AluHouse Signs Strategic MoUs with Three Australian Partners to Address Housing Shortage with MiC Technology

HONG KONG, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Belt and Road Summit 2026 in Hong Kong, AluHouse Group, a global leader in Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), signed three Memorandums of Understanding

(MoUs) with Australian partners Northland Group Pty Ltd, DCF Property Group, and Up Modular Pty Ltd. This marks a major milestone in AluHouse's strategy to introduce its proven modular technology to the Australian market.

"This partnership is an important milestone in AluHouse's globalisation journey," said Eric Kwong, Founder and Chairman of AluHouse Group. "Australia's housing shortage demands innovative, scalable solutions. We will leverage our Hong Kong-proven MiC technology and project experience to deepen local collaboration and help ease Australia's housing challenge."

Responding to Australia's Housing Challenge

Australia faces a severe housing shortage, with a projected shortfall of 380,000 homes by 2030 according to the Urban Development Institute of Australia. In response, the Australian government has committed over AUD 174 million to promote Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). While MMC can cut construction times by 20–50% and costs by 20%, market penetration remains below 5%.

"Australian developers see the efficiency gains of MMC but often lack the expertise in modular design, compliance, supply chain developments, logistics, and on-site installation," said Johnny Nassif, Director of Northland Group. "We look forward to leveraging AluHouse's mature modular systems to deliver high-quality housing efficiently."

Global Modular Expertise, Local Commitment

The three partnerships bring together complementary capabilities required for successful large-scale Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) adoption in Australia, covering modular residential and mixed-use development, prefabricated building R&D, and strategic collaboration across Australia's rapidly growing construction sector. AluHouse will provide a full-chain, one-stop solution covering all stages from project development and design to manufacturing and installation.

"Hong Kong, as a 'super-connector' and 'value-adder', continues to bridge Hong Kong and international markets," Eric Kwong added. "The Belt and Road Summit provided an ideal platform for connecting with Australian partners, with important support from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKDTC)." Eric Kwong, emphasized that the company seeks deep local integration rather than just viewing Australia as an overseas market. "Our vision is to integrate globally proven MiC technology and Hong Kong MiC expertise with Australia's building regulations, local market needs, and supply chain ecosystem."
