Evidence of Suitability · A5G3
National Construction Code

Our building system holds BS2318 certification as Evidence of Suitability under NCC 2022 Clause A5G3 — covering structure (AS 1170), damp and weatherproofing, fire safety, energy efficiency, and bushfire-related provisions. Applies to residential and low-rise commercial up to 3 storeys.

WaterMark 060175
WaterMark 060175
AS/NZS 3500 · Prefabricated kitchen, bathroom & laundry modules
Plumbing Certification

WaterMark certificate 060175 covers our prefabricated wet-area modules. Framing, linings, waterproofing, fixture positioning, and interface pre-installation are completed in the factory. Licensed plumbers complete site connections and inspections.

NatHERS 7★
NatHERS 7★
Mandatory: QLD (May 2024)
Energy Efficiency

Factory-integrated passive design: continuous XPS + mineral wool insulation, thermal breaks at all structural junctions, double-glazed windows, and tight envelope airtightness. Specified reference designs may achieve a 7-star NatHERS assessment; each project requires confirmation using the final design and site inputs.

BAL-12.5 to BAL-40
BAL-12.5 to BAL-40
AS 3959 · BAL-capable configurations available
Bushfire Attack Level

BAL-capable configurations are available, subject to project bushfire assessment and applicable construction details. Specific BAL ratings must be confirmed for each project based on site assessment and final design.

Hazardous Materials

All modules ship with a written asbestos-free declaration and full material traceability records. Specified materials are supported by asbestos-free supplier declarations.

The Compliance Chain

How an internationally manufactured module meets Australian compliance requirements through the project pathway.

One certificate ≠ full compliance. A project must pass all 5 gates.
01

Product Evidence

BS2318 NCC certificate, WaterMark 060175, test reports (structural, thermal, fire, acoustic), and full material traceability records.

02

Project Design

Australian Design Authority signs off on structural, fire, accessibility, thermal, acoustic design and waterproofing for each specific project.

03

Local Approvals

Planning permit, building approval (DA or CDC), utility connections, environmental and transport approvals from local authorities.

04

Manufacture & Install

Factory inspection and test plans (ITPs), trained installers, crane and connection records, licensed trades, site inspection documentation.

05

Handover & Operate

Commissioning records, defect liability period, asset data (O&M manuals, as-builts), Occupation Certificate (OC), and long-term maintenance plan.

✓ ICG provides product evidence (Gate 01) · Registered engineer owns project design (Gate 02) · Licensed local subcontractor owns site delivery (Gate 04)

ICG provides end-to-end modular system supply and project coordination. Regulated building work, site installation and construction contracting are carried out by appropriately licensed builders and trades for the relevant jurisdiction. Project roles and responsibilities are confirmed in the written contract.

Building Envelope System

Each layer is thermally modelled and climate-tested for Queensland subtropical and coastal conditions.

External Cladding / Roof
Al-Mg aluminium-magnesium alloy roof or project-accepted Colorbond equivalent
Drained Cavity
PP or steel cavity battens — drainage efficiency >95% per TAUCO test data
Drainage Wallwrap
1.5mm filament drainage wrap — tested drainage and weather-resistance performance
Steel Frame
Light- or heavy-gauge steel designed to AS 1170 for wind loads, spans, and project loads
Thermal Break + Insulation
XPS strips at structural junctions + mineral wool / glass wool / PU per thermal model
Internal Lining
Plasterboard or enhanced fibre-cement board; wet areas receive full AS 3740 waterproofing system

Subtropical Passive Design

Reduce demand first, then cover it with clean energy — designed for Queensland's humid subtropical climate.

01
Orientation & Shading

Control low-angle east/west sun. Deep eaves, corridors and balconies as a shading layer.

02
Envelope Airtightness

Continuous insulation and thermal breaks. Condensation and infiltration controlled for humid conditions.

03
Natural + Mechanical Ventilation

Natural ventilation when conditions allow; efficient cooling and dehumidification during humid periods.

04
Efficient Building Services

Heat-pump hot water, variable-speed HVAC, LED lighting, room-state controls with sub-metering.

State-by-State Compliance

Compliance requirements vary by state. The following information is for reference only; confirm applicable requirements with your project team.

Energy Efficiency
NatHERS 7★ (mandatory from May 2024)
Bushfire (BAL)
BAL-12.5 minimum; BAL-29 in many zones
Cyclone Rating
C1/C2 for coastal and northern regions
Approval Pathway
Private Building Certifier (BC)
Foundation
H2 reactive soil treatment in many areas

Queensland-focused guidance is provided for general information only. Requirements and approval pathways vary by site, building class and approving authority. For projects outside Queensland, eligibility and compliance must be confirmed by appropriately qualified local professionals.

2026 Policy Highlights

Recent regulatory changes that benefit modular construction in Australia.

NSW 2026

NSW Pattern Book — Streamlined Approval

NSW's 2026 Pattern Book legislation enables qualifying modular designs to access a streamlined CDC pathway. Private building certification pathway is available, subject to applicable planning requirements.

Federal 2026

$32B Federal Housing Investment

The Australian Government's Housing Australia Future Fund explicitly identifies modular and prefabricated construction as a preferred delivery mechanism to meet the 1.2M homes target by 2029.

ABCB 2026

NCC Reducing Prefab Red Tape

The ABCB is prioritising the next NCC iteration to reduce regulatory friction for prefabricated construction — the first major national update in this area. BS2318 is already accepted as Evidence of Suitability under the current NCC 2022.
