Australian Construction Market Size
The following facts offer some indication of the sheer size of the market we are targeting:
$360B
Annual Revenue
9% of Australia's GDP with 2.4% projected annual growth
1.14M
Workforce
8.7% of total Australian workforce with 7.3% growth (2016-2021)
Prefabrication: Transforming the Market
Production Process
The sudden arrival of new buildings is altering the market. These new constructions are partially a result of prefabricated construction which allows for the production of big components off-site, shipping them to the construction site, and assembling them more quickly than would be possible with traditional bricklaying or other methods.
Prefabrication combines manufacturing and building, resulting in a solution that combines the advantages of lower labour costs with high-quality output because the majority of prefabricated structures are created off-site in a tightly controlled environment.
Market Impacts
Prefabrication is one solution to our national housing crisis which is driven by low housing availability and affordability, low production of public housing, and a shortage of tradesmen nationwide. The knock-on impact of prefabrication may result in reduced mortgages, more homeowners, and reasonably priced rents by minimising the cost of labour, materials, and site hours.
Prefabricated housing is mainly driven by the demand for low to mid-rise residential buildings, project homes, and public housing. Increasing awareness about prefabricated building benefits, such as reduced material waste and less disruption to the surrounding environment, is driving market growth.
Industry Outlook
Current Growth
Revenue in the prefabricated building industry is expected to grow as the rising demand from the government and education sectors has supported the industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the Australian construction industry has faced severe challenges over the past two decades.
Future Potential
High-quality, lightweight, prefabricated modular systems are expected to contribute to housing stock with excellent amenities for occupants at a substantially lower cost when compared with traditional housing. With Australia's population growth expected to see a 60% increase to 37.6 million people by 2050, the industry needs to look to more cost-effective and well-designed inner-city developments at higher densities.
Sustainability & Growth
Prefabricated building systems and construction hold a high potential to improve the efficiency and performance of the Australian construction industry in a more sustainable sense. With the market just opening up in the building industry, generating trust and investments in the technology, the market is open to ample opportunities and can witness strong growth in the coming years.

Australian Prefab Housing Market Overview
Market Growth
Australia's prefab housing sector is growing rapidly and now accounts for 5% of new builds. With advances in technology and a move towards a mass customisation approach, sector experts expect this to triple in the next three years, particularly with the help of a new generation of architects, engineers and builders who are embracing prefabricated housing solutions.
Competitive Landscape
A slew of new and established companies are attracting attention and generating consistent sales and growth. For example, local prefab housing competitors like Dimensions X sell a DIY small home kit at a base cost of $145,000, Ecoliv, modular building designs start at $189,000, and Valley Workshop homes range from $250,000 to $800,000.
While local firms including Prebuilt, Pleysier Perkins, Arkit, and Ecoliv are driving and responding to interest, globally, the prefab industry is far more advanced, with housing at the forefront of sustainability efforts. In Sweden, the home of Ikea flatpacks and houses made of wood, 84% of homes are prefabricated; that number is more than 20% in Germany; while in Japan the homewares brand Muji has created a customisable prefab home.
Housing Needs
In 2023, Australia currently builds circa. 40,000 'owner builder' home projects yet will still produce 100,000 less houses in 2023-2024 than are needed.
Public Housing Landscape
Australian public housing has traditionally been of two main types – inner-city medium to high-rise apartments, and low-density townhouses or fully detached houses on master-planned estates located on, what were at the time of construction, the suburban fringes of cities and towns.
In recent years, not-for-profit social housing providers have developed a more prominent role in providing affordable housing to eligible tenants. These social housing providers include charities, and organisations such as the Brisbane Housing Company, a not-for-profit corporation operated by the Queensland Government and the Brisbane City Council.
Cooperation between state housing departments and social housing providers is increasing, as in Queensland where prospective tenants who are on the waiting list for public housing are now also on the waiting list for social housing.
Target Market & Solution
Research suggests that our priority customers are people with land/homes who are seeking to knock down/rebuild/or build new homes, as well as a secondary market of 9 million average Australians who need a more affordable home solution as they cannot borrow, or have no deposit, or are not able to afford a house under existing price and market and finance conditions.
Gablok DIY house frame solutions open and expand Australia's owner builder segment by empowering our customers to make their dream a reality as our solution is more affordable than traditional construction methods. G.A.M.E is delivering the great Australian dream of home ownership to everyday people.

