Design Flexibility : Variability & Scalability
In comparison with other prefab modular housing on the market, this system is designed in a way that the end-builder can choose what level of modularity he wants the house to be delivered in.
Additionally, the site conditions for construction will dictate what is, and what is not easy to build.
- Prefabricated Modules can be delivered in the same format of shipping containers and linked together on site.
- Prefabricated Elements can be delivered as a set of parts to be assembled on site to build up the home
- Pre-made Parts can be delivered in kits to build up Elements to be assembled on site.
Design Principles
Develop lightweight elements that can be handled by a few people, instead the need for heavy equipment..
Use simple manufacturing techniques so specialized equipment that depends on sophisticated infrastructure is not needed...
Keep assembly simple so locals may have the chance to be employed...
