Affordable Housing

Housing affordability in Australia’s main cities is generally accepted as being at crisis point. Leading causes for this include population growth, high construction costs, rampant land values and restrictive land use regulation based on urban-containment policies.

HOW Social Construct brings precision modular construction to the market with a range of medium and high density housing solutions which are built to high quality specifications, quickly and at an affordable price.

We’re committed to working with government agencies, community housing providers, property developers, charities and NGO’s to bring the benefits of modular construction to the fore and to help address the challenges around housing affordability.

Social Housing

Australia has a proud history of providing housing to those in our communities who suffer from health or economic disadvantage. Unfortunately demand for housing support in Australia far exceeds supply. In NSW alone there are 60,000 households on the waiting list with average wait time is between seven and tens years in metropolitan Sydney.

The NSW Government is seeking to transform the social housing through a new an initiative known as Future Directions for Social Housing in NSW which aims to address the challenges around supply.

Through citizen centric design and precision modular construction methods, HOW Social Construct is seeking to collaborate with federal and state government agencies, community housing providers (CHPs) and NGOs to design and build the next generation of social housing.

HELPING
EVERYONE HAVE A
GOOD HOME

We aspire to build efficient, high quality homes in environments which support the delivery of social services promote social connection and community. Together we believe we can achieve meaningful and measurable impact and improve outcomes for social housing tenants.

HOMELESS, TRANSITIONAL AND EMERGENCY HOUSING

Every night over 100,000 Australians suffer from some form of homelessness, however the faces of rough sleepers you imagine represent only 6% of the total number.

HOW Social Construct’s mission is to work in partnership with both metropolitan and regional charities, NGO’s, religious organisations and government agencies to assist with building safe and secure housing for those in vulnerable housing situations.

Through the use of precision modular construction, HOW Social Construct can design and construct cost effective, modern and secure accommodation solutions to meet a range of social housing challenges throughout Australia.

Cost Benefits of Modular Construction

Precision Modular Construction introduces a range of benefits including the creation of significant cost economies across projects, in particular capital build and financing costs.

BUILD COST DRIVERS

These allow reductions in the overall capital costs by 10%-30%.

These drivers include…

Economies of scale through bulk materials selection and procurement at source
Reduced construction wastage
Efficient, skilled and centralised workforce reduces overhead
Modules are complete prior to shipping and install which reduces variations and overall development risk

FASTER BUILD

Modular building is 30% – 50% faster than traditional building methods significantly improving project NPV by reducing time to market, financing and holding costs and developer’s overheads.
