Modular Construction Systems
What we do
Design and manufacture of modular building systems, supported by site planning, logistics, and installation strategies.
Our approach combines precision-made components, regional manufacturing networks and local craftsmanship.
We create high-performance environments that can be delivered anywhere faster and scaled effectively.
Services
Master Planning & Site Strategy
Site analysis, layout, and infrastructure coordination to align the build with terrain, access, and phasing.
Product Development & Design
Structural engineering, materials research, and digital modeling that turn a system into a deliverable building.
Manufacturing & Fabrication
Regional manufacturing networks across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas for components made close to site.
Design & Installation Packages
Flexible scopes ranging from design-only through to full turnkey delivery and assembly on site.
Comfort Engineering
Climate-specific analysis and systems tuned to deliver high-performance environments in any location.
Regulatory Compliance
Local standards, codes, and permitting integrated into the system from the earliest design stage.
Systems
Why BYLD
| Traditional | Standard Prefab | BYLD | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed of Construction | long programme; sequenced trades with no parallel workstreams. | factory-built modules; reduced programme. | factory and site in parallel; quick assembly. |
| Ground Preparation | excavation and traditional foundations. | excavation, levelling, and a concrete pad in most cases. | shallow foundations that work on uneven or difficult ground. |
| Customisation | fully bespoke design possible. | fixed catalogue; form dictated by container dimensions and delivery. | configurable within the design system; meaningful choice. |
| Design Freedom | architect-led, no form constraints. | form follows the factory module. | varied form with efficiency retained. |
| Localism | local trades and regional materials. | centralised manufacture; remote jobs, no local finishes. | local assembly, regional supply chain, and local finishes where possible. |

FAQ
How much faster is BYLD?
It depends on the site and system, but because components are manufactured off site while groundwork happens in parallel, projects typically reach occupancy meaningfully faster than a comparable traditional build. We give you an indicative programme at the feasibility stage.
How is pricing structured?
We work from an indicative cost at feasibility, then firm it up as the system is configured and engineered. Scopes range from design-only through to full turnkey delivery, so you can engage at the level that suits the project.
Can you build on a difficult or sloping site?
Yes. Shallow foundations let our systems work on uneven or difficult ground that conventional foundations struggle with, usually with far less excavation.
Do you handle planning and permits?
We read the planning and regulatory context as part of feasibility and integrate local codes and standards into the design from the outset. We can coordinate with local consultants on submissions.
What materials do you build with?
Primarily engineered timber (glulam and CLT), which stores carbon and reduces reliance on concrete and steel, combined with local finishes where possible.
Where do you operate?
We are based in Madrid and manufacture through regional networks across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas, so components can be made close to site.
Can a building be expanded or relocated later?
Yes. The systems are demountable and reconfigurable: you can add units, change layouts, or relocate, rather than demolish and rebuild.
What is the "tokenized building" you have been featured for?
The Hub ICON, the demountable pavilion BYLD developed and delivered at Davos with Hub Culture, is digitally twinned on-chain via Hedera, with its fabrication, assembly, and use integrated into the digital world. A real, award-recognised building with a live digital twin and on-chain record, and the foundation for the financing and co-investment structures we are developing next.
