The National Reconstruction Fund has invested $120 million into a project designed to show how modular construction - through advanced manufacturing techniques - can deliver affordable prefabricated apartment housing at scale.
The funding will help Built Living - a joint venture between property group Built and Wesfarmers - to start building a pilot factory in Perth later this year.
Built Living chief executive, Dale Connor says the factory will have the capability to produce 750,000 square metres of precast concrete, the equivalent of 2,000 apartments per year, which he claims will deliver prefab houses and apartments 50 per cent faster and 20 per cent cheaper.

- AI costs are rising for Australian businesses even as tokens get cheaper. That's pushing firms to weigh up what value they are getting from the technology.
Stu Scotis, AI leader for consulting firm Deloitte, said the equation of how to spend an IT budget is getting tougher. He says the current conversations are around "tokens": units of data processed by AI to complete tasks. Complex requests use more tokens.
The cost of tokens has plummeted in recent years, with increased competition, more efficient chips and more supply. An unprecedented amount of data centre construction has increased the computing power available in the world. Despite this trend, what companies are spending on AI is rising. That is because firms are finding new tasks for AI to take on, leading to increasingly difficult computations, requiring more tokens per request.
