Modular precast housing.


It is a single floor housing contruction system, 100% precasted and terminated before place.

Each module have a 30 m2 living surface, and is made of two elements, each comprising a base concrete slab and GFRC for the cladding and roof.

A whole element, even including a kitchen and bathroom is about 8 tones weight, that is possible due to the lattice of the base slab, and GFRC to be a foam cored sandwich.
GFRC sandwich makes also a great thermal and acoustic insulation.

This image shows the handling of a whole element, through four fixings in the base slab.

Elements where sized to fit regular truck platforms, so a single trip may carry two elements in most cases.

Being GFRC an easily mouldable material, façades and roof may be shaped as will, with innings and extrusions,if proper moulds.

As an example of that, the façade protruding seen in the images is an embeded cabinet.
Module roofing drains through a tube inside the GFRC cladding.

All of the modules GFRC can be painted with silicates, at factory, before delivery. Thus extending even more long-term durability.

The element inside shown in the image contains door and windows allready.


This constructive industrialized system gives room to plenty of architects creativity, since it allows infinite combinations of volumes, shapes and modularity, while to urbanize large compounds too.

Our engineering assist precasters, constructors, promoters, but specially architects, to obtain the highest quality at the lowest cost for these kind of industriallized sollutions, anywhere.
