ampliaci\u00f3n<\/strong>&nbsp;They are two of the most interesting advantages of the modular construction system. We think of our houses as living systems that can grow and adapt to your future needs.<br><br>The possibility of expanding your house is an important consideration from the initial design phase. If you think you might need more space in the future (a new bedroom, an office, a playroom\u2026), we can plan it from the start.<br><br>How is it done?<br><br>1.&nbsp;<strong>Preliminary Planning<\/strong>: In the original design, we can leave the structure \u201cprepared\u201d for a future expansion. This means designing the connection points, anticipating the passage of installations, and positioning the house on the plot so that the expansion is legal and urbanistically possible.<br><br>2.&nbsp;<strong>Addition of New Modules&nbsp;<\/strong>: The most common way to expand is by adding new modules. These are manufactured in our facilities, transported to your plot, and connected to the existing structure. The connection is quick and the inconveniences are minimal.<br><br>3.&nbsp;<strong>Horizontal or Vertical Expansion<\/strong>: The expansion can be on the ground floor (adding modules to the sides) or, if the structure was designed for it, vertically (adding a new floor).<br><br>Expanding a modular house is a process&nbsp;<strong>faster, cleaner and more economical<\/strong>&nbsp;than expanding a traditional house. It is a house that grows with you.,<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-25 kt-pane3191_c4b13d-7c animation-bottom-to-top\"><h2 class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">What type of modifications can I make to the house once it has been delivered?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/h2><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Once the house is yours, you can make modifications just like in any other home, but you must take into account the nature of the structure.<br><br>Here we differentiate between two types of modifications:<br><br><strong>Simple Modifications<\/strong><br><br>These are those that do not affect the structure or the main installations. You have complete freedom to:<br><br><em><strong>Paint<\/strong>&nbsp;walls in other colors.<br><\/em><strong>Change the floors<\/strong>.<br><em><strong>Renovate the kitchen or bathrooms<\/strong>.<br><\/em><strong>Install shelves, curtains<\/strong>, etc.<br><em><strong>Create or remove plasterboard partitions<\/strong>&nbsp;that are not structural.

The safety of the house depends on them. Our M-STAK system gives us a lot of information about which walls are structural and which are not.<br><em><strong>Open new windows or doors on the facade<\/strong>: It is possible, but it requires a study to ensure that the structure or the building's watertightness is not compromised.<br><\/em><strong>Major changes to the installations<\/strong>: Modifying the general plumbing or electrical wiring should be done by a professional.<br><br>In case of doubt,&nbsp;<strong>always consult us<\/strong>.

Our team of architects studies the feasibility of the extension (urban planning regulations, space on the plot) and designs the new module according to your needs. It is defined how it will connect with the existing house.<br><br>2.&nbsp;<strong>Procedures and License<\/strong>: An extension requires a construction license. We take care of preparing the technical project and obtaining the permit from the town hall.<br><br>3.&nbsp;<strong>Parallel Fabrication<\/strong>: While the license is being processed,&nbsp;<strong>we manufacture the new module in our facilities<\/strong>. This is a huge advantage, as you don't have to endure construction in your home during this time.<br><br>4.&nbsp;<strong>On-site preparation<\/strong>: A few days before the module arrives, our team prepares the expansion area. This may involve doing a small foundation for the new module and preparing the joint point on the facade of your current home. The inconvenience is minimal.<br><br>5.&nbsp;<strong>Installation Day<\/strong>\\u003a The new module arrives in a truck and, in a matter of hours, a crane places it in its spot and anchors it to the existing structure.<br><br>6.&nbsp;<strong>Final Touches<\/strong>\\u003a In the following days, the finishing and installation work is carried out so that the expansion is perfectly integrated, inside and out.<br><br>The result is&nbsp;<strong>more space in record time and with many fewer hassles<\/strong>.,<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-27 kt-pane3191_fbf64b-6b animation-bottom-to-top\"><h2 class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Can I change the interior layout of the house in the future?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/h2><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Yes, it's one of the great advantages of dry construction! Changing the interior layout of a Moodul house is&nbsp;<strong>much easier, faster and cleaner<\/strong>&nbsp;than in a brick house.<br><br>The key is that the majority of the&nbsp;<strong>interior partitions are not load-bearing walls<\/strong>\\. They are laminated gypsum panels (Pladur type) with acoustic insulation inside, mounted on a lightweight metal structure. Their function is simply to divide spaces.<br><br>This means you can:<br><br><em><strong>Join two rooms<\/strong>: Have the kids moved out and you want to combine their bedrooms to create a large suite? It can be done easily.<br><\/em><strong>Divide a large space<\/strong>: Do you need a new office in a corner of the hall? A new partition can be erected with minimal work.<br><em><strong>Move a door<\/strong>&nbsp;in place.<br><br><strong>What limitations are there?<\/strong><br><br><\/em><strong>Structural Walls<\/strong>: The walls that are part of the main structure of the house cannot be touched. When we hand over the house, we provide you with the technical documentation where these walls are clearly identified.<br>*&nbsp;<strong>Hamedas Zones and Installations<\/strong>: Moving a bathroom or a kitchen is more complex, as it involves modifying plumbing and sanitation installations. It is possible, but it is a larger-scale project.<br><br>This flexibility allows you to&nbsp;<strong>adapt your home to the different stages of your life<\/strong>&nbsp;with an unimaginable ease in traditional construction.,<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-35 kt-pane3191_a9e83f-3e animation-bottom-to-top\"><h2 class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">What costs are involved in a future expansion?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/h2><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The cost of a future expansion is variable and depends on many factors, but we can give you some general guidelines. The price will be composed of several items:<br><br>1.&nbsp;<strong>Module Cost<\/strong>: It is the main item. It includes the module itself manufactured with its interior and exterior finishes, carpentry, etc. The price per square meter is usually similar to that of the original house.<br><br>2.&nbsp;<strong>Cost of Logistics and Assembly<\/strong>: Includes the transport of the module from the factory and the rental of the crane needed for its installation.
