It only takes 1-1.5 months from the start of production to the completion of the main structure, which is more than twice as fast as the traditional way of building a house.

3. Freely adjust the space
Whether it is a 30-square-meter studio or a 150-square-meter family home, it can be achieved through a combination of standard modules. The wall position can be fine-tuned as needed, and there are 12 modern-style panels available for the facade. If you need to expand in the future, just add new modules in the reserved position.
4. A more environmentally friendly choice
We use recyclable steel as the main material. The house comes with reserved water and electricity interfaces, which is very convenient for installing solar panels or rainwater collection systems in the future. The special insulation layer design built into the wall can effectively isolate cold and heat, saving energy costs in the long run.

How to choose the most suitable modular house? Five-step positioning method
Step 1: Clarify family composition and space requirements
Count the number of permanent residents and think about the changes in the next five years.
- If it is a family of six with three generations living together, a five-bedroom two-story house can balance privacy and interaction through independent suite modules.
- A newly formed small family chooses a two-bedroom basic model, and the reserved expansion interface can be equipped with a children’s room module when a new baby is imported.
- For single people or vacation use, the vertical storage system of the micro unit is sufficient to meet daily needs.
Step 2: Evaluate usage scenarios and mobility
Ask yourself two key questions: How many years does this house need to exist? Does it need to change location?
- For permanent residences planned for more than ten years, steel-structured houses with fixed foundations are preferred.
- For people engaged in cross-border projects or who like to travel, a portable design with a heavy-duty trailer interface is more practical.
- For temporary studios or emergency housing, foldable or container-sized portable models are the most economical.
Step 3: Analyze the geographical environment
Observe the challenges of the surrounding environment:
- Choose a salt spray-proof model with a thickened galvanized layer in coastal areas;
- Focus on the fire-resistant enhanced version in forest areas;
- Sound insulation modules are indispensable for living in downtown areas.
- In mountainous areas or uneven plots, the foundation solution with adjustable support feet is more adaptable than the traditional foundation.
Step 4: Weigh the budget and long-term costs
When calculating the total investment, you must calculate the “invisible bill”:
- although the initial cost of a fully steel-structured house is 15% higher than that of a wooden structure, it saves termite control and frequent maintenance costs;
- Although the unit price of an environmentally friendly model is slightly higher, the long-term energy savings can be recovered in two years.
Remember to choose an upgradeable modular system, which is more cost-effective than tearing down and rebuilding in the future.
Step 5: Define the aesthetic priorities of life
The 12 material options for the facade, from industrial-style metal panels to imitation wood grain composite materials, reflect the owner’s aesthetic attitude.
- For business people who need to receive clients frequently, modern luxury stone slab countertops and hidden storage can enhance the style of the space;
- Nature lovers can choose the ecological model with pre-installed green wall interface and “plant” the garden on the wall.
