Key Features
With the use of MiC system, most of the building components are installed at the factory of which the workmanship can be strictly controlled and free of any site conditios. The overall prefabrication rate could reach 95% for each unit.
AluHouse adopted aluminum materials with vibrant colours and decorative patterns for the interior and exterior design. The use of aluminum can also be recycled for future use, making our project more enviromental friedly and sustainable.
Once the modules are delivered to the site, they will be hoisted into place and interlocked with the other modules with simple bolts to create a block. Staircases and corridors are built as MEP installation begins as well.
