Procurement Principles

Modular construction application is the new constcution methodolgy of choice, saving time and money while also being safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly.

The building modules can be manufactured to the client’s specific requirements in China to the exacting standards of ISO 9001 under supervision of international consultants that manage, oversee, test all fabrication, fit out and coordinate with the onsite installation detailing. 

Modules can be fabricated from high tensile, corrosion resistant coated steel and finishes materials that are compliant with International Standards. 

The walls, floors and ceilings are insulated to specified building regulations, fire standards and provide excellent acoustic and thermal performance. 

Modules are fabricated in a factory environment that improves quality control and lowers defect rates.

Sourcing Manufacturers

There are a number of modular manufacturers in China that consider themselves capable of providing the type of modules required however, there are only a limited number of suppliers capable of achieving the high qaulity project requirements in terms of quality and the numbers of modules to be manufactured is a relatively short period of time.

Transport, Shipping and Delivery

The Modules are shipped by ocean freight from China to a suitable port close to site location. The design is based upon handling for standard ISO containers, using exisitng infrastructure and lifting equipment. 

Upon arriving the modules are cleared through local customs, then unloaded where they are transferred to a secure staging at the project site until the construction team is ready to install the module. 

Installation

The modules are transported from the secure staging to an assembly location, where they are lifted onto pre-prepared structural footings and then connected to utilities and infrastructure. The exterior is finished with the architectural facade and roof and on completion. 

When completed, there is no visual difference between modular and traditional construction. 

Assembly is simple, fast, safe and built on standard foundation systems. The design allows for a rapid assembly with a simple and fail-safe locking mechanism resulting in improved safety with fewer on site components and activities in comparison with traditional construction methods.
