4 Levels of Playground Customisation

Share post
At Moduplay, every playspace has its own character, challenges, and goals. Some projects need speed and certainty. Others need flexibility, or a one-off outcome that has never been built before. That is why we offer four clear pathways to a finished playground, from ready-made designs off the shelf to fully bespoke builds. Whichever path you take, our Australian-based design and engineering teams work alongside you to make sure your vision is achievable, compliant, and built to last. Here is how the four levels of customisation work.
1. Catalogue: The Fastest Path to Play
Sometimes the best solution is the one that has already been designed, tested, and proven. Our catalogue range is decades of experience refined into products that work straight off the shelf. You choose a unit from one of Moduplay’s Product Ranges, pick your colour scheme and softfall surfacing, and we get to work. No extended design phase. No surprises. Just a well-made playground delivered on time.
Time: Fastest lead time. No extra design or engineering time beyond standard production scheduling.
Cost: The most budget-friendly option. Standard product pricing applies
Design: Choose from our full catalogue range of 500+ Australian-made products. No structural modifications.

2. Configured: Proven Designs, Refined For Your Site
Start with a proven catalogue unit, then adjust the layout to suit your space. Bring in personality through theming, play panels, and small changes to the activities, while keeping the reliability of a design that already works. We confirm every safety clearance and compliance point against the Australian Standards before anything is manufactured.
Time: Typically adds 3 to 4 weeks to the standard production timeline.
Cost: The most budget-friendly personalised option.
Design: Built from a proven design, with flexibility to adjust layout and features using existing elements.

3. Custom: Go Beyond Catalogue, Stay Within The System
When a brief pushes height, footprint, or access, or calls for new components, we move into a collaborative design phase. We engineer project-specific parts on our proven systems, using the Connect system as the anchor, so the result stays buildable and compliant while still feeling unique to your site. Think custom signage, richer theming, and project-specific details that make the space your own.
Time: Allow 6 to 8 weeks for design, plus 4 to 6 weeks for manufacturing.
Cost: Priced according to the scope of customisation. Smaller personalisations sit closer to Configurable pricing. Larger outcomes reflect the extra design and engineering time
Design: System-based design combined with custom features and finishes, for projects that need a distinct identity.

4. Bespoke: Play Without Limits
For a true one-of-a-kind playground, Bespoke starts from a blank page. These are ground-up engineering projects, not based on a standard system, built to a specific architectural or thematic brief. From custom-engineered towers to sculptural climbing elements, every detail is considered, engineered, and brought to life with purpose. The result is a landmark that sets your destination apart and serves the community for generations.
Time: 12 to 16 weeks or more depending on complexity. A detailed timeline is provided at design confirmation.
Cost: The highest investment, reflecting the intensive design and engineering involved.
Design: Complete creative freedom, with a fully collaborative design and prototyping process.

Which Pathway Is Right For Your Project?
The four levels exist so you are never forced to choose between speed, budget, and a design that fits your site. Whether you need a proven design off the shelf, the flexibility of a configurable system, the freedom of a customisable build, or a fully bespoke outcome, there is a clear path to get there.
