Four levels of playground customisation

Every project needs a different level of input. These four options show what can change, how much design work is involved and where each approach fits.

Every playspace has its own character, challenges and goals. Some projects need a straightforward catalogue selection. Others need more flexibility or a one-off result. Moduplay offers four pathways from catalogue products to bespoke builds. Our Australian design and engineering teams help you review the brief, site constraints and required approvals at each stage.

Start with a catalogue product that suits your site and play priorities. Choose the colour scheme and playground surfacing, then confirm the product, site requirements and delivery programme with our team.

Time: Uses the standard product and production process. Confirm the current lead time for your project.
Cost: Uses standard product pricing. Confirm current pricing and project costs with our team.
Design: Choose from the current Moduplay catalogue. The product’s standard structure remains unchanged.

Start with a catalogue product, then discuss changes to the layout, theme, panels or activities. Our design and engineering teams review the configuration against the project requirements and applicable standards before manufacture.

Time: Allows for design and engineering review before production. Confirm timing for your project.
Cost: Pricing depends on the selected changes and project scope.
Design: Uses an existing design as the base, with approved changes to layout and features.

When a brief calls for different heights, footprints, access or new components, we move into a project-specific design phase. The team can use an established system such as Connect as the base, then develop and review the required components for the site.

Time: Includes project-specific design and engineering before manufacturing. Confirm the programme for your project.
Cost: Pricing reflects the approved design and engineering scope.
Design: Uses an established system with project-specific features and finishes.

For a one-off playground, Bespoke starts from a project-specific brief rather than a standard product or system. The design and engineering process develops the structure, play elements and details for the site, subject to review and approval.

Time: Depends on the brief, approvals and engineering complexity. A project programme is confirmed during design.
Cost: Pricing reflects the approved design, engineering and manufacturing scope.
Design: A project-specific design developed with the client and project team.

The four pathways help you choose a level of design input that suits your site, brief, budget and programme. Start with a catalogue product, adapt an existing design, develop a custom configuration or discuss a bespoke brief.


Every project is reviewed against the requirements that apply to its equipment, site and playground surfacing. Tell us about your site, programme and budget, and we will help you choose a starting point. Speak to our team or explore the product range.
