One partner. One contract. Full design, fabrication, fit-out and export — including high-rise volumetric PPVC — manufactured in Thailand, delivered anywhere.
Buildsmart Modular is a partnership between Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI), one of Thailand's leading integrated steel groups, and Buildsmart.
The company combines Buildsmart's proven expertise in Volumetric PPVC design and R&D with SSI's world-class manufacturing infrastructure.
Critically, this includes SSI's own captive deep-sea export port. Our prefabricated modules are designed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and built in Bangsaphan, Thailand.
Together, this brings speed, sustainability, and quality to projects across APAC and beyond.
From fabrication drawings to final fit-out — here's how we deliver comprehensive volumetric construction capability across the full project lifecycle:
Front-end design, feasibility studies, DfMA engineering and BIM coordination — based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Full rigging, MEP, fireproofing, waterproofing and final finishes. Weather-tight in 5 days or fewer.
With Buildsmart, you don't have to choose between speed, quality, and sustainability. Our vertically integrated production-to-port model delivers on all dimensions — guaranteed under one contract.
Factory-parallel production compresses overall programme. Modules arrive on site ready to install — faster to occupation.
A controlled factory environment eliminates weather-related defects. Fully traceable and accessible ITP portal for factory floor and remote access traceability.
Less waste, less site traffic, lower embodied carbon. Our modular process is designed to reduce environmental impact at every stage.
Off-site manufacturing dramatically reduces on-site labour hours and associated risk — better safety outcomes for every stakeholder.
Greater budget predictability through fixed-price fabrication and a compressed programme. Fewer unknowns across design, manufacture and delivery.
Buildsmart Modular manufactures within the SSI Group's integrated industrial complex in Bangsaphan, Prachuap Khiri Khan — 400 km south of Bangkok on Thailand's western peninsula.
This gives us direct access to structural steel at source, a 34,000 m² production facility, and — uniquely — a captive deep-sea export port adjacent to the factory. Prachuap Port Company (PPC) is a wholly owned SSI Group asset, purpose-built to serve group activities, giving Buildsmart a single footprint from factory floor to vessel.
Modular construction delivers its greatest value where complexity, repetition and stringent standards converge. Buildsmart serves four primary sectors across Australia, APAC and beyond.
Projects with intricate components that benefit from precision off-site manufacturing.
Repeating programme types where standardisation improves efficiency and schedule predictability.
Projects with strict quality control or complex logistics requirements.
Rapid modular delivery for select-service hotels. Speed to market with consistent quality — ideal for international operators seeking a kit-of-parts approach.
PBSA is among the largest-scale early adopters of modular construction globally. High volume, standardised modules with extensive wet area works completed — suited to urban and remote sites requiring tight delivery times.
Flexible modular frameworks for BTR apartments, short term stay and co-living developments.
Standardised systems enable large-volume delivery. Addressing the housing gap at scale — without compromising quality or liveability outcomes.
Time. Quality. Sustainability. Safety.
With modular construction you can finally have it all — let our expertise unlock these benefits for your next project.
