Modular building

What is modular home construction?

Our standalone units, or their sections, are entirely assembled in the workshop, including both interior and exterior finishes, while the large bay windows are installed onsite.

The dimensions of a unit obviously have to be taken into account, as it must be transportable by truck to the building site.

Our units can be interconnected or stacked, providing the possibility of creating dwellings of all sizes, whether it be a complete structure or a standalone module.

We at my phi unit focus primarily on individual units or a combination of adjacent units. However, we are also happy to consider projects involving ‘stackable’ units.

Comparison of prefabricated and traditional modular house construction methods

Prefabrication typically involves assembling factory-made components, like walls and stairs, floor sections,… directly on the building site, while modular house building is a question of assembling the entire structure in a workshop before transporting it as a complete unit to the final destination. Essentially, a modular unit can be thought of as a small prefabricated house.

Advantages of modular building

The advantage of modular building is that construction can continue uninterrupted, regardless of weather conditions. Once planning permission is granted, production begins immediately in the workshop.

You’re always welcome to visit our facility and see the progress firsthand. Furthermore, modular units are highly portable, allowing you to essentially move your home to a new location.

Do you need planning permission to build a modular building?

For an entire dwelling and an extension: yes

Check with the local urban planning regulations or your municipality to find out what is allowed for an outbuilding, pool house, pavilion,…

How much does it cost to build a modular home?

The price varies based on the selected finishing materials, the level of complexity,…

Please feel free to contact us for further details.

Can it be used as a main place of residence?

If the building has been declared as such to the urban planning department and planning permission has been granted, it may be used as a primary residence.

What if I have bigger ideas?

Should you desire exceptionally large structures, we can customise the assembly process onsite.

Enjoy the luxury of a modular building without the stress of decision-making.
