MODULAR BUILDINGS
MODULAR BUILDINGS Modular building provide the fastest space construction solutions for temporary and permanent need. Modular houses are manufactured at a very high level of completion. As a rule, they are finished up to 90% from inside and outside. The factory is able to install facade covers and openings, carry out electrical, water supply and drain connections. Heating and ventilation works. Interior walls can be finished according to customer’s wishes. It is possible to install floor heating systems and cover carpet, ceramic tile, parquet, laminate or PVC coating. In humid areas, it is possible to perform all moisture barriers, install ceramic tiles, sanitary ware and luminaries. If necessary, kitchen furniture can also be fitted with appropriate equipment.
WE PRODUCE THE FOLLOWING BUILDINGS It is economically most reasonable and efficient to design buildings where it is possible to use similar modules. KINDERGARTENS OR SCHOOLS Modular kindergartens and schools help solve the lack of space and are also suitable for stationary buildings. Possibility to build multi-storey solutions and add additional modules over time.
OFFICES Temporary buildings erected in modular buildings will help to cope with the increased demand for space. Modular solutions are well suited for erecting office buildings or temporary living spaces.
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND HOTELS The construction of modular apartment buildings is an increasing trend in the Nordic countries. We build modular apartment buildings up to 4 storeys high.
SINGLE MODULES It is a good idea to build gas station service stations and small shops as a module. If necessary, modular buildings can be transported to another location and the value of the building does not decrease.
BENEFITS
More controlled conditions for weather, quality control, improved supervision of labor, easier access to tools, and fewer material deliveries. Modules are installed by experienced builders, and therefore the risks associated with subcontractors are reduced. Increased workers safety.
Construction time of the building is significantly shortened More controlled conditions for fewer conflicts in work crew scheduling and better sequencing of crafts persons. Reduced requirements for on-site materials storage, and fewer losses of materials.
MINIMIZING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ACTIVITY ON-SITE Removing approximately 80% of the building construction activity from the site location significantly reduces site disruption, noise pollution, air pollution, is a tremendous advantage.
WASTE Building in a controlled environment reduces waste. Waste is eliminated by recycling materials, controlling inventory and protecting building materials. This, along with improved quality management throughout the construction process and significantly less on-site activity and disturbance, promotes sustainability. Based on this, the contribution of the modular prefabricated construction system to achieve “Green Building�.
TIME AND COST SAVING The use of prefabrication construction methodology allows cost savings at every phase of the production process due to mass production. MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

ARCHITECTURE Modular buildings today have several different benefits. It is time-effective and also an economical alternative when building a house. Today we complete modules in the factory. Transport the modules to the right destination and assemble them on -site. Nowadays the prefab modules have several applications, thanks to functional rooms and smart design. For the creative, the possibilities are almost endless with this alternative.
If we were to describe a prefab building module, it can be compared to a type of cube. This consists of a roof, walls, and floors which in turn are equipped with windows and doors. The prefab modules are produced such that it is possible to combine them into a so-called multi-module building. Of modules it is possible to construct buildings for any purposes. The benefits are, of course, the lower price and the shortened construction time.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A MODULAR BUILDING •
Size and shape of the modules
•
Layout of wet and technical rooms
•
The need and location for shafts
•
Fire safety with massive wood and fire protective surface layers
•
Layout of the premises with minimal finishing and utility system connections on the site
•
Architects must consider the constraints and plan the building as modules.
•
Acoustic performance

DESIGN
3D MODELS Own in-house design department, 3D model and BIM, statics, special component projects. Modular buildings are designed with immediate consideration of transport dimensions and lifting. We recommend our standard solutions and assemblies when designing modular buildings, but we can provide all kinds of special solutions.
HEATING, PLUMBING AND WATER PLANNING All communications are already installed in prefab elements’ phase and finalized in modular department.
FOUNDATION LOAD PLANS We coordinate consistently with the client and external designers (eg concrete foundation).
SPECIFICATIONS
Material specifications and quantities are provided for each material used on the project.
BUILDING MANUAL AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The project documentation includes step-by-step installation manual for each building, which means the construction works can be done either by Timbeco’s installation team or client’s carpenters.