We Address & Solve Key Social, Environmental & Housing Issues
Our technology and products directly address housing affordability, sustainable construction goals, reduced waste management, a national shortage of tradespeople, and the provision of low-cost housing for vulnerable communities (e.g., veterans, low-income families, indigenous communities).
The following comments highlight our value:
Waste Reduction
The national cost of residential and commercial waste collection and disposal in Australia is a documented costing of between $1.3 and $1.5 billion each year. We reduce a significant volume of residential construction waste production through our use of tightly quality controlled warehouse prefab construction methods and material selection to ensure renewable and recyclable materials are used in our home frame product manufacture.
Affordable Housing
Modelling from production and sales data from Gablok EU suggests housing based on Gablok prefabricated modular wooden framing solutions, when produced in our manufacturing plants, will be at a minimum 25% cheaper than conventional housing alternatives, making home ownership a reality for many low-income families who had already given up on the idea.
Social Housing Crisis Solution
Australia has a significant and growing crisis in social and affordable housing after decades of under-investment by federal and state governments. As of October 2020, there were approximately 430,000 people on waiting lists for public housing and thousands more on NDIS plans. The shortfall in social housing is estimated to be around 450,000 dwellings. Gablok's low-cost, rapid-build system could readily be deployed nationally to build affordable government housing at scale.
Veteran Support
Veteran underemployment, underutilisation and homelessness is resulting in a 2 × higher unemployment rate for this vulnerable sector, and a 3 × higher self-harm and suicide rate. Gablok, founded by veterans, aims to help veterans to continue to serve our country by redeploying them to support our ailing construction sector, giving the men and women who served our country a new way to find purpose.
Unique Competitive Advantages
Patentable Proprietary Technology
Our patentable proprietary technology includes unique processes, technology and formulations to produce, specifically insulated wood composite home frame building components using sustainable, renewable and recyclable materials with reduced production waste.
Efficient Industrial Processes
Our continuous industrial processes – spanning manual labour and automation - allows us to produce state of the art, cost and construction time competitive solutions that save our customers time and money, without having to reduce quality, whilst also reducing large carbon emissions, at 25% less than the traditional material cost of frame construction, and a 50% reduction in house frame construction time.
Veteran Employment
Our production facilities will provide large employment opportunities for veterans nationwide and drive regional employment opportunities where veterans are typically located, and the residential housing sector has stalled.
Superior Building Design
Our building systems are designed from the ground up to be non-combustible, vermin and cyclone proof, and represent a new benchmark in "green sustainability credentials" when compared to traditional buildings.
Sustainable Materials
Our construction materials are formed from sustainable materials, are 'man portable' (ensuring any layman can build with them safely), and all meet Australian Construction Codes.
Flexible Modular System
Our wood home frame construction system is modular and highly flexible, allowing owner builders to achieve their architect designed homes with our system with minimal change or added cost, whilst also enabling owner builders with no set home designs to have a house designed for them at reduced cost.
Quality-Controlled Construction
The Gablok system is the result of a quality-controlled construction method that reduces on-site construction waste and complexities, ensuring a rapid build solution.
Highest Building Accreditations
We have employed and are implementing a national policy of pursuing the highest building accreditations for construction materials, methods, and ESG standards for strength, fire resistance, fibre composition and durability.
Use of Funds
Initial Production Facility
Establishing the first 2,500sqm Gablok manual production warehouse facility on Sydney's Northern Beaches, including on-site staffing facilities for the Australian Gablok team of 10-12 FTE's, to produce 50-75 homes per annum.
Automated Production Warehouse
Design and construction of purpose built 5,000sqm automated Gablok production warehouse (plan below), including on-site staffing facilities for the Australian Gablok team of 10 FTE's, to produce 120-150 homes per annum.
National Accreditation
Finalise core building product and construction method audit, testing, and reporting through Bureau Veritas to achieve national accreditation as a CodeMark certified building product and system.
Manual Production Facility
Automated Production Warehouse
Use of Funds & Long-Term Vision
Initial Component Acquisition
Purchase of 8-10 projects worth of prefabricated house frame components from key suppliers, including Glulam, Rothoblass, Swiss Kronos and PolyFoam. Construction of 10 display homes as well as fabrication of 2 portable display home kits that can be stored in a moveable 20'' shipping container for use at construction industry events and exhibitions.
Expansion (2025-2027)
2025: Funding of AUD $7m required to establish second Australian automated production facility (Auckland or Brisbane, YTBD) to produce 120-160 homes per annum, and a further $7m for third 5,000sqm facility in 2026/27. 10-15% of funding to be allocated to develop locally designed and manufactured automated production machinery to streamline and improve production capacity.
