Parkhome Modular Units

What Parkhome Modular Units does

Parkhome Modular Units is a South African division of Southey Holdings (Pty) Ltd that manufactures, sells, and rents prefabricated modular buildings under the Parkhome brand. The product line is built around mobile insulated structures erected on chassis designs — a format that originated in the caravan industry and was evolved into the current Parkhome specification. Units range from compact 3m x 3m configurations (ablutions, offices) through standard 6m x 3m and 9m x 3m office units, to larger 7m x 7m meeting rooms, 8m x 7m classrooms, and 12m x 3m open-plan spaces, with customization within standard specifications. Average production lead time is 3-4 weeks and units can exceed a 20-year useful life with proper maintenance.\n\nThe company serves six primary verticals: Mining & Construction, Healthcare & Hospitality, Education, Sanitation & Ablutions, Accommodation, and Food & Kitchen. Notable engagements include the delivery and installation of 39 ART health clinics in Zambia for the United Nations Development Program. Operations are anchored by a manufacturing facility and sales office in Benoni (Gauteng/Johannesburg) and a sales office and yard in Durban (KwaZulu-Natal), with rental units available throughout Southern Africa.\n\nRevenue is generated through three streams: recurring modular unit rentals, one-time sale of modular units, and professional onsite installation and project services delivered through a related Parkhome Projects division. Pricing is entirely quote-based, varying by unit type, size, customization, and rental duration. The go-to-market is sales-led — direct field sales from the two regional offices, supported by a website quote request system, regional sales email addresses, Facebook and Instagram pages, and direct phone contact. The business benefits from being a division of Southey Holdings, described as one of Africa's largest privately owned entities with a footprint spanning Southern Africa.
