Question 1

What is modular construction?

Accepted Answer

An industrialised building system in which buildings are manufactured in modules in a controlled environment and assembled at their final location. The result: lead times up to 60% shorter, fixed costs and a consistent quality impossible to guarantee on a traditional site.

Question 2

How long does a modular construction project take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on floor area and finish level, but as a reference: a standard module can be installed within weeks and a complete building within a few months. Factory production overlaps with foundation work, dramatically reducing the overall schedule.

Question 3

Can a modular building be customised?

Accepted Answer

Completely. Layout, façades, joinery, services, interior finishes and equipment are all designed to each client's specification. Industrialisation standardises the process, not the design.

Question 4

What permits do I need?

Accepted Answer

The same as traditional construction when the building is permanent: a building permit and technical project. For temporary installations the process is usually faster. We advise you throughout the administrative process.

Question 5

Do you manufacture throughout Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We manufacture, deliver and install nationwide, with our logistics base in Barcelona, and we have proven experience in international projects.

Question 6

Do you work for companies and public administrations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Companies, public administrations and private clients. We have extensive experience in tenders and institutional projects: schools, healthcare centres, changing facilities and industrial buildings.

Question 7

Do you deliver turnkey projects?

Accepted Answer

It is our speciality: study, design, manufacturing, transport and installation with a single point of contact and full responsibility for the result.

Question 8

Do you build complete buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From individual modules to complete multi-storey buildings: classroom blocks, residences, offices, healthcare centres and special projects.

Question 9

What maintenance does a modular building require?

Accepted Answer

The same as any quality conventional building: periodic checks of services and envelope. Industrialised materials are highly durable and interventions are simpler and more economical.