Long-Term Market Transformation
Longer term, our goal is to invest in shifting the market's mindset towards the value of prefab housing. The housing industry is a complex product system (CoPS) that employs site-based construction methods. Prefabricated housing is a promising way of producing housing in factories. This represents a disruptive innovation because it has the potential to transform housing from a complex product into more of a commodity product, with less need for site-based production.
Industry Advantages
Today, it is largely accepted that there are uncontested and substantial advantages including faster all-weather production and therefore quicker return on investment for developers; lower running costs for residents due to factory-driven precision providing air-tight joining of components and superior insulation placement; safer working conditions with no need for working "at height"; and better environmental outcomes for society stemming from reduced running costs, combined with waste minimisation due to repeatable production at a fixed location. Importantly, prefabricated production has become cheaper than on-site production as the prefabricated housing industry matures and gains economies of scale.
Letter from the Director
Dear Investor, On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to invite your participation as a shareholder in G.A.M.E. Pty Ltd.
The Company was registered on 1st July 2023 after a 24-month global RFP process to source the most viable partner, process, and residential construction technology with the express purpose of bringing a new range of precision engineered, sustainable, low cost, and rapid-build residential housing products into Australia's stagnating housing sector.
I've been involved in building houses since I was 18. Way back in 1991 I was the #2 TAFE plumber and gasfitting graduate in Victoria, and over the preceding decades I've actively participated in the sector, watched from the sidelines, and learned (oftentimes the hard way) that Australia's residential construction sector is in dire need of innovation.
That's why we've spent almost two years sourcing a product to bring to Australia a world-first prefabricated, residential manufacturing and DIY construction system for mass production of affordable housing products which we plan to market, manufacture, and sell to our 40,000+ owner builders per annum, as well as wholesale produce and sell in volume as low-cost housing systems to Australia's Tier 1 and Tier 2 construction companies.
The patent pending, low cost, insulated Gablok wooden block building system has been tested and proven under EU standards for strength, fire resistance, fibre composition, and durability, making it an ideal solution for our local market. Basically, it's G.A.M.E. on!
The Intellectual Property (IP) comprises engineering processes, product formulations, processing designs, and trade secrets. The IP processes and methodologies involve configuring composite wooden OSB materials and recycled EPS insulation to form modular timber construction blocks that are used with prefabricated component parts from third-party manufacturers to construct the external and internal frame materials of any standard residential construction.
Following a 24-month global R&D and RFP process, G.A.M.E. aims to build the first manufacturing plant in Sydney, with further planning for 8-10 additional warehouse facilities located in key state and regional production hubs well underway. Research reveals that a single manual production facility can be rapidly 'spun up' in 90 days to produce 50-75 homes pa in regional areas with unmet housing demand (and an excess of available underutilised veteran talent).
The combination of rapid build, low-cost materials, a DIY assembly system targeted at owner builders, and a national shortage of tradespeople, make this is a truly exciting time, and provide a genuine market opportunity to create a nationally scalable business that serves the needs of all parties involved - consumers, creators, and investors alike.
Our home frames comprise a series of industrially manufactured composite materials-based modules that are precision engineered in a Gablok quality-controlled factory and then clicked together on-site, representing a fundamental change in the way buildings are built.
As the director of our product engineering and construction division, I know that applying our revolutionary manufacturing, engineering, systems, and methods to the design and construction of residential buildings will result in a dramatic reduction in build cost, shorten construction times, plus increase our product quality.
When I built homes as a construction engineer in the Army I adopted the systems, methods, and materials my peers used. Today, the game has changed. We can produce the bones of a house in half the time, with sustainable materials, less wastage, and at less cost. It simply makes sense.
As a veteran, I'm proud to be able to continue to serve my country by helping people achieve the great Australian dream. I'm likewise proud to build a business that redeploys our best and brightest. It's the combination of our technology, our team, and our mindset that will ensure G.A.M.E. changes the game.
So, as we enter this exciting new chapter of our journey, I look forward to welcoming you as a Shareholder.

Gablok Manifesto & Business Description
Residential Housing Standards
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards in residential housing production, construction, marketing, and sales. G.A.M.E. is leading the way in providing meaningful redeployment of veterans into the mainstream workforce.
Precision Engineering at Scale
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards by developing residential housing manufacturing plants which will be producing sustainable, precision engineered building systems on an industrial scale, making it possible for us to offer housing in numbers (quantity), price (affordability) precision engineered (quality), no other manufacturer can offer or has offered. (Any Gablok housing product and design is min. 20% cheaper compared to same size and quality standard dwelling).
