Module setup

All modules are prefabricated and completed in factory inc finishes and fit out. Customers have ultimate control over configurations and any module can have any of the pre-fabricated wall options to build their ideal setup.

Up to 2 modules can be fully connected in the factory (for example and bedroom and ensuite or kitchen and living) reducing time taken to setup on site as well as being perfect for small Granny flats and home office additions.

Once complete, modules are transported to site ready to be craned into place. We can fix modules onsite using either a concrete free footing system or minimal concrete pad footings, Reducing the need for extensive and costly siteworks and a traditional concrete pad.

With the footings in place each module can be craned into position, fixed to footings and have the accompanying roof cap fixed in place. Each module can then be fixed to one another in turn. The cube design allows for maximum configuration to suit each specific site from small, tight, inner city blocks to large rural sites.

The only onsite works required are the hookup to services (Electrical, Water, Gas, Sewer) and completing the connections between modules and roof caps.
