AltForm prefab slashes construction time 45 percent

Prefabricated home system manufacturer AltForm is launching its first Victorian prototype in Ormond, Melbourne, which can reduce construction time by up to 45 percent, according to the company.

In collaboration with SRH Architecture and Highline Living, the Bayside project will see dual townhouses installed later this month, starting at $2.5 million each.

Executive General Manager Tony Phillips said: “This is a really powerful moment, not just for the Ormond project, but for what AltForm represents.”

AltForm is a patented building system where components arrive on-site prefabricated and predrilled, designed to fit like a puzzle.

On average, single-storey homes are assembled within 10 to 15 days, while two-storey homes take around 20 to 25 days.

“At AltForm, we’re not just building homes, we’re building the future.

“Our prefabricated systems will help developers, governments and communities deliver
housing faster, smarter and more sustainably than ever before.”

The first AltForm prototype was built last year at Eastlakes, New South Wales – a four bedroom and three-bathroom family home.