Speed to Completion
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards in offering customers a high-quality affordable home, guaranteed to be built to lock up stage (ready to move in) within 30 days from start of site development. (*conditions apply: weather permitting etc).
Local Supply Chain Values
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards, that all supply of goods and services of Gablok site productions must be locally sourced where possible. Gablok suppliers must pay fair wages and provide good working conditions for their workforce.
Employee Benefits
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards providing its work force with generous employment conditions. Gablok will contract with each work force member a 4-day working week, market standard superannuation contributions, providing free health insurance including hospital costs cover, and will pay 10% over average national minimum wage conditions, and will contribute, if applicable, to ongoing career development education when requested.
Environmental Responsibility
G.A.M.E. is setting new standards in environmental responsibility and sustainability, as each Gablok plant production will be utilising renewable and recyclable materials as available to minimise wastage and our carbon footprint.
Description of the Business
G.A.M.E. is an unlisted Australian Public Company established with the express purpose to commercialise a new range of precision engineered to application, composite building systems, 'state of the art' prefabricated housing products and associated residential manufacturing processes. Intellectual Property (IP) for processes and materials are licensed from Gablok EU and are exclusively licensed to G.A.M.E. as the Australian and New Zealand licensee.
Gablok EU technology has been developed over many years of research, development, and testing and is currently scaling at pace globally. G.A.M.E. is the official exclusive licensee of Gablok EU, a Belgian based prefabricated 'flat pack' timber housing construction manufacturing company.
The Gablok system is a patent pending revolutionary insulated modular wood frame construction method that delivers a lower cost housing solution for owner-builders that can be DIY built making construction far easier, faster and more cost effective than traditional building methods. The system is comprised of just 10 portable components delivered as a flat-pack construction system with DIY construction plans.
Construction involves connecting insulated modular blocks together by hand, laid directly on to a concrete slab, enabling DIY builders to construct the exterior and interior walls, floor, and ceiling of their homes in a matter of days or weeks, not months. G.A.M.E. was formed to bring this revolutionary construction system to Australia and we are in the process of sourcing warehouse facilities in Sydney to begin manufacturing the Gablok modular system for sale to owner-builders and building companies across the country.
Technology & Products
Our patent pending proprietary technology includes unique processes, technology, and formulations to produce building components produced, in part, from renewable and recyclable materials. Among other things Gablok EU have achieved unique innovations in producing low-cost, affordable, eco-friendly DIY construction solutions and systems for use in residential construction.
Continuous Improvement
Our continuous process improvement mindset and model allows us to produce state of the art residential housing at a reduced price of conventional materials and to a level of precision and quantity way beyond anything else available in market.
Customer Benefits
Our system allows the customer full design configurability and flexibility, along with the certainty that our buildings are non-combustible, vermin and cyclone proof and represent a new benchmark in "green sustainability credentials" when compared to traditional buildings.
Products
The primary focus of our initial production facility will be on manufacturing a series of building systems and components; each one comprised of a composite OSB shell and EPS core. A custom designed extrusion mould and production process provides the core construction system wooden block component that meets Australian construction standards around structure, strength, lightness, and rigidity.
Our wooden block modules are formed in various shapes and sizes using both a manual and automated production process to accommodate the requirements of each residential project. Our product material sizes are multiples of dimensions of a standard shipping container to facilitate freighting and to minimise freight charges. Final product panel sizes are designed to allow easy assembly and fitting for ultimate product reassembly by G.A.M.E. production assembly teams.
The range of finished products we, and our suppliers, will produce includes:
  • OSB and EPS insulated wooden construction blocks;
  • Glulam lintels, bearers and joists for roofing and flooring;
  • PolyFoam EPS insulation cubes for use in OSB wooden blocks;
  • H2 treated timber pine internal wall panels; and
  • AAC construction concrete foundation blocks.
The Company's finished products manufactured by our industrial manufacturing systems and external production partners can compete most favourably on price, quality, quantity, and speed of production with all other building materials in their respective markets and categories.
Strategic Objectives and Timelines
G.A.M.E. Pty Ltd was incorporated on 1st July 2023 as an Australian Unlisted Public Company. The company was formed to develop the large-scale manufacturing and commercialisation of innovative, high-quality affordable, DIY prefabricated housing solutions. The company has obtained exclusive licensing rights from a European-based technology company to market, manufacture and sell its innovative residential product solution in Australia and New Zealand. Under this exclusive licensing arrangement G.A.M.E. is the only permitted user of the IP.

