why we’re unique
• UMBS is extremely flexible with regard to design and architectural flair. • Builds extremely fast. • Uses less labour and substitutes skilled labour with unskilled and semi-skilled labour. • Is cost competitive. • Produces precise constructions. • Produces almost no on-site waste. • Is stronger. • Construction noise is at an absolute minimum compared with conventional building sites. • Allows a large choice of material usage. • Produces fire safe structures. • Contributes to a very safe work environment. • Has a high recyclable content and relatively low embodied energy. • Negates the need for excessive site- and retentive works, protects and maintains the natural environment. • Proven engineering solutions • On-site supervision, co-ordination and project management; • Single point of contact for streamlined communication; • Savings to the client in time, labour and money.
By developing a comprehensive system package Go-Evolve has managed to substantially reduce the construction time to lock-up stage, and to eliminate the slow and costly “intensive trades requirement” for “earth-works + brick on slab residential developments”, and provide buildings that are vastly superior with regard to energy rating, fire rating and sound proofing to

All UMBS houses are further designed for controlled ventilation and for maximal outdoor/ indoor living; radiation is therefore the primary target for regulating body temperature. Since the floors and walls retain close to ideal inside temperature the need for heating and cooling is obviously minimized. This will save enormously on the heating and cooling load as explained above. The combination of a steel frame and Hebel floors and walls is lightweight and a completely dry construction method. It is both a speedy and at the same time a very economical way of building “masonry housing” today.

The Universal Modular Building System* (UMBS) is a system which has evolved from the underlying attitude and vast experience of Magnus G. Bjornsson – the designer and creator of this environmentally responsible building system. The UMBS is a unique system which offers design flexibility in conjunction with environmentally considerate construction methods and materials. It has eco wise energy ratings, exceptional architectural appeal throughout, with a built in value-for-money philosophy even in challenging site situations.
Site Go-Evolve has created a single point of contact for, and delivery of a flat packed steel frame and cladding components, tailored to customer’s needs.
Assemble The module-components are pre-fabricated steel components that slot and bolt together on site. Each main frame is 13 m2 in area. *(UMBS)
Transport Go-Evolve recognised the achievable environmental and economical benefits in taking charge of the development process via a “design and construct” approach in close collaboration with the developers, builders, engineers, and town planners, rather than simply to provide materials on request at tender stage, based on designs that do not necessarily take into account either material-economy or the environmental realities of the site.
modular system
final product:
1: All UMBS houses are further designed for controlled ventilation and for maximal outdoor/ indoor living; 2: Floors are tiled straight on top of the Hebel in order to benefit from the unique heat sinking qualities of aerated concrete 3: Modules can be arranged or stacked in any combination, thus providing great flexibility in design. 4: Choice of materials for floors, walls, roofs and fitting is virtually unlimited and depends entirely on what is specified by the customer. 5: Space efficient planning 6: It is a modular building system, equally suited to the construction of upper market architecturally styled homes particularly on difficult and wooded terrain, multi storey flats in urban areas, or for remote area mass construction. 7: Go-Evolve takes pride in its choice of materials, for not only the repetitious construction process but for climate modifying purposes as well including attention to building orientation. It is a modular building system, equally suited to the construction of upper market architecturally styled homes particularly on difficult and wooded terrain or for remote area mass construction. When completed, a UMBS building is superior in quality to a same style conventional construction built in-situ by experienced tradesmen. The UMBS construction system is capable of accommodating an infinite variety of floor plans using only one main frame, and any or all of three auxiliary add-on frames (outriggers).
The system lends itself to future extensions with ease. A variety of roofs forms can be achieved. An especially attractive use of this system is in combination with CSR-HEBEL (Aerated Concrete) Powerfloor Panel and Powerpanel wall system and an external skinwall-panel of composite FC-PU (=polyurethane) - FC, weighing 40kg/panel (3300x900x75). The external face is coated with the Dulux-Hebel Coating System (or equivalent product).

The UMB-System through Simplicity, Flexibility and Environmental Attributes provides cost-effective building by way of:
• The UMB-System is very environmentally friendly, with relatively low embodied energy, a large recyclable content, and high energy efficiency (reaching a 7 to 10 star rating in Queensland). The sloping roofs are pitched up to 26.6° which is ideal for maximising solar effect for PV panels.
Rain Water Tank
Solar Panels
• Expedient design, • Almost immediate, accurate costing and budgeting
Outdoor Taps
Pump
• Speedy government approval processes • An easy formation and consequent management of the critical construction path. • Economical delivery is by way of flat- packed components allowing greater volumes per transport vehicle.
Lighting
• Predictability due to there being only approx 60 easily manufactured and stock-able components in the framing system.
Hot Water
• Low Maintenance and Durability • 7 to 10 Star Rating + Solar panel- electricity production on the roofs (conventional donga units are supplied with reverse cycle air-conditioning to every room, requiring truckloads of diesel fuel to keep the generators going. It has further been reported by management of existing mining camps that on the average electricians have to be flown out frequently to repair generators that have shorted due to overload when
Air-Conditioning
workmen on completion of their shift simultaneously switch on the air-conditioning). • Speedy on-site construction via low- cost and readily available apprenticeship labour – politically favoured. • The Apprenticeship Board has formulated a course based on the assembly of the UMB-System which leads to Certificate II in Metal Engineering.
• For those occupiers who want air-conditioning, a hybrid 50% solar 50% grid electrical air-conditioning system can be provided, however we draw attention to the reality that air-conditioning is not needed due to the way that the construction provides both an excellent external wall insulation coupled with a very efficient heat-sink in both floors and walls.
