Case Study: Modular Homes | Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)

In this Urbanity-26 Case Study, Westbuilt’s Rick Westerman shares his family’s 33-year journey in modular construction—a business his father founded in 1994 to address trade shortages in remote and regional Australia that Rick and his brothers have subsequently led since 2013.

Using a three-module dental clinic in Gladstone as a case study, he walks through the full turnkey process, from design, DA approval, and factory fabrication through to a seven-week build and on-site installation completed just before Christmas, showcasing modular construction’s speed, quality and ability to deliver high-finish outcomes on tight timeframes.

Rick Westerman is chief development officer at Westbuilt Homes.