First-of-kind Production Facility
We aim to build our first G.A.M.E. production plant in Sydney as a showcase for our IP processes and methodologies that involve utilising renewable and recyclable construction materials in high turnover/volumes to precision engineer composite, modular building systems for consumers and wholesale buyers. A single G.A.M.E. production facility can produce 50-100 homes systems per annum, depending on availability of staff and workforce rotation, and as such our planning and market demand easily justifies 8-10 G.A.M.E. production facilities across Australia.
The initial G.A.M.E. production facility consisting of a 2,500sqm+ warehouse that combines storage of wooden OSB block materials, storage of Glulam bearers, joists and lintels, Rothoblass fixtures and fittings storage, storage of PolyFoam EPS insulation blocks and a 15-metre production line for the manual construction of building blocks.
OSB & ESB Block Construction Process
The G.A.M.E. manual construction block production line is powered by 4 FTEs who manually collect, assemble, insulate, and flat pack the construction blocks that comprise 80% of the Gablok DIY prefabricated home construction system.
Building Elements
Our Business Model
G.A.M.E. has been granted an exclusive license by Gablok EU to pursue the planning and establishment of its manufacturing plants, developing and distributing building products using the proprietary modular timber, 'green', sustainable technology throughout Australia and New Zealand. Our products/activities include:
Manufacturing
Unique residential construction products using sustainable materials
Sales
Completed house frame packages constructed from renewable materials
Production
Establishing production plants at key sites across ANZ to manufacture Gablok products
Collaboration
Sub-licensing / collaborating with key parties for reselling Gablok systems across ANZ
Supply Chain
Developing supply chains, key contractual and other arrangements to originate and operate
We have identified a number of stakeholders who benefit from our unique technology-based housing products, including governments, house buyers, builders, and property developers with tracts of Crown land unviable for development using traditional house building metrics.
Our preliminary research has confirmed that there are significant numbers of next generation home buyers, who when told about our affordable product, simply ask when can we sign to purchase a home? We have experienced an unexpectedly positive public response and met with immediate huge demand whenever we promote our product across social media.
We have deliberately refrained from active marketing until commercial scale production capacity is established. Despite our "under the radar" approach we have received considerable initial interest from major residential property development groups who typically market new home estates to first home buyers. Unsolicited interest is potentially enough to underwrite our first commercial scale production plant, and achieve pre-production sales in substantial amounts, as we prepare to build 10 display homes to assist pre-plant production marketing and sales.
Corporate Structure and Governance
The final Shareholder Register is not finalised. Those with interest expressed presently have been listed indicatively on this table, although all holdings are subject to discussion and agreement between final shareholders.
Due to compliance with privacy Laws, and NDA, G.A.M.E. is not permitted to disclose some of its investment holders. On completion of this Offer, the Existing Shareholders will own a percentage of the issued capital of the Company. Shareholders investing pursuant to this Prospectus will own the nominated $ value issued shares being a selected % of investments accepted by G.A.M.E. Pty Ltd.
The Share per Investment
Once operational, it is calculated that the added value to G.A.M.E from the Sydney 2,500sqm manual pilot plant, when in full time operation, will generate revenues of AUD $5 million per annum. Each subsequent 2,500sqm manual plant will repeat and compound this figure annually.
Full 5,000sqm automated production plant revenue is expected to be a min. of AUD $12 million per annum. G.A.M.E. aims to develop 5 x 2,500sqm and 5 x 5,000sqm plants by 2033.
Market Analysis
The current global Residential Housing market is estimated to be worth in abundance of USD 29 trillion. Even though engineering sophistication is increasing, the variety of the building materials utilised remains unsophisticated and have an ever-increasing pricing structure.
Current Market
Approximately 90% of all residential single storey townhouses and apartment buildings are built with timber, brick and concrete, along with an array of sandwich panels and dry wall (gypsum). Additionally, the market is highly concentrated with only one or two major players in each market holding the majority share.
Raw materials like timber in 2021 have increased by 50%. Steel and other materials have increased by 20% plus.
Our Target Market
Our research and planning suggest our potential customers are Australia's owner builder segment, which equates to 40,000 home build projects per annum. Our lower product cost, sustainability focus, ease of DIY system, and the design flexibility offered by G.A.M.E.'s products will alter the market considerably.
