When we are thinking about our house, many issues must be present. Once we are already in the phase of thinking about our house, it is time to bet on sustainability. We must study our needs, but also our desires. A balance must be achieved between both facets. There, in that weighing of possibilities and realities, is when the values come into play. strengths of modular construction.
Thinking about our house
We are thinking about our house and we must think about what we want and why we want it. The easy answer and without much thought is that we want it to live in it. Houses are meant to be lived in, without a doubt, but what is our life like? Not all of us decide to have a family life, those who choose that type of life do not choose the same type of family. There are large families, others that are as small as possible. There are people who decide to live their lives as a couple and accompanied by their friends. That is why we need a house that adapts to our way of life. At this point, the size, the stay program, and the design of the home are key.
Nor should we forget the context where our house is going to be found. A rural or urban environment. The weather in the area, will we be able to use the outdoor areas a lot? With all these parameters, we must decide that the outdoor areas are extensions of our house. Areas that can be opened to the outside at will. Or close to be incorporated into the house before inauspicious weather. These circumstances will be what lead us to one type of housing or another. The truth is that the adaptability of our modular homes puts us at a clear advantage over other systems. Our construction system adapts to the needs and possibilities of each specific case.
Thinking about our house: choosing materials
The choice of materials is essential for the final result. In our case, the main material is reinforced concrete that makes up the prefabricated elements. The building finishes are chosen from a catalog with different quality levels. The process of choosing finishes and materials is also scheduled. It is part of our design and construction processes. This brings us to one of the key points of our modular system, the reduction of deadlines. The reduction of these deadlines is one of the advantages of prefabricated houses.
The entire manufacturing and construction process is supervised with continuous quality controls. For our homes we use materials that offer better performance in the long run. At the same time, they lead to savings thanks to the useful life of our buildings. Products and materials that are XNUMX% recyclable. All this because of our commitment to a sustainable model.
Thinking about our house: energy savings
Perhaps one of the things we are most proud of is our achievements in energy efficiency. The envelope of our prefabricated houses gives the best results in energy efficiency. This is something that goes beyond achieving the best energy rating. That homes are energy efficient helps their users save. The reduction in energy costs in home maintenance is substantial.
There are many factors that help this goal. Of course the enclosures of our envelope are the main element. There are others such as the study and analysis of the location of each of our homes. We adapt our modules to the location of each of them. We play with the orientation, and the thermal inertia of the set. The protection of the home from prevailing winds. The collection of solar energy is another of the possibilities we have to build sustainable buildings.
The clear advantages of modular construction
Without a doubt, the greatest advantage of modular construction is its versatility. In principle, any model of our homes can be located anywhere on our peninsula and islands. All of them are designed to be built for any destination. But the truth is that being the same model, there will never be two identical homes. It is impossible thanks to the level of customization that our prefabricated homes achieve. No two users are the same, and no two prefabricated houses are the same. The behavior of our buildings in any location is the same. The solution for the needs and preferences of each user is different.
