    building resized

    Speedpanel® is pleased to announce that a partnership with the University of Melbourne has been awarded a CRC-P grant of up to $3 million over the next 3 years in the Advanced Manufacturing category to research and develop innovative pre-fabricated building systems.

    The CRC-P project aims to develop a new generation of pre-fabricated panel systems for multiple applications such as facades, floor panels and roof panels.  The panels will be easily customised and their multi-functionality will widen their application to the building industry.  Automated production, modelling and easy on-site installation will ensure reduced building costs and shorter completion times.

    Speedpanel® look forward to working with the University of Melbourne and to use the research grant to make a solid contribution to advanced manufacturing of construction products in Australia and overseas.FactoryPano1 610px

    SPEEDPANEL has a new home…..

    As the benefits of Speedpanel have continued to be realized by builders and contractors Australia wide, we have been busy on ensuring that we can continue to manufacture larger volumes of our products faster and greener than ever before!

    To do this we are proud to announce that we have begun moving into our new facility at 421 Dorset Rd, Bayswater, Victoria. Whilst this is currently our head office and dispatch warehouse, we will be moving manufacturing here in the coming months. Our new state of the art facility is currently being fitted out with a batching plant that will allow complete control over our aerated inner core and be able to recycle all mixture waste products. We will be pumping energy back into the grid via our new solar panels that cover our extensive roof area. Not only that, Speedpanel will be saving water by ensuring that our large roof area will be recycling all rain catchments for our inner core!

    Speedpanel is dedicated to the importance of manufacturing in Australia, and providing jobs to local communities. Stay tuned as we duplicate these facilities in other capital cities around Australia!

    General Notification

    Speedpanel, in its continuing drive to improve its panel wall system has recently developed, a 51mm and 64mm panel.

    While not fully released, we are experiencing demand for these products in the areas that have already been certified for use. Some of the 51mm and 64mm panel wall systems that have been certified for use have head track detail requirements that are greater than that needed for some applications for our 78mm panel.
