Frequently Asked Questions

What does Modus Australia do?
Modus Australia designs, manufactures and delivers prefabricated public toilet buildings for local government, education and architects across Australia. We've specialised in this since 1999, offering four building types with a 20-year structural warranty.
How long does a public toilet building project take from start to finish?
A typical Modus project takes 14–18 weeks for off-site manufacture and 1–2 weeks for on-site installation, around 15–20 weeks from purchase order to handover. See our Easily Done process for more.
How much does a Modus prefab public toilet building cost?
Cost varies by building type, size, finishes and customisation. The supply price covers the prefabricated building only — site works (slab, plumbing, electrical) are typically separate. Book a free design consultation for a tailored quote or grant-ready budget estimate.
Do Modus public toilet buildings comply with AS 1428 and the NCC?
Yes. All Modus buildings are designed and engineered to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and AS 1428 accessibility standards, with certified engineering, materials datasheets and accessibility drawings provided for approvals and handover.
What makes Modus toilet buildings vandal-resistant?
Modus buildings use a range of solutions to help combat vandalism such as Mini Orb steel internal cladding, heavy-duty stainless steel fixtures, steel-clad timer doors and graffiti-resistant coatings. CPTED principles are built into every floorplan, and external cladding is easily replaced if damaged. See our vandal-resistance approach.
Where in Australia does Modus deliver public toilet buildings?
Modus delivers nationwide across Australia, with project consultants based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. We're an approved supplier on every major state-based council procurement panel: LGP (NSW), MAV (VIC), Local Buy (QLD), WALGA (WA), LGAT (TAS) and LGA Procurement (SA).
