Good questions. Clear answers.

Answers about quality, planning, approval, costs, production, transportation and changeability.

From the first idea to the later changes.

Here private builders, companies, operators and project developers can find answers to the most frequently asked questions. Since the property, use and building regulations shape every project, technical details, dates and costs are always confirmed on a project-specific basis.

01

Planning & Approval

Location, use and regional building regulations form the basis of every project.

02

Construction & Quality

Solid wood, controlled prefabrication and documented processes create a resilient basis.

03

Use & Change

Buildings can be expanded, reconfigured or examined for a new location based on a project.

Knowledge & Planning

Frequently Asked
Questions.

20 answers on system, planning, production, location, transport, costs and future.

01
Basics

What is a mc cube?

+

mc cube is a modular building system for residential, tourism, health, education, office, commercial and other uses. Room modules are largely prefabricated in the factory and assembled on site to form a complete building.

02
Basics

Is a mc cube as high-quality as a classic building?

+

Yes. The modular design describes the manufacturing process, not a lower quality level. The structure, building envelope, building services, fire, heat and sound insulation are planned according to use, location and applicable requirements.

03
Basics

How long does a mc cube last?

+

With professional planning, execution and maintenance, a mc cube is designed for long-term use. Solid wood is a long-lasting building material; The controlled, dry production supports a consistently high quality of execution.

04
Planning

How does a project begin?

+

It starts with usage, location, desired space, quality level, budget and schedule. From this we develop an initial feasibility test, a space program and the next planning steps.

05
Planning

Do I need a building permit for a mc cube?

+

Basically yes. Modular buildings are subject to the building regulations at the respective location. Which documents and evidence are required depends, among other things, on the federal state, municipality, use, size and property.

06
Planning

How individually can a mc cube be designed?

+

Floor plan, facade, materiality, equipment and technical systems are developed project-specifically within the modular system logic. Standardized components create efficiency without restricting the architecture to a single floor plan.

07
Planning

Are two-story or multi-story buildings also possible?

+

Yes. Depending on the project, modules can be arranged next to each other, stacked or staggered. Statics, development, fire protection, sound insulation and building technology are planned across all floors from the start.

08
Production

What does prefabrication mean?

+

The supporting structure, building shell and many finishing works are created under controlled conditions in the factory. Depending on the project, windows, facades, installations, surfaces and fixed fixtures can be largely completed before transport.

09
Production

How well is a mc cube insulated and sealed?

+

Thermal protection, airtightness and moisture protection are planned according to location, use and energy goals. Construction and connection details are coordinated and checked during the production and assembly process.

10
Production

What happens if a deficiency occurs?

+

Services, tests, acceptance and warranty are regulated in the respective project contract. Through documented production, defined interfaces and quality controls, deviations should be identified early and remedied in a comprehensible manner.

11
Location

What foundations does a mc cube need?

+

The foundation depends on the soil, building configuration, loads and local regulations. Depending on the project, point, strip, slab or screw foundations are possible. The specific solution is determined through planning and soil reports.

12
Location

Does the distance to the ground create moisture under the building?

+

Not with professional planning. Ventilation, ground clearance, terrain, drainage and connections are coordinated so that moisture is removed in a controlled manner and the structure is permanently protected.

13
Location

Can animals nest under a mc cube?

+

Base and floor connections can be protected with suitable covers and grilles. The exact design depends on the foundation, terrain and the desired design of the base area.

14
Transportation

Can a mc cube really be transported or relocated later?

+

The modular design can allow for later dismantling and transport. Whether this makes technical and economic sense depends on the module size, expansion, foundation, accessibility, transport route, approval and new location.

15
Transportation

How complex is transport and assembly?

+

The modules are delivered by special transport and placed with a crane. The visible assembly process can be done very quickly; However, access, crane location, foundation, media connections and remaining work must be coordinated at an early stage.

16
Costs & dates

Why is the price per square meter not directly comparable to a shell of a building?

+

The same scope of services must be compared. A largely prefabricated building can already contain windows, facade, installations, surfaces, sanitary areas and other fittings. The property, planning, permits, foundation, transport and outdoor facilities are transparently delineated in the offer.

17
Costs & dates

Can I save costs by doing my own work?

+

Personal contributions are possible with clearly defined expansion packages. They must be coordinated early so that the warranty, interfaces, schedule and controlled prefabrication are not affected.

18
Costs & dates

How long does it take from inquiry to delivery?

+

This depends on size, individualization, planning status, approval, utilization and site preparation. Once these points have been clarified, a project-specific schedule for planning, production, assembly and completion is created.

19
future

Can a mc cube be expanded or contracted later?

+

The modular grid creates good conditions for later changes. Extensions, dismantling or new configurations must still be examined statically, technically, design-wise and in terms of approval for the specific building.

20
future

What makes the construction sustainable?

+

Possible advantages include renewable materials, controlled use of materials, short construction phases, adaptability and reuse. However, the actual environmental impact is determined by material choice, energy supply, transport, service life and subsequent use.
