Modular houses of high quality
Modular houses made of SIP-panels (Structural Insulated Panels) are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency, quick installation and environmental friendliness. And this is not surprising, as modern qualified builders increasingly favor this technology. The specificity of the approach is that it is possible to build both frame-panel type buildings from sip panels and other structures of different complexity, and for architects Canadian technology provides an immense field for experimentation.
It should be noted that initially modular houses served as technical premises due to their ease of transportation and quick installation. These structures included carriages for construction sites, compact warehouses and commercial stores. They were also used as seasonal cabins on summer cottages.
Nowadays, prefab modular houses are structures made of individual panels manufactured in a factory. Typically, such a building consists of four or more modular units that are assembled on site. These lightweight structures are set on a concrete or asphalt pad. Modular homes can be used multiple times, such as temporary structures for construction workers. In addition to walls, floors, and roof, all necessary communications are provided.
If you’re asking, what are modular houses? They are prefabricated structures that are modular and customizable to fit your needs. Modern modular facilities are quickly erected with factory-ready exterior and interior finishes. The modular building structure includes a frame made of galvanized steel profile, filled with composite insulation and covered with cladding panels made of reinforced fiberglass. This material is used in the automotive, aviation and shipbuilding industries.
What is a SIP panel?
SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) panel is a building material consisting of two outer layers, usually made of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) or other structural wood, and a central layer of insulating material, most often made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane. Key features and benefits of SIP panels include:
- OSB. Before making SIP panels, the board is treated with special compositions. Included are antiseptics that protect against fungi and bacteria, fire retardants to increase fire resistance, and water-repellent preparations that prevent moisture absorption.
- Styrofoam. High-density polystyrene foam is used to provide excellent thermal insulation. This material effectively retains heat and creates a comfortable microclimate in the room.
- Polyurethane glue. Polyurethane glue, which is applied under considerable pressure, reliably and durably glues OSB-3 with polystyrene foam. The result is a strong and sustainably bonded SIP panel.
What are the advantages of a house made of SIP-panels?
This technology is popular throughout Europe and North America because of its many advantages:
- Reliability. The tongue and groove connection principle is one of the most reliable ways to fasten the parts. For its realization you will need: a bar and composite inserts. The construction made according to this principle, withstands seismic activity up to 8 points on the Richter scale and the fall of trees.
- Lightness. The construction built according to this technology has a light weight. A small team of 3-4 people is enough for its installation. The weight of a finished house with an area of 150-200 m² does not exceed 15 tons. This means that there is no need for an expensive, powerful foundation.
- Speed and ease of installation. It is possible to build a cottage manually in just a few weeks, without resorting to special construction equipment. Full realization of the project by an experienced team will take 3-4 months.
- Low thermal conductivity. Compared to brickwork, one SIP panel (1.6-1.7 cm thick) replaces 2.42 meters of brick wall in terms of thermal insulation.
- Affordable cost. The price of a ready-made house will pleasantly surprise every customer. You can order a building on a ready-made project, which will be realized on your site. This allows you to save significantly on the development of project documentation. In addition, the cost of materials is much lower than that of bricks or foam blocks.
Many years of experience in construction
Our company has many years of experience in the construction of new modular turnkey houses for sale. The use of such technology allows us to significantly reduce the construction time. This is especially important for complex construction of cottage settlements, townhouses, warehouses, as well as tourist, agricultural and industrial facilities.
In North America, the technology of SIP panels is so widespread that most low-rise buildings are built using this method. Such houses have strong walls, and many owners install armored doors, making them real fortresses. A small additional cost for security doors provides a high level of security.

What should I pay attention to when ordering a modular house?
Before ordering a prefabricated modular houses, it’s important to consider a few key points. First, you need to get a building permit for construction on your lot, as well as all the necessary paperwork to connect utilities. Once the foundation is in place, you can start assembling the finished modular building.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the location of the factory that will produce small modular houses. This can affect the delivery and installation time, as well as the overall cost of the project.
Cost of modular homes
The modular houses price can vary significantly, but there are affordable modular houses available that don’t compromise on quality. The cost depends on several factors:
- Square footage and layout. Larger square footage and complex layouts require more materials and labor, which increases the price.
- Quality of materials. Different manufacturers offer SIP panels of varying quality. Choosing more durable and energy-efficient materials can increase the cost.
- Design and Finishes. Exterior and interior finishes, choice of colors, materials, and interior design affect the cost.
- Equipment. The presence of additional features and options such as built-in furniture, heating and air conditioning systems also adds to the price.
- Location and transportation. The cost of material delivery and installation can vary depending on the distance to the construction site and the terrain.
- Work and installation. Prices for construction companies that install a modular home can vary depending on the region and the level of professionalism of the specialists.
- Energy efficiency. Homes with improved insulation properties and energy efficient solutions may cost more, but provide lower operating costs.
