construction

the structures are the product of an innovative process of design, pre-fabrication, packaging, transportation and construction.

in the factory

the prefabricated modular components include :

  • the footings

  • primary steel frame

  • floor frame and floor panels

  • external and internal wall panels

  • external windows/doors

  • external decking panels and steps

  • ceiling panels

  • roof sheeting and accessories

transport

the “flat pack” construction components are packed in specific order into standard shipping containers for transport either inside Australia, or overseas.

part of the overall project includes the supply of the containers, which have a special place in remote areas, such as mining communities where they are often adapted for other uses.

on site

  • steel couplings

the couplings are the catalyst, which facilitates the ease of construction.

located at floor level and at roof level, the couplings are a means for joining all the primary steel sections, which support the prefabricated components.

the couplings are also a mechanism for levelling the structure, bringing it into alignment and into dimensional correctness.

  • site fixings

all the connections in the m_house between the steel frames and the prefabricated components are either bolted, or screwed.

the method reduces the need for skilled site labour and the type and the extent of tools for fixing.

the system also dispenses with wet trades (other than if an optional concrete floor is required), the traditional hammer, saw and nails.

  • plug in services

the prefabricated components include pre-wired and pre-plumbed wall panels.

electrical cabling within the panels clips together with provision for lighting and power.

pre-plumbed waste and water services within the panels extend to points of connection from supply services into the building.

  • the procedure for construction is set out step by step in an accompanying manual.
