Our Story

Incorporated in 2013, Modbox became an established name across Central Otago and Queenstown, delivering more than 50 completed builds by the end of 2020.

In 2021, Modbox came under new management and took on its current name, Modbox Queenstown Limited. Joe Daly, who joined the business in 2015 as 2IC, stepped up as owner - bringing systems, processes, and forward-thinking at the centre of how we deliver every build.

Our mission is simple: adaptable, sustainable, smart building that evolves with the needs of Queenstown clients. We have solutions for everyone, from first-home builders through to high-end residential projects, and especially those building for home-and-income.

With a strong focus on greener, more sustainable, and passive building methods, we design homes that are strong, durable, energy-efficient, and cleverly space-saving. We take real pride in workmanship, competitive fees, and delivering outstanding results - and since day one, we've worked hard to build a reputation as a leading Queenstown contractor.

Our standard Modbox designs are built to take the guesswork out of the process - tried, tested, and proven to work for the local market and conditions. If a standard design isn't quite right for your vision, you'll still benefit from the same standardised systems and processes, even on a traditional or hybrid build.

Our panel system has huge benefits, but it isn't the right fit for every section or every client - and that's okay. Whether it's traditional, panel, or hybrid, the key is that Modbox approaches every build with the same methodical, considered process. We know Queenstown, the contractors, the conditions, the pitfalls - so with Modbox, you don't just get a builder; you get a complete building process.

Our online management system lets us work seamlessly with clients locally and abroad, with real-time updates on schedules, payments, documentation, and selections.

More affordable. More efficient. More innovative.

We love working with people who believe there's always a better way to do things - and we go to great lengths to build homes our clients can be genuinely proud of.
