Prefab Homes built to Fit

This prefabricated home company does things the Brazilian way, which, judging from this modular house, means clean, square modular constrution with an attractive patio style.

The basis of this building idea is that the modular house can have a fluid size (and, one might expect, arrangement) of its container bin-like module pieces.

What that means is a modular home starts out with a given amount of 22 meter square module blocks, which can attach to each other, and if a family grows, wants to add a business space, or otherwise wants to change shape, it can.

For example, I saw a demo of this prefabricated home company Jular building a custom modular house with 8 modules and 2 patios.

They arrive on a site which has been prepared with level pillars stable in the ground, and begin crane-lifting module pieces into place. They move them in and fit the modules into each other sort of like kids do with Lego.

Because the prefab plan has been figured out beforehand, some of these module blocks have exterior walls, some interior walls, some have no walls. They remove the pywood sheeting that protects the windows during the delivery.

Then they frame up the patio roof, which is just beams of lumber, and proceed to secure the modules together. The roofs are all thermal insulated SteicoRoof and SteicoFlex. The walls are insulated with the same, by the way.
