Podular SEQ Pty Ltd is registered Australian Company since 2011 with Australian Business Number (ABN) 12 107 920 169 and Australian Company Number (ABN) 107 920 169. We operate a Joint Venture subsidiary in Asia, using the Podular brand together with the esteemed Top Value Inc Group Philippines. “Podular” is a registered trademark.

Podular closed its Australian factory in 2015. Today we continue to focus on property development projects that are primarily conducive with Modular and Prefab products or shipping containers. From Cities to Regions in Australasia and South East Asia, our reach is wide. Residential, Commercial, Accommodation Villages, Hotels, Capsule Hotels, Pet Hotels ect.

Podular is an Australian Corporation with a focus on the off-site construction. We are so passionate about our space that we created three online Marketplaces where members can Sell, Promote and Hire an array of related products. Recently, we launched our most exciting marketplace, where members offer professional services. 

1. Podular Hire is a public online marketplace for users to hire/rent product from members worldwide who wish to hire their product
2. Podular Services is a public online marketplace for users to hire professional members from worldwide locations. Podular also offer their services on this site
3. Podular Store is a public online marketplace for users to buy from our members in worldwide locations. Products include shipping containers, modular, and ancillary products such as building materials (Coming Soon)

Although the terms ‘modular’ and ‘prefab’ are sometimes used interchangeably, it’s helpful to draw a distinction between them. Any component of a building that is manufactured in a factory before arrival and installation at the building site is prefabricated — or ‘prefab’ for short. Modular construction is a specific type of prefab construction. A building could be made entirely of prefabricated components, such as:

• Roof trusses
• Wall panels
• Floor trusses
• Pre-cast concrete foundation walls and slabs
• Staircases, elevators, etc.
• Bathroom or kitchen modules
• Structural modules

Prefab components can be made of different materials, including wood, steel, and concrete. Some of these components can be more or less finished before being transported to the site and installed. For example, wall panels could be ‘open’ — arriving on-site without insulation, vapor control layers, or external cladding. Or they could arrive at the building site complete with insulation, vapor control, windows, doors, electrical wiring, ducting, and cladding.

Modules are a specific kind of prefab component that enclose space — such as an entire room. This contrasts with ‘flat’ prefab components like wall panels and roof trusses that don’t enclose space. Because they enclose space, modules are also referred to as 3D or volumetric. Entire modules are built in a factory and then delivered to the site for installation.
