The modular building was created due to the company’s unique investment in product development. The new technology can be described as energy efficient, quick manufacturing, high-quality technical content and precision.
Innovative building system
Modular construction technology is a fast–growing innovative segment. The new technologies used in modular architecture provide new opportunities for the construction industry. Modular architecture can gain competitive advantages over traditional construction methods. The contemporary and dynamic trends of modular architecture are prompting broader applications of its solutions across Western and Northern Europe. In many countries, the application of modular technology has decades of tradition. With our company’s participation, Hungary and Central Europe can catch up in this segment.
Precise, software-based planning and high manufacturing quality
The building’s element design is performed by using the latest industrial software. The software-based design process operating with a versatile approach brings new opportunities in regard to the combination of elements; therefore, the integrity and combination of units and the nodal connection establishment are the results of a conscious design process. Due to the precision and technical thoroughness of the whole designing-manufacturing process, it seems closer to the car industry than construction. Strict quality control, reliable quality, and a high degree of precision can be achieved during operational production. Work processes are segmented, comprising automated-mechanised phases, and simplified work phases that unskilled workers can perform.
Self-supporting, 3D steel frame system
Masterplast’s Modulhouse system is used to manufacture building modules of such exceptionally firm and rigid 3D steel frame systems that are suitable for constructing 4-storey buildings on their own. If these systems are equipped with additional reinforcement, even 12-storey medium-high buildings can be constructed.
Low living labour presence on site
It is possible to prefabricate large quantities of building modules under operational production, which enables rapid construction with low living labour presence on site. Customers can receive a building that can be constructed within a few weeks with high-quality technical content and precision.
All-season manufacturing
The production is independent of the seasons, time of day or weather conditions, ongoing 365 days of the year.
Compact building modules and road transportation
Selection and implementation of materials are also standardised; therefore, finding parallels and right angles does not depend on the steadiness of the builder’s hands.
Energy efficiency and self-sustainability?
With Masterplast’s modular building system, the building modules will fall under the highly favourable energy category AA at least. Furthermore, we plan to develop a building module that may make a building complex an island-like self-sustaining building, thanks to energy production and storage. This module might be complementary to the previously built building modules as well.
Quality outcome, new industrial opportunities
Masterplast is the first prominent Central European manufacturer to identify the market opportunities of modular architecture. It is the first Hungarian construction manufacturer to launch its production development investment and manufacturing related to modular construction.
The future
Similarly to the Western European processes, the market of modular building systems can expand rapidly in the Central European region since, besides smaller manufacturers, Masterplast will step up as the first significant market player providing greater production capacity and professional solutions. Our participation in this segment could have a positive effect on this field.
