Inspur Showcases Modular Construction Capability in Brisbane as Demand for Faster, Scalable Delivery Grows

Industry Leaders Examine Compliance Pathways, AI-Enabled Delivery Models, and Practical Strategies for Deploying Modular Projects Across Australia

BRISBANE, Australia, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 5, 2025, Shandong Inspur Intelligent Building Technology Co., Ltd. ("Inspur Intelligent Building"), a leading provider of smart building solutions, hosted its Smart Construction and Next-Generation Productivity Showcase at the BTP Conference & Exhibition Centre in Brisbane. The gathering brought together a range of Queensland-based builders, developers, design firms, and engineering consultancies for an in-depth exchange on offshore modular manufacturing, pathways for executing modular projects in Australia, and the role of AI technologies across the construction lifecycle. This was Inspur Intelligent Building's first comprehensive introduction of its modular delivery framework and collaborative engagement model to the Australian market, generating strong interest and positive feedback from industry stakeholders.

At the event, Haitao Huang, Chairman of TAUCO Australia Pty Ltd, delivered a detailed presentation on the compliance pathways for offshore modular construction in Australia. He outlined the regulatory environment in full, addressing the national building code structure, applicable Australian Standards, certification requirements for materials and components, documentation and traceability procedures, and both planning and construction approval workflows, as well as key considerations in production quality oversight. Huang stressed that to enter the Australian market, overseas-manufactured modules must be supported by a verifiable, traceable, and archivable set of technical documents and certifications to ensure smooth progression through regulatory reviews and ultimate issuance of occupancy permits.

Following this, Martin Morrow-Woods, Director of Cre8ive Building Concepts Pty Ltd, highlighted the essential steps required to execute modular construction in Australia, drawing on established local construction and design-management practices. He detailed the key elements of on-site implementation, including crane-lift coordination, alignment of structural and mechanical-electrical interfaces, third-party review processes, preparation of final compliance documentation, and the setup of staged inspection milestones. Based on his extensive experience across both residential and medium-density developments, he shared insights into construction compliance, risk control, and final project delivery, providing attendees with a clear, practical roadmap for effective modular implementation.

As the event concluded and transitioned into an open networking session, representatives from numerous participating companies actively engaged with the Inspur Intelligent Building team to explore potential collaboration opportunities tailored to their business needs, sparking multiple active conversations across the venue. Several prospective partners expressed clear interest in collaboration, indicating plans to promptly initiate feasibility studies for modular projects and move forward with pilot projects for on-site validation. Additionally, several builders, in collaboration with the Inspur Intelligent Building team, explored customised, standardised modular solutions for student housing and residential developments based on their land reserves, aiming for deeper integration of technical expertise and resources. Attendees noted that the event not only clarified the feasibility and practical implementation pathways for modular construction in Australia, but also showcased efficient, cost-effective solutions for critical community projects, including student accommodation and affordable housing, providing innovative approaches to easing housing shortages and accelerating project delivery.

Looking ahead, Inspur Intelligent Building will continue to expand China–Australia cooperation in modular-construction technologies, accelerate the implementation of demonstration projects, and strengthen partnerships with local firms through the integration of AI technologies and industrialised building capabilities. By developing practical, innovation-driven collaboration models, the company aims to facilitate Australia's housing programmes and support the construction sector's sustainable growth.
