissioned and relocated with ease. Through the sale/purchase of these relocatable assets, we are promoting a circular economy.”
— Matt McGrath, Structural Engineering Lead, EDGE Consulting Engineers


Why It Matters

This aligns directly with ModularSales’ purpose: helping suppliers move stock, buyers access flexible housing faster, and keeping high-quality builds in circulation rather than wasted.

Whether you’re in construction, asset management, or just exploring modular options — this shift toward smart, reusable infrastructure is only gaining speed.
