AUGUST 2025 While Podmatrix has not aggressively pursued traditional construction awards, the company was recently recognized for their workforce development with a nomination for the 2025 Tasmania State Training Awards for their ‘Next Gen Trades program,’ which they deliver in partnership with the Master Builders Association. This initiative underscores Podmatrix’s commitment to skills training and long-term industry outlook. Looking ahead, Podmatrix is moving into a new, larger facility at Brighton to consolidate operations from two sites into one purpose-built factory. “Currently, we’re spread over two sites, which isn’t ideal. The new shed will bring everyone under one roof, making supervision easier and production more efficient,” Zack says. “This move will enable us to increase output and improve our product range.” Podmatrix intends to maintain their focus on ancillary dwellings, new builds, and social housing while expanding turnkey site services including civil works, driveways, fencing, and landscaping. “We want to keep providing a complete service— from design and council approvals through to build, delivery, installation, and site finishing,” Zack emphasizes. According to Zack, the completeness of that service offering is what sets Podmatrix apart in Tasmania’s prefab market. “We’re the only transportable building company in Tasmania offering complete steel framing for floor, walls, and roof,” he says. “This makes our units stronger and re-locatable. For example, Homes Tasmania once needed a unit moved from one site to another, and we disconnected, transported, and reinstalled it with minimal renovations—a flexibility most competitors can’t match.” In an industry often challenged by logistics and long timeframes, Podmatrix stands out by delivering flexible, durable, and fast solutions tailored to client needs. Their close-knit company culture, strong local relationships, and dedication to quality set a high bar for transportable building on the island. As they expand their new facility and secure major contracts, Podmatrix is well positioned to lead the way in Tasmania’s prefab construction sector for many years to come.
