Modular homes is an emerging fast-growing segment in the home building industry. Modular homes are framed units which are erected in conformity with local building codes using precise and efficient construction technology. This technology uses fibre-cement sandwich panels for load-bearing wall and Anticorrosive Galvanized Iron (G.I.) joining strips (profiles) with fibre-cement boards for non-load bearing walls. The components with a few sawn hardwoods are integrated to make a hard
structure.
The Walls
The walls are made of fibre-cement sandwich panels, which are a permanent, rot proof, non-inflammable product, with a load-bearing capacity sufficient to carry the roof structure of this type of building.
The Roofs
The roof is made of corrugated fibre-cement sheets with ceiling on a wooden frame.
