What are the benefits of modular unit construction?
Modular units are quick to build and adapt to your needs. Because everything is prefabricated in our factory, the environmental impact is lower and there are less inconveniences on site. We usually only need 1 to 5 days on site.
Do you need an environmental permit for a modular unit?
This depends on the project, the plot and the region.
In general, you need an environmental permit for buildings larger than 30m², but this should be considered on a project-by-project basis.
When do I need an architect?
An architect is required for buildings larger than 40m² or if adjustments to the stability of the building are required.
For units smaller than 40m², we can arrange the environmental permit.
For larger projects, we work with partner architects.
Can modular units be moved after installation?
Yes, our units can be disassembled and moved.
Expansion is also possible later.
Can I view modular units?
Yes, you can view our units at our show site in Beerse or at our partner Matterne Outdoor. You can also request a visit to a realized project near you.
What is the lifespan of the units?
Our units last 15-20 years without renovation.
After that time, just like a traditional building, you can renovate them.
What kind of finishing is possible?
We can deliver the units casually or fully furnished, including custom cabinets.
The choice is yours.
What foundation is used for a modular unit?
We usually use screw piles, which are machine-drilled into the ground for a stable foundation.
Depending on the location and duration of use, we may also use concrete points or precast blocks.
We discuss this together.

Is maintenance required on a modular unit?
In addition to normal maintenance such as cleaning, you should maintain the heat pump/air conditioner and water heater annually. We recommend cleaning the exterior with soap and water every two weeks and treating the wood siding annually.
Can I screw or drill into the walls?
Yes, you can.
For lightweight structures, you can use self-screwing screws.
For heavier items, we recommend dowels or bolts.
Always seek advice from our technician before starting, to avoid unintended damage.
What about utilities?
We can install and connect the utilities for you, or we can give you advice so you can do it yourself.
How are modular units placed?
We always place units with a crane, depending on the situation with a truck crane, telescopic crane or tower crane.
The choice of crane depends on the distance and height of the lifting job, ranging from 26m to 60m.
We always choose the right crane for your project.
What are the advantages of a modular pool?
Modular pools are portable, which often means you don’t need a permit.
In addition, they do not require a separate technical room, as it is already built in.
Do you need an environmental permit for a modular pool?

Because the pool is portable, you often don’t need a permit.
Check with your municipality.

We recommend maintenance twice a year at winter and summer pool preparation.
We can show you this at installation, or you can have our technician do it for you.

Which models are intended for installation?
The Infinity 4 and 5 are suitable for built-in.
The other models can also be partially built-in with some modifications.
