The early days

Westbuilt was founded in 1993 after Jim Westerman decided to leave the Brisbane modular home company he was working for and move to Warwick.

After completing a few extensions and general building work, Jim completed his first 'Westbuilt' modular home in Stanthorpe, QLD in the middle of 1994.

Modular in focus

In 2003, the company decided to focus only on relocatable homes. It started expanding into the manufactured and system-built home market, growing from 3 staff to 7 over the following five years. During this time Jim’s sons, David, Michael and Richard all started with the company.

Mining experiment

In 2011, the company experimented with the introduction of Westbuilt Modular, supplying buildings into the commercial and mining markets. Following the downturn of the mining market, this arm of the business was discontinued.

Becoming your preferred custom modular builder

2012 marked the establishment of our new factory at Project St, Warwick. Specially set up for building manufactured homes and based on the LEAN manufacturing method, we could now offer homes to our clients with better quality, more inclusions and less waste.

The directors also decided that we should move on from our experiment with mining, and focus solely on building high-quality, custom-built modular homes for clients across QLD and NSW.

This strategy has been successfully implemented, and the company has continued to grow in experience, quality and earnings. In 2019, we were able to increase our team with a dedicated in-house drafter and another salesperson.

Currently, our team consists of more than 70 staff, at two locations in Warwick and Loganholme.

Frequently asked questions

What are modular homes?

A modular home (also known as a manufactured, transportable, or prefabricated home) is a house that is 80% completed in a factory rather than on-site. The home is then transported in sections to your site where it is installed and fully completed. Once established on-site, these types of homes are considered to be permanent fixtures, just like an on-site-built home. It is important to note that banks will still lend to modular home builders.

What is the difference between Modular and Kit Homes?

Modular homes are a full-service solution, built offsite and delivered in large modules. Kit homes come as a "kit of parts" for assembly using traditional methods on-site. You will require a builder to complete the build for a kit home.

Is modular construction cheaper and quicker?

Modular homes are generally built faster, with a typical build time of around 16 weeks. Costs can vary, modular homes may be more economical in remote areas but not necessarily cheaper in other locations. Choosing a Westbuilt Home means a high-quality, luxury home delivered faster and with less stress.

Do I need Council approval for a modular home?

Yes, modular homes require council approval just like traditionally built homes. Our team will handle and lodge all necessary approvals, with the fees included in your price.

Do you handle all council applications?

Yes, standard council building and plumbing approvals are included in the cost of your home. Additional costs may apply for development approvals or relaxations.

What is the warranty?

Westbuilt offers a 12-month minor defect warranty and a 10-year structural warranty. Our homes adhere to current NCC and Australian standards, providing a design life of 50 years.

We also custom design & build to perfection.