MAINTENANCE MANUALS Part of the delivery is always the maintenance manual for all delivered materials and safety instructions.
When designing modular buildings, we strive to find the best solutions for design
PRODUCTION OF MODULES
Room module (
70-90% completed off-site in a factory-controlled environment
CERTIFICATES In the production of modules, certificates and licenses / licenses for specific work (electrical and plumbing works, waterproofing and tiling works, etc.) are important for the respective country of destination. We use products and systems that meet the requirements of the target market. Special parts are installed by certified workers / subcontractors.
PRODUCTION The production of modules starts from the CNC center, where all the wood materials used in the manufacture of room elements are cut exactly in size and the required pins / joints are milled. The finished material is made up of wall, ceiling and floor frame elements. The elements are interconnected into a module, after which it is possible to start
install communications (electricity, water, sewage, etc.). In the next step, insulating layers, vapour and wind barriers, and openings are added. Apart from the installation of windows and doors, the addition of internal and external finishing coatings and the waterproofing and tiling of “wet� rooms can be started.
PRODUCTION OF MODULES
FINISHING WORK We carry out all necessary interior finishing work in cooperation with specialized companies. Interior finishing includes all interior work, from the finishing of walls to the installation of moldings.
DRY ROOMS MDF ceiling and wall panels, acoustic panels, painting, wallpapering, structure painting etc. Installation of parquet, PVC flooring and ceramic tiles WET ROOMS PVC floor and wall coverings, ceramic tiles
SPECIAL INSTALLATION WORKS FOR SEWERAGE AND WATER SYSTEMS
The most dangerous enemy of any building is moisture. The damage caused by moisture is one of the most widespread types of damage in buildings. Therefore, the structures must be protected from moisture with extreme care. In optimal layouts, technical installation shafts are located around the vertical core for easy maintenance and management. Wet zones and technical modules should also be situated next to installation shafts. Prefabricated sanitary or technical units inside modules are all possible. Specific locations for baths, toilets and kitchens may vary inside these technical modules. Long horizontal drain lines and vertical lines or shafts through elements should be avoided.
HEATING, ELECTRICAL WORK AND VENTILATION
Plumbing works: water pipeline, equipment and boiler installations Heating equipment: installation of heating systems
Electrical work: cable routing, branch installation, switches and sockets installation, electrical switchbox installation. Ventilation works: Installation of ventilation pipes and assemblies
ENSURE WEATHERPROOFNESS Before shipment of the modules from the factory to the object, they are covered with weatherproof film coating, which helps to protect them from rain, wind and sun. The cover sheet is tightly repositioned in the module, it does not drip in the wind and does not rub against the external facade. The film coating protects the module from damage to the module during land and sea transport and during storage.
TRANSPORT The choice of transport method depends on the module size and destination. In general, transport by trailer, in some cases combined with a vessel. We use the services of specialist companies. Additional work associated with special transportation and includes loading schemes, technical equipment, route planning, transportation licenses and temporary warehouse planning
LIFTING MODULES •The erection scheme should specify which lifting equipment is needed on site. •Depending on the project this will include for instance a mobile crane or tower crane, lifting slings or chains, eyebolts, etc. •The erection surface must be checked before starting erection — straightness, tolerances, etc. should be confirmed.
MODULE LIFT OPTIONS A LIFT ANGLE UP TO 45°
B LIFT ANGLE UP TO 30°
C LIFT ANGLE 90°
CONSTRUCTION SITE •An erection scheme must be made and approved according to the local building regulations before starting erection.
•Once it is ensured that the place and position of the modular element is within tolerance, it can be permanently fastened.
•On a construction site, prefab modules are usually directly lifted from trucks to the foundation.
•After the installation of adjacent modular elements, joints must be sealed.
•Therefore, the thorough planning and synchronization of unloading works in a port, transport of prefab modules to a construction site, the work of Timbeco´s site team and the work of crane operators and builders are vitally important.
•Once all modular elements of one floor are erected, other structural elements such as beams, posts and CLT slabs which are not included in modular elements can be installed. •The structure must be stabilized before starting installation of the next floor.
MODULAR ROOF Modular roofing are a perfect match for modular or element buildings. If possible, we first build the roof modules on the ground (needs a smooth surface like a foundation) and lift them as a module.
