Deliver Smarter, Greener Infrastructure with the Panelok System
At Powerhouse Switchrooms, we specialise in delivering highperformance Switchroom solutions using the innovative Panelok building system — a technology that’s redefining speed, sustainability, and structural excellence in industrial construction.
The Panelok system is engineered for maximum efficiency, enabling us to complete custom switchroom projects in up to 50% less time than conventional construction methods. This rapid turnaround is achieved without sacrificing quality — instead, Panelok enhances it through advanced prefabrication techniques that optimise time, materials, and workforce resources.
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.
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.
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.
Deliver 8–10-star energy-rated buildings that reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 70%. Panelok’s fully insulated walls and roofing provide environmentally responsible solutions without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.
At Powerhouse Switchrooms, our team is led by experienced project managers and design specialists who focus on delivering high-performance switchrooms tailored to your specific operational needs. We understand the critical role these structures play in electrical infrastructure and telecommunications, which is why our designs prioritise reliability, efficiency, and long-term functionality.
We provide a full suite of services—from expert project management and innovative engineering to detailed documentation—ensuring your switchroom is meticulously planned and executed from concept through to completion. Every design is shaped by a deep understanding of technical requirements, accessibility, and site-specific considerations.
Our portfolio showcases a strong track record of both fixed and transportable switchroom builds across diverse industries. Whether you need a permanent facility or a modular solution for rapid deployment, our team adapts to your project’s unique conditions and goals with confidence.
Powerhouse Switchrooms is committed to delivering results on time and to the highest standard. We know how critical timelines are in this space and use our project management expertise to keep things moving smoothly and transparently. Through open communication and collaborative problem-solving, we stay aligned with your vision and overcome any challenges along the way.
At Powerhouse, we believe that the success of every project is built on trust, clarity, and strong partnerships. We’re here to work with you at every stage— providing sustainable, durable, and purpose-built switchroom solutions that support your operations now and into the future.
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.
Every Powerhouse switchroom is built with modular efficiency and technical precision. Our construction solutions include:
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.
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/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).
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