G.A.M.E. plans to engage this large existing sector with its new product that will be beneficial to new home buyers or renovators, substantially increasing affordability.
Market Opportunity
We are excited by the potential local market demand from our prospective buyers in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. Currently, there are generations waiting to be able to afford to buy their first house but have never been able to because the starting point for home ownership was too high (until now).
Similarly, the local market for social and community housing consists of at least 500,000 Australians that require housing yesterday and is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions each year. Government shortfalls in investment and production of social housing has led to a national crisis in the provision of affordable, quality housing solutions for vulnerable Australians, resulting in the government launching a $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund that aims to make available a minimum of 1,200 dwellings in each state over the first five years of the Housing Australia Future Fund.
Finally, the demand for low cost, rapid build housing in Australia has been driven by a series of natural disasters that are still impacting thousands of Australian families years after they occurred. For example, Australia's Black Friday fires and Brisbane flooding and their resulting consequences created a need for large numbers of emergency houses, as such G.A.M.E intends to offer supply contracts for social and community housing solutions using Gablok technology with major public agencies including the NSW Department of Communities and Justice and the NSW Land and Housing Corporation.
Production Capacity
At this stage our projected sales per plant are limited by production capacity limitations of up to 75 manually produced homes per annum per 2,500sqm plant, and up to 150 homes per annum per 5,000sqm automated plant. We are forecasting to sell all of our production from each plant into Australia and New Zealand's residential home sales market when in production.
With initial plant production capacity of >75 homes per annum commencing in Q2 2023-2024 and additional capacity of >75-150 homes per annum per plant coming on-line every 6-12 months this number will essentially grow to 1,000 houses produced per annum by 2029.
Competitive Advantages
Our product stands apart from traditional building materials:
Composition
Traditional development materials such as bricks, cement and gypsum require skilled labourers to install and also require post-installation processing (such as painting). These raw construction materials are also increasingly expensive and not environmentally sustainable.
Installation
G.A.M.E. frame systems are a stand-alone finished framing product that DIY owner-builders can construct by hand, thereby reducing the time and cost to build using licensed building contractors. The systems modular design ensures owner builder design flexibility as well as ease of construction as Gablok kits "click together like a Swiss Watch" on site.
Competitive Analysis
Environmental and Cost Benefits
Green
Gablok systems utilise an environmentally sustainable green production process, with negligible CO2 emissions and an almost complete elimination of CO2 emissions when built on location.
Low-cost
The use of prefabricated construction blocks formed from recycled and renewable materials makes it possible to sell the end product to build affordable housing. Our frame systems are 20-30% cheaper than traditional materials.
Competitors
The market segments that we are entering have a number of established large and small competitors, but all offer their range of products at pricing that is on average higher, and with limited ability for an owner builder to construct their own home.
Prefabricated Home Sector
This sector accounts for around 5% of new home builds, with local firms including Prebuilt, Pleysier Perkins, Arkit, and Ecoliv that are driving and responding to interest.
Dimensions X
Produces an architect-designed prefab house product, called OM1, that is both affordable and sustainable. Their prefab homes are customisable to each client and can be built in a matter of weeks. Dimensions X generated 7,000 customer enquiries in just weeks of launching their product in the market. Their DIY houses start at a base cost of $145,000, which includes the shell and the materials used for construction.
Ecoliv & Valley Workshop
At modular building company Ecoliv, modular building designs start at $189,000, whilst at Valley Workshop new prefab homes typically range from $250,000 to $800,000.
Modscape
Has been in the business of prefab houses for more than a decade. As one would expect from an acclaimed builder, Modscape's work is tailored to each client's needs. They offer fully kitted homes (including landscaping and renewable energy and water systems) along with module-only services.
Ecoliv Buildings
Founded in the late 2000's. The company built its first modular house display in 2009 and has since demonstrated a commitment to locally sourced and sustainable residential architecture. They claim to be the only prefab home builder to offer a 10,000-litre water tank and 1.8kw solar power system as part of their residences.
Prebuilt
Since launching in 2003, Prebuilt has shifted much of its focus to commercial construction. The residential still comprises about 40% of their overall work, however, the aptly named Prebuilt offers both custom and predesigned modular homes.
Archiblox
Despite being one of the younger companies in market (established in 2012), Archiblox has grown quickly. While the company does offer custom design services, they also offer a very substantial range of existing designs and floor plans.
Arkit
Was one of the 2019 winners of the Sustainability Award from Architecture & Design Magazine. The company combines panelised and modular construction. In addition to full homes, they offer design-build services for sustainable additions and renovations. They adhere to the tenets of Passive House construction, which is aimed at producing residences that are as much as 90 per cent more efficient than traditional homes.
