Modular architecture: a finished house on your plot in a few days

Imagine buying a plot, preparing the foundations, landscaping and fencing and, a few days later, receiving your house, shop or office practically finished, installed on the foundations in 2 or 3 days and ready to use. This is neither utopia nor science fiction: it is real, and within everyone's reach.

How does it work?

  1. The building is designed by the architect, like any other project, meeting the client's functional and aesthetic requirements.
  2. The design is sent to a building or house manufacturer, which can use many construction systems: wood, steel, concrete… The manufacturer quotes the construction and installation.
  3. The client commissions the industrialised construction of the building, which usually takes 60 to 90 days on average.
  4. While the building is being made, the client prepares the site: foundations, walls (if any), garden and paths.
  5. Once the building is completely finished, with finishes, light fittings and even furniture, it is transported in modules, by truck, to the site where it will be installed.
  6. In a very short time the modules are put back together like Lego on the foundations, and the house is ready to use!
