Tell us about your project and we’ll prepare a tailored proposal within 48 hours. No obligation, no sales pressure.
Once you submit your inquiry, here’s how we move from brief to build.
Our engineering team assesses your requirements within 24 hours, reviewing building type, scale, location constraints, and any special requirements you’ve outlined.
We provide a free high-level feasibility assessment including indicative programme, module count estimate, logistics assessment, and outline specification aligned with your brief.
Detailed budget estimate with cost breakdown by work package, design, manufacturing, logistics, installation, and finishing. Delivered within 48 hours of the feasibility assessment.
Optional: schedule a workshop with our design team to refine the brief, explore façade options, review layout configurations, and align on programme milestones.
The difference between a usable indicative price and a number that collapses later is almost never the module rate. It is five inputs that are missing from the brief. Here is what we need, and what happens to the estimate when each one is absent.
| Input | What we need | What goes wrong if it is missing |
|---|---|---|
| Site access | Nearest port, road width on the final leg, crane standing area, overhead line heights | Module dimensions are set by what can physically reach the slab. A 4.2 m wide module quoted against a 3.5 m road is a re-quote, not a variation. |
| Foundation scope | Who designs and pours it, soil report if available, whether piles are likely | Foundation is the single most common line missing from a competitor quote. It is real money and it is on your side of the boundary unless stated. |
| Specification level | Finish standard, wet-wall count, HVAC type, whether lifts or stairs are in scope | A "hotel room" ranges from basic to brand-standard. The spread between them is wider than the spread between two suppliers quoting the same scope. |
| Approval route | Which authority signs off, whether the module is treated as a building or a structure, any local certification already obtained | Approval drives programme far more than fabrication does. In healthcare it is usually the longest single phase of the project. |
| Programme driver | The date that actually matters, and what it costs you to miss it | A fixed opening date changes the production plan and the freight plan. Without it we optimise for cost and you may get a cheaper, slower answer than you wanted. |
If you only have three of the five, send them and say so. A short brief with an honest gap list is more useful than a long brief with a guessed site access, because we can flag the gap in the feasibility response instead of discovering it at the design freeze. The programme logic behind these inputs is set out in how it works, and the freight and delivery side in shipping and delivery.
An indicative price is only useful if you know where our scope stops. This is the split we use on every quotation, stated up front rather than negotiated later.
| Work package | MODURA | Client |
|---|---|---|
| Module fabrication and factory fit-out | ✓ | |
| Factory acceptance test and inspection access | ✓ | Attends |
| Land freight, sea freight, destination haulage and cranage | Quoted as a line | Approves routing |
| Foundation design and construction | Coordinates | ✓ (or quoted as an option) |
| On-site services connection: water, power, drainage, data | Terminates at module | ✓ |
| Building permit, planning, local authority sign-off | Supplies documentation | ✓ |
| Import duty, taxes, customs clearance at destination | Supplies correct paperwork | ✓ |
| Local groundworks beyond the module interface | ✓ |
The line buyers most often assume is ours and is not: import duty and destination customs. We provide the paperwork and the HS classification support, but the duty is a function of your jurisdiction, not of our price. If two suppliers quote the same FOB number, the duty treatment can still make them 10 to 15 percent apart on delivered cost. The full freight breakdown, including demurrage risk and risk transfer by transit stage, is on the shipping page, with the container-loading and routing side written up in modular transportation and logistics.
Foundation is the second line that separates a serious quote from a partial one. If your site has soft ground, made ground, or slope, the foundation design changes and so does the module interface. Where that risk sits, and how piled and screw foundation systems compare on cost and programme, is covered in modular building foundation systems. We will price the foundation either as our scope or yours, but we will not leave it unstated.
These are the four objections that come up on nearly every pre-contract call. The answers are the same whether you ask them here or on the call.
If your question is not here, ask it before you ask for a price. We would rather spend a call on scope than produce a number that has to be reissued. Talk to the project team.