Competitive Analysis: Australian Prefab Housing Market
Habitech
Boasts it can get a home weather secure in a matter of weeks compared to months for a traditional house. Habitech uses composite magnesium oxide/timber boards that are certified for carrying loads and enduring pressure from winds. These and other components help Habitech homes achieve as much as a 70 per cent reduction in energy for heating and cooling when compared to a 6 Star-rated home.
CarbonLite
Produces its own wall, floor, and roof material known as PANELlite. They tout this material's ability to increase home efficiency by as much as 90% over traditional home panelling. They can typically achieve lock-up within a single day.
Ehabitat
Is one of the smaller modular construction companies on this list, using a patented system in their prefab houses that the company says allows for endless layout design possibilities. Ehabitat works on residential projects of all types, from small homes to large family properties. Each home is based on the Eframe, a system of numbered elements that are bolted together on-site.
Ecoshelta
Describes its current offerings as the result of more than 30 years of evolution by architect Stephen Sainsbury. The structures began as humble Japanese-joined timber pavilions to the modern and elaborate steel and wood modular houses the company offers today. Ecoshelta's designs can be linked together to form a residence of a desired size and are capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Ecoshelta's prefab tough pods and e.pods can be "easily transported and erected anywhere, in as little as a day."
MODE Homes
A finalist for the "Innovation of the Year" Sustainability Award, features a patented process that allows homeowners to customise the design of their modular home. MODE Homes uses a folding system that allows the largely-completed homes to be transported easily from the factory to the installation site.
Fairweather Homes
Is truly a veteran in Australia's prefabrication home space. Founded in 1982, Fairweather Homes' modular home designs are in partnership with MODUS Architects, which relies on their system to customize designs. The company has built more than 450 modular residences throughout Australia, offering a hard-to-beat level of expertise.
Strine Environments
Is another veteran of prefab home construction, with 30 years of experience. In addition to design and construction, Strine Environments offers precast that is not only sustainable but resistant to bushfires.
Valley Workshop
Is led by father-daughter team Warren French and Penelope Haley. French has more than 30 years of experience in residential and commercial construction. He became an accredited architect in 1996. Valley Workshop's prefab homes are made using Tasmanian hardwood skin and internal grilles.
G.A.M.E. Manufactured Homes
There are no other truly competitive products in the market when comparing price, quality, DIY capability, and our ability to mass produce housing. Only a few on the market cost-effectively compete with our building system and product but fall short in other areas. Our advantage to traditional, conventional materials and prefab solutions include: Installation – the Gablok frame system is precision built to enable an owner builder to click the frame together on site.
Highly Competitive Pricing
The advantages of modularisation and industrialised construction are well known and documented. In various research reports, including the 2019 McKinsey report on Modular construction: 'From projects to products' defined as:
Reduced construction time by 50% and potential to reduce costs by 30%;
Increased speed to market which can lead to increased revenue potential;
Ease of construction, particularly in urban and/or congested areas;
Reduced waiting time in sequencing of construction;
Reduced wastage and carbon emissions;
Avoids possible delays and quality issues due to weather – the controlled environment of the factory improves precision and certainty. The move to robotics would improve this further;
Increased certainty and reduction of rework;
Improves opportunity to use alternative materials which would otherwise be difficult to transport to site.
A core component underpinning our market competitiveness is that the Gablok EU IP that has been licensed provides us with the ability to generate a complete house frame 'Bill of Materials' and house frame construction quote in minutes.
Risks Facing the Business
Any business undertaking investment has general risks associated with it, as well as specific risks that may be associated with an industry, market or unique investment opportunity. An investment in G.A.M.E. should be considered speculative but in part selectively mitigated with a huge market demand for its range of products. We cannot foresee every issue or risk that may affect our strategy or business however we have sought to outline in the following table those main risks that we anticipate and how we plan to mitigate those risks.
Regulatory approvals required and political risks
The Company is able to sell the Gablok products. Given the close ties and mutual recognition of standards between Australia and EU, the risk of not gaining approval is deemed low. Entering retail trade (i.e., bricks and mortar) in other markets, such as Singapore, Malaysia and China require the manufacture of compliant product with compliant labelling and ultimately approval by the importing country's regulatory authorities.
