A little clarity.
A world of possibilities.

Modular construction means building most of a structure in a factory rather than on site. The frame, envelope, interior finishes and equipment are completed offsite, then the finished modules are delivered and installed on your plot.

Our modules suit a wide range of projects: private homes and residential communities, ADUs and granny flats, hotels, resorts and glamping, commercial spaces, public facilities, and education or healthcare buildings.

Factory production of a standard module takes around 15 days once the production package is confirmed. Time on site then depends on site preparation and foundations, the number of modules, lifting conditions and local requirements.

Each module is built in the factory and delivered to your site. It is then lifted or positioned with suitable equipment, structurally connected to the other modules, sealed and connected to utilities. After a final inspection, the building is handed over according to the agreed project scope.

We plan transport around the size of the modules, the destination and the route. Depending on the model and the project, modules can travel by flatbed truck, in frame container solutions, or in standard shipping containers.

No. Our houses are not built from a standard container shell. They use aluminium and steel modular building systems, which allow more customization, a higher level of factory prefabrication and better finish options. They are designed as permanent buildings.

Yes. Our current solutions can go up to 4 floors, subject to an engineering review and confirmation against local building codes.

Wind and seismic resistance can be engineered to each project’s requirements. Some configurations are designed for Level 16 winds and Level 8 earthquakes. Final performance is confirmed in the project’s engineering package and against local codes.

We can provide documentation for the following certifications and standards: CE, CodeMark, SAA, UL, WaterMark, CIDB, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, EPD, SIRIM and welding certification, as well as material reports.

Depending on the model and the project package, a house can include the structural frame, exterior cladding, doors and windows, interior wall and ceiling finishes, flooring, bathroom, cabinetry, electrical and plumbing connection points, insulation, and optional equipment.

The designed service life can reach 50 years or more, provided the building is engineered, installed, used and maintained to the project requirements.

Walls, roof, glazing and insulation can be configured to suit different climates. Final thermal performance is confirmed against the target country, local codes and the project specification.

Yes. Alfordable can help with floor plan layout, model selection, facade direction and custom renderings, tailored to your project.

A standard 1-year warranty applies. The exact warranty scope and after-sales response are set out in the project contract, and we can also arrange online technical support and installation guidance.

Most of the work happens in the factory, so there is less to do on site and fewer workers are needed there. Delivery is faster and schedules are more predictable, quality is more consistent, and the system is flexible enough to customize for repeat B2B projects.

Yes. A modular building goes through the same permit application as a traditional build. We supply the construction drawings and engineering calculations required by building regulations to support your application. Requirements can vary with the building’s intended use and local rules.

Here is how the two approaches compare:

Because it is built to last. Modular buildings use stronger structures and higher-grade materials and systems. That extra strength is significant: it keeps repair costs down over the years, and a modular building can even be relocated several times without losing its structural integrity.
