We specialise in high quality, customised prefabricated building solutions.
Residential
We offer a turnkey service from initial design consultation through to construction delivery.
ARKit is a specialist practice creating architecturally designed prefabricated additions, renovations and new homes. Our projects are high quality, handcrafted and custom designed.
Through the use of our modular building and panelised construction systems we are able to develop prefabricated building solutions to suit any type of commercial application.
As a design led practice, ARKit works with its clients to develop prefabricated building outcomes for a variety of commercial and multi residential applications.
Aligned with an organisational focus on sustainability, ARKit offers a range of consultancy and construction options to suit varying requirements and to foster Ecologically Sustainable Development. In addition to having a lower carbon footprint, buildings that embody ESD principles have superior thermal comfort and reduced running costs, making them a highly desirable outcome. These options are available for both residential and commercial projects.
We carefully assess and individually approach the design process for each project. We collaborate with our clients to discover their requirements, analyse the site and develop an optimum design response to the project. Our prefabricated building systems have been developed to allow us to explore endless design possibilities in the delivery of both residential and commercial projects
