Our Process

Build Timeline/Process:

Our commitment:

1

Begin by exploring and discussing your project requirements and design preferences. Once your vision is clear, select your preferred floor plan and finishes. From there, we prepare and finalise your quote documentation to move forward with confidence.

Consultation & Planning

Once the design and specifications are finalised, we proceed to secure the necessary permits and formalize a fixed-price contract. A 6.5% deposit is required to initiate the agreement, after which site preparation can begin in alignment with the approved plans.

Your module is manufactured in a controlled environment, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency. From final design approval—particularly for standard designs—the 12-week build timeline proceeds without weather-related delays. During this period, site works can commence in parallel, streamlining the overall construction process and accelerating project delivery.

Factory Construction

4

Modules are delivered to the site through carefully coordinated transport, which often involves route planning and escort vehicles to ensure safe and compliant transit. If you require transport Bijou can provide a transport estimate early in the process, ensuring transparency and confidence from the outset.

Transport & Delivery

Footings are prepared on-site to support the modular structure, ensuring a stable and compliant foundation. Once complete, modules are craned into place and securely installed. Both footing works and installation can be coordinated through Bijou if required.

Installation & Assembly

6

Final service connections—such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC—can be coordinated through Bijou as an optional service.

 FAQs

  • Modular construction offers numerous advantages:

    • Accelerated build times (as little as 12 weeks for the construction phase)

    • Cost efficiencies

    • Consistent quality through controlled factory conditions

    • Sustainability and design flexibility

    For ancillary dwellings, planning approval may not be required if the build complies with local regulations-specifically, remaining within the 70m² limit and meeting setback requirements outlined in your local planning scheme.

  • At Bijou Modular, we understand that your home should reflect your personality, lifestyle, and surroundings. That’s why we offer three distinct architectural design styles — each crafted to harmonise with both your aesthetic preferences and the character of your site.

    Coastal - Inspired by relaxed beachside living, the Coastal style features light, airy spaces, natural textures, and a palette that evokes calm and openness. It’s perfect for those who love a breezy, laid-back feel with a touch of elegance.

    Contemporary - Sleek, modern, and versatile, the Contemporary style embraces clean lines, and minimalist finishes. It suits urban dwellers and design-forward thinkers who value simplicity, functionality, and timeless appeal.

    Industrial - Bold and expressive, the Industrial style showcases raw materials, exposed elements, and a strong architectural presence. Ideal for those who appreciate edgy design and want a home that makes a statement.

    Each style can be further personalised to suit your vision — from façades and finishes to layout and lifestyle features — ensuring your home is not only well-built, but beautifully you.

  • A detailed soil assessment is required so Bijou Modular can engineer a tailored footing system to suit your site conditions. Specific site works may need to be undertaken or alternative footings used to allow for the slope.

  • Yes, as even with standard plans, each site may have unique soil, wind, seismic, or zoning requirements. Engineering ensures the modular components meet local building codes and environmental conditions.

    Customisation of a plan or if the modular build is altered from the original design (e.g., layout changes, different materials), engineering review is needed.

    Engineering is essential to ensure that modules connect safely and meet structural integrity standards.

  • Cyclonic area construction is no problem. Bijou Modular designs and delivers beautifully crafted small modular homes tailored for Western Australia's diverse environments. From tranquil coastlines to remote inland regions, our homes are engineered to thrive—including full compliance with cyclone-rated construction standards. Each plan reflects thoughtful design, timeless aesthetics, and functional elegance, ensuring your home feels both personalised and purposeful.

  • Yes. Transport costs are influenced by both the travel distance and the dimensions of your selected modules. If you require transport an estimate is provided early in the process ensuring clarity and confidence from the outset.

  • Bijou provides a 7 year structural warranty with a 6 month maintenance period.

  • Approvals:

    We manage approvals for:

    • Building permits

    • Water Corporation

    • Septic systems & planning

    Our team coordinates with local councils and authorities to keep your build moving forward.
