Our Vision and Values

Our vision is to become the leading provider of Industrial buildings

What we can offer

Cost-efficient from foundations to finishes

Lightweight panels minimise foundation requirements, saving costs from the ground up. Pre-prepared components ensure quicker plumbing, electrical, and joinery installations, reducing labour hours and maximising profitability.

Up to 50% faster than traditional builds

Panelok’s precision-engineered flat-pack system enables projects to reach lock-up stage in just days, drastically reducing timelines. Panels arrive ready to install, requiring a three-person team, streamlining the process for efficient, high-quality builds.

Unmatched architectural versatility

Panelok adapts seamlessly to any architectural vision, from bespoke residential homes to complex commercial projects. Builders and developers can meet diverse client demands while maintaining precision, efficiency, and quality.

Energy efficiency meets sustainability

Sustainable Infrastructure – Built to Last

Sustainability is a core value at Powerhouse. That’s why we’ve chosen the Panelok system, which delivers a 70% reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional building methods. As demand grows for environmentally responsible infrastructure, Panelok places us at the forefront of eco-conscious, future-ready Switchroom construction. With multiple international patents, the system has proven its performance across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

Integrated Systems – Precision Engineered

Every Powerhouse switchroom is built with modular efficiency and technical precision. Our construction solutions include:

  • Pre-finished and insulated wall panels
  • Engineered roof trusses
  • Integrated gutters and drainage
  • Roof and ceiling battens
  • Emergency exit doors
  • R3 ceiling insulation
  • 3 insulation blankets under roof sheeting

These components are designed to ensure thermal stability, energy efficiency, and long-term durability — essential for critical infrastructure such as electrical, communications, and industrial installations. With Powerhouse Switchrooms and Panelok technology, you can expect faster delivery, lower environmental impact, and superior quality — every time.

Durability and Resilience

Panelok buildings are constructed using high-quality BlueScope steel for all wall framing, ensuring exceptional durability and strength. This choice of material contributes to the long-lasting nature of our structures, equipped with a rust-proof system that protects against corrosion, even in the most challenging environmental conditions.

Safety and Compliance

Safety/120/120 Fire Resistant Safety is paramount in our building designs. 

Panelok structures are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, including strong winds, cyclones, earthquakes, and floods. We incorporate features to resist termites and mould, enhancing the longevity and safety of our buildings. All buildings are designed in compliance with Australian standards and NCC.

Furthermore, our steel-framed structures are built with non-combustible materials, complying with rigorous fire safety standards, achieving both 60/60/60 and 120/120/120 Fire Resistance Levels (FRL).

Energy Efficiency Ratings

Our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency is reflected in the energy ratings of our buildings, which typically achieve 8 to 10-star ratings.

This high performance is made possible through the use of energy- efficient materials and construction methods, making our buildings not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective in terms of energy
