Who they are
A Brisbane family builder. Their about page says Hoek Homes started in 1967, built 50 houses in Mt Isa in the late 1960s and worked to Department of Housing standards through the 1970s to 1990s. Dean Hoek became a master builder and partner in the 1980s and set up Hoek Modular Homes in 2000. He's the CEO.
The company is Hoek Modular Homes Pty Ltd (ABN 84 128 296 480), active since November 2007, with its office and yard at 6 Leanne Crescent, Lawnton, north of Brisbane. Their home page says 1,600+ homes built in Queensland, 60+ staff and 50+ years in the trade. Clients shown include the Queensland Government, City of Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast Council and Australia Zoo.
They list two 2025 awards: HIA Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay (Specialised Housing) and Master Builders Queensland (Housing and Construction).
Seeing one: their FAQ says no display is open right now because a new one is being built, but you can tour homes under construction in the Lawnton yard. There's also a virtual tour on their site.

Price
They price on request. Their FAQ says a price list including transport to your area is provided once your site location is known, and their process starts with a concept plan and budget estimate, then a preliminary tender, then a final tender after building and plumbing approvals. Payment stages and deposit aren't published; ask for them in writing. Call (07) 3889 7385 or email sales@hoekmodularhomes.com.

Where they deliver
Queensland. Base pricing covers sites within 50 km of the Lawnton office, with out-of-area charges beyond that. Their site doesn't draw a boundary, but the projects and clients shown run from Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast out to Bulloo Shire and Quilpie in the south-west. They list a Brisbane and Moreton Bay focus.
Their FAQ says most projects take about 12 to 18 weeks, depending on access, slope and size, with a firm timeline after the site assessment.
Warranty and licence
Their inclusions page lists the government-backed 6-year and 6-month structural warranty (the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme) and a 6 to 12 month maintenance period, subject to conditions. Bathrooms carry a waterproof membrane with a wet seal guarantee.
Hoek Modular Homes Pty Ltd holds QBCC licence 1169135, active: Builder Low Rise plus carpentry, drainage and joinery (register checked 13 October 2026). The licence number isn't shown on their site.
Getting one into the ground in Queensland
Hoek is local and handles most of this itself, from site inspection and approvals to footings and delivery. The steps after you sign are the same for any modular home here:
- Block check. Zoning, lot size, flood, bushfire and character overlays, easements, where the sewer and stormwater run, and the slope. This decides what you can put on the block before you spend on a home.
- Approval. Building approval from a private certifier, plus council planning approval if an overlay or the planning scheme calls for it. Plumbing and drainage work needs its own council approval.
- Footings. A soil test and an engineer's footing design, then piers, posts or screw piles set out to the home's support points before it arrives.
- Transport and crane access. A route check, oversize permits and pilot vehicles for wide loads, clearance from power lines and trees, and a firm, level spot for the crane close enough to reach the footings.
- Connections. A licensed plumber for water, sewer and stormwater, and a licensed electrician for the supply and the connection to the network.
- Final inspection and home warranty. The certifier's final inspection, the plumbing sign-off, and QBCC home warranty insurance, which covers most residential building work over $3,300 done by a licensed contractor.

Who they suit
