The FlexHouse building system is a modern fabric-clad warehouse solution that combines a light-weight structural steel frame with a tensile membrane skin, capable of creating large-volume covered spaces that can be delivered faster and more economically than traditional steel portal frame buildings.

Designed for industrial, mining, logistics, commercial and agricultural applications, FlexHouse provides a durable and practical solution for organisations seeking reliable weather protection, rapid project delivery, and clear-span internal space.

Backed by the global expertise of the Taiyo Kogyo / MakMax group, FlexHouse combines proven structural engineering, premium materials and efficient construction methods to deliver safe, durable and cost-effective industrial facilities.

Every business has different operational requirements, but the objectives are often the same: maximise efficiency, create a better working environment and invest in infrastructure that delivers long-term value. From rapid project delivery through to day-to-day performance, a FlexHouse building solution offers practical advantages that extend well beyond simply providing covered space.

• Clear-Span Internal Space – The FlexHouse truss-frame system is able to span large distances, offering the ability to create large unobstructed internal spaces to maximise storage capacity, vehicle movements and operational flexibility.
• Cooler Working Environment – The high-performance membrane exterior reflects solar heat, offering greater reductions in heat build-up compared to conventional metal roofing.
• Naturally Brighter Interiors –  The translucent membrane FlexHouse shell fills the building with soft, diffused natural daylight, reducing glare and reliance on artificial lighting.
• Minimal Maintenance – Premium materials and proven construction methods are designed for long-term industrial use with minimal maintenance.
• Flexible Design – A range of standard FlexHouse sizes have been pre-engineered for rapid development and delivery. Available in a range of widths, lengths and heights, all design elements can be adjusted to suit your intended application. Further customisations are possible through access and ventilation options to suit your operation. Custom steel finishes are also available to match project specifications.
• Faster & Cost-Effective Construction – Standardised design elements, modular components and prefabricated sections help to reduce design, manufacturing and installation time, providing a fast and cost-effective alternative to conventional building methods.
• Premium Membrane Options – FlexHouse can be specified with membrane options to match your project’s application, environment and finish requirements. We offer membranes from globally recognised manufacturers, including Novashield® Elite woven HDPE membrane and Serge Ferrari Flexlight 702 PVC membrane. These advanced fabrics provide durability, UV resistance and long-term performance.
• Sustainable Construction – A lightweight FlexHouse building uses less structural steel than conventional warehouse buildings, which helps to reduce the overall embodied carbon over the building’s lifecycle.
• Turnkey Project Delivery – From concept and approvals through to installation, MakMax Australia can manage the complete project.
• Relocatable Solution – The FlexHouse building system can be dismantled, relocated and reconfigured as operational requirements change.
• Global Innovation, Australian Expertise – FlexHouse combines the world-leading membrane technology and international manufacturing capability of the Taiyo Kogyo group, with MakMax Australia’s experienced local engineering, project management and installation teams, providing a seamless solution from design through to completion.
