Building on an urban site doesn’t need to mean months of noise, disruption, and inconvenience. At Ecoliv, we believe sustainable living starts with smart design and a streamlined process—so we’ve reimagined what it means to build in Australia’s cities.
Our prefab modular homes are crafted to address the unique challenges of urban sites, offering a faster, cleaner, and more efficient alternative to traditional construction. Whether you're based in Melbourne’s inner north or Sydney’s leafy suburbs, Ecoliv makes building better—and quicker.
Why prefab modular is the smarter way
In high-density suburbs like Brunswick, Northcote, or Marrickville, traditional builds can cause long-term disruptions to neighbours, blow out timelines, and strain budgets.
At Ecoliv, your home is precision-built off-site in our EcoHub construction facility while your site is prepared simultaneously. Your modules are delivered complete and installed in a matter of days—meaning minimal impact on surrounding properties, reduced waste, and significantly less stress for you.
From compact inner-urban lots to rear-access laneways, we offer a smoother, more respectful way to build in built-up environments.
Less disruption, happy neighbours
We understand the reality of building in urban areas—tight spaces, sensitive neighbours, limited street access, and strict council overlays. That’s where our prefab modular process shines.
- Shorter build timelines reduce noise and site activity
- Fewer deliveries and minimal on-site waste mean a cleaner construction footprint
- Crane installation lifts modules over fences, trees or buildings—ideal for backyards and inner-city infill sites
- Council overlays or height restrictions? No problem. Our designs are designed to meet local planning requirements without compromising on comfort or aesthetics
Whether you're adding a secondary dwelling in Coburg or starting fresh with a knockdown rebuild in Paddington, our modular solutions meet your goals—faster.

Build with certainty, speed and peace of mind
Every Ecoliv home is designed with efficiency and ease in mind. By constructing your home off-site, we avoid common delays from unpredictable weather or on-site contractor availability. The result? A faster project timeline and greater peace of mind.
In fact, our design and construction process reduces months of the typical timelines of traditional builds—so you can move in, rent out, or enjoy your new space sooner.
For homeowners staying put during a knockdown rebuild, that means more time in your current home and less spent on temporary accommodation. For investors or those adding a backyard dwelling, life continues as usual while your home takes shape in our EcoHub facility.
Designed for flexibility and built for life
Our homes are designed to suit your needs—whether you're:
- Downsizing for a simpler lifestyle
- Creating multi-generational space for family
- Building a compact, energy-efficient multi residential investment property
We guide you on the design and construction journey to deliver a home that works for your lifestyle and site — without compromising on the environment.
Purpose-built for the Urban environment
We’ve design and delivered high-performing prefab modular homes across Melbourne and Sydney’s most tightly-held suburbs—from Fitzroy North to St Kilda to the Northern beaches of North Narrabeen. Each site comes with unique challenges and opportunities, and we thrive on creating customised solutions that integrate seamlessly into their surroundings.
Ecoliv homes aren’t just designed for rural sites. They’re designed for how and where you live now—urban, connected, and conscious.