Supply-chain breakdown
The supply chain, beginning from input suppliers to stock manufacturers through to sales and distribution of stock to end customers, is varied and complex and involves several third parties. There are multiple channels in each jurisdiction; however, should any part of the supply chain fail, this could have a serious impact on the ability to supply goods in a safe and timely manner to distributors, retailers, and end customers.
New Brand/New products
G.A.M.E. / Gablok is a new brand and a relatively new business. We are looking to launch a number of brand extension products and there are no guarantees about how well they might be received in the market. Our goal is to expand into other states and territories and overseas markets. Given our ambitious expansion plans, including the need to recruit and manage additional staff and strategic partners, we may face delays in securing such staff or partners or delays in opening up sales channels, and in gaining brand awareness and sales traction. Significant investment will be required to roll out, market and sell Gablok products nationally, and we are unable to provide any guarantees about future sales, profitability or how long this might take.
Investment Liquidity
The Company's shares are illiquid and there are no guarantees of an exit event, albeit a number of exit events are considered possible. G.A.M.E. will be investigating possible listing/reverse merger options for the company's shares on the ASX as a basis for providing more liquidity for its shares.
Risks Facing the Business
Dependence on Key Executives
The Company acknowledges the importance of its key personnel, details of whom are contained in Section 2.8, are key to its success, particularly in the short term while the business is in its start-up stage and personal goodwill is being built up with various third parties with whom the Company has collaborated. We will legally formalise all key relationships as a mitigation strategy.
Reliance on the licensing of the Gablok system
The Company was formed for the purpose of developing, marketing and licensing the Gablok System. The Company conducts no other business and owns no other significant intellectual and contractual assets except those related to the ownership and licensing of the System. As a result, the Company's profitability primarily depends upon the availability of sufficient revenue being generated from the future licensing of the Gablok System.
Reliance on Plants
It is not expected that revenue will be generated unless and until plants utilising the Gablok System are built and become operational. The profitability of the Company therefore depends upon Plants being built and becoming operational.
Plant Contracts
The Company has contracted and relies upon third parties in connection with the further development of the Gablok System, as well as in connection with the financing of construction and operation of the Plants. If the third parties do not perform their contractual obligations to the Company, the development of the Gablok System, the construction and operation of the Plants, and the generation of revenue for the Company, may be adversely affected. The fees payable by third parties to the Company are dependent upon the value of the contract with the respective third party.
Financing Considerations
It is envisaged that the building of the initial Plants will be financed through this raise process, with further Plant production being funded by G.A.M.E. profits and/or future funding rounds. If finance is not available for these Plants these production systems may not be built.
Technological Risk
Further research and development to enhance/improve/replace the Gablok manual production process with automated production capabilities is required to ensure product quality, improve production capacity, and drive market scale. The level of R&D required may be higher than anticipated, and the available funds, essentially the funds raised pursuant to this Prospectus, may not be sufficient to enable sufficient development to be carried out to bring the Company to the point where the technology can be implemented, and Plants can be built. Even assuming a Plant is built, as with any complex technology, significant construction and operational problems at the Plants can arise.
Risks Facing the Business
Construction Risk
Construction Risk Plants have not yet been constructed. As with any major construction effort, the completion of the Plants involves many risks, including shortages of materials and labour, work stoppages, labour disputes, unusual weather conditions, unforeseen engineering, environmental, subsurface or geological problems, earthquakes, unanticipated difficulties in obtaining any requisite licences, permits or approvals and unanticipated cost overruns, any of which could increase the cost or delay the construction or commercial operation of the Plants. Any material delay or unsatisfactory completion of the Plants could prevent the Company from receiving part of its revenue from the various licensing agreements into which it has entered.
Competition
Competition G.A.M.E. is not aware of the existence of any businesses with comparable operations, but other parties may establish competing facilities in the future. The Company will face competition in relation to its end product, and these competitors may have greater production capacity and may have available greater financial resources and, therefore, may be better able to compete in the relevant markets.
General Considerations
A number of factors outside the Company's control may have a significant impact on G.A.M.E.'s performance and the price of its Shares, including:
  • The economic global and local outlook in Australia and New Zealand;
  • Investor perceptions and stock market conditions;
  • Changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; and
  • Developments in the building and other raw industrial material industries generally.
There are also risks associated with any investment in the stock market. Returns from an investment in Shares will depend on general stock market conditions as well as the performance of Haussmann Limited establishment of its large industrial profit centres. There can be no guarantee that an active market in the Company's Shares will develop or that the market price of the Shares will not decline below the Offer Price. The price of shares, including of Haussmann Limited can fall as well as rise.
