1. Construction Timeline

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Total duration: 12–18 months

Total duration: 5–9 months

High dependence on weather conditions (rain, cold, heat)

Factory manufacturing: independent of weather conditions

Sequential processes: each stage depends on the completion of the previous one

Parallel processes: manufacturing and foundation works carried out simultaneously

Frequent delays due to coordination between different trades

Optimised internal coordination

Concrete curing and drying periods

On-site installation: 1–2 days

Risk of delays to the original schedule

Guaranteed schedule with minimal deviations

Time savings: up to 9 months

The MOODUL System can reduce the overall construction time by up to 50% compared to traditional construction, allowing you to move into your home sooner while reducing financing costs.

2. Quality Control

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Built outdoors under uncontrollable conditions

Manufactured in a clean, controlled environment

Quality depends on on-site workmanship

Standardised processes with ISO certification

Occasional rather than systematic inspections

Quality control at every stage of production

Hidden installations are difficult to verify

Inspection and testing of building systems prior to transport

Finishes exposed to dust, moisture and dirt

Finishes applied under optimal conditions

Mainly visual inspections with limited technical testing

Documented technical testing (airtightness, insulation, etc.)

Key Quality Factors

Aspect

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Airtightness

Variable, with possible air leakage

Factory-tested and certified

Thermal bridges

Difficult to eliminate completely

Eliminated through industrial design

Acoustic insulation

Depends on on-site workmanship

Systematically monitored and verified

Finishes

Variable depending on site conditions

Consistently high quality thanks to controlled manufacturing conditions

3. Sustainability and Environmental Impact

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Waste generation: 15–20% of materials

Generación de residuos: 3-5% del material

High and difficult-to-control water consumption

Optimised and monitored water consumption

Higher emissions due to multiple material deliveries

Single transport of fully finished modules

Prolonged noise pollution in the surrounding area

Noise pollution: only 1–2 days during installation

Constant dust and airborne particles

Zero dust generated around the building plot

Complex and costly waste management

Recycling integrated into the manufacturing process

60% reduction in construction waste

Industrialised manufacturing makes it possible to recycle, reuse and optimise materials, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to traditional construction.

4. Energy Efficiency

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Energy rating: typically C, D or E

Energy rating: Standard A or higher

Thermal bridges commonly found in the structure

Zero thermal bridges thanks to industrial design

Variable airtightness depending on workmanship

Tested and certified airtightness

Insulation with potential discontinuities

Continuous insulation without interruptions

Energy consumption: 80–150 kWh/m²/year

Energy consumption: 20–40 kWh/m²/year

Higher long-term heating and cooling costs

60–70% savings on energy bills

Integrated Efficiency Systems in MOODUL

Air-source heat pump: High-efficiency heating and cooling system that extracts energy from the outside air.

Underfloor heating and cooling: Even temperature distribution with minimal energy consumption.

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery: Renews indoor air without energy loss (up to 90% heat recovery).

High-performance windows and doors: Triple low-emissivity glazing with thermal break frames.

High-density insulation: Continuous thermal envelope without interruptions.

5. Structural Durability

Traditional Construction

MOODUL System

Reinforced concrete or masonry structure

M-STAK Structure: Galvanised Steel + Concrete

Service life: 50+ years with regular maintenance

Service life: 50+ years with minimal maintenance

Potential cracking due to ground settlement

Superior seismic performance

Quality depends on on-site workmanship

Industrial quality, controlled and certified

LOE structural warranty: 10 years

LOE structural warranty: 10 years + additional certifications

Regular maintenance required

Premium certified materials

Structural Advantages of the M-STAK System

The combination of high-strength galvanised steel and reinforced concrete floor slabs combines the advantages of both materials:

Strength: Steel provides exceptional rigidity and superior structural performance.

Durability: Galvanised steel protects against corrosion for decades.

Thermal mass: Concrete provides thermal inertia, improving indoor temperature stability.

Seismic performance: The modular structure absorbs vibrations more effectively.

Acoustic insulation: The mass of the system enhances acoustic comfort.
