About Byron Prefab

Byron Prefab was founded by Julia and Mike Thomas, combining over 20 years of expertise in architecture, prefab construction, and innovative technology to deliver sustainable and exceptional projects. Julia’s German heritage inspires our commitment to precision, efficiency, and craftsmanship, aligning with her passion for introducing high-quality, sustainable homes to Australia.

We believe everyone deserves a healthy and well-crafted home. Whether you’re seeking a home built to Passive House standards or a tailored, energy-efficient solution, our approach integrates the best of German engineering with Australian design sensibilities. We collaborate with a dedicated team of consultants, German manufacturers, and local tradespeople to deliver homes that meet diverse needs and budgets.

By reshaping the role of prefabricated homes in Australia, we aim to highlight them as a superior, flexible, and sustainable construction method. Whether Passive or not, every home we build reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainable living.

Our goal is to customise spaces for meaningful experiences.
We are passionate about prefabrication and creating sustainable solutions for our planet. Our collaborative approach involves working with an interdisciplinary team.
