What's MOdular Concept

The firm MOAD architecture and design accumulate seven years’ experience in the research and development of alternative building systems to traditional construction, making proposals in line with the current economic situation to ensure the quality parameters required by the CTE (Technical Building Code), which, in many cases, are difficult to assume with traditional construction.

The result of this effort is the development of several constructive proposals tested and guaranteed as:

• Steel-frame System: Based on the construction of a light structural framework formed with light conformed sections of galvanized steel for dry mounting.

• Lightweight Structural Panel Systems with integrated insulation (SIP & CSIP): Based on the configuration of a structural enclosure using multilayer concrete reinforced panels with integrated insulation for dry mounting.

• Structural Enclosure Systems with Concrete: Based on the construction of walls and concrete floor slabs using formwork panels and blocks of expanded polystyrene (EPS) for installation on site.

• Maritime Container Recycling Systems: Based on reusing shipping containers for structural and spatial configuration of any type of building.

All materials used in the construction of these systems are highly recyclable with a minimum energy consumption in the manufacturing process; Their arrangement in accordance with the needs work weather and use, together with a design process which ensures 100% utilization of natural resources (orientation, sunlight, ventilation, etc..) allow achieving secure with bioclimatic projects added managing to reach the highest energy ratings.

Likewise, these constructive solutions allow a lowering of the construction cost close to 30%, and reduce the execution time of 40%.
