text-align: left;\">Land, site development and outdoor works therefore cost the same as for any other building. The difference arises in the building itself and through the construction time.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">Eight factors that decide the price<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">The following factors decide how economical a modular building becomes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">1. Repetition and grid<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">The more identical or similar modules a building has, the more efficient series production in the factory becomes. A well-thought-out grid is therefore one of the biggest cost levers. Variety is still possible: through the facade, the combination of floor plans and the finishes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">2. Early, finalised design<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">The factory works from fixed drawings. Changes after production starts are expensive. It pays off when the architect, structural engineer and modular construction partner plan together from the start and the design is matched to the system.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">3. Degree of prefabrication<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">The more is finished in the factory, the less work is left for the site. In the Pacarada system this includes finished bathroom pods and a plug-in electrical installation as in the automotive industry, prepared in the factory and simply plugged together on site.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">4. Transport and assembly<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">The size and weight of the modules, the distance between factory and site, the crane class and site access all affect the cost. Where large room modules would be uneconomical to transport, the Pacarada system can work with columns and beams (1D) or flat wall and floor elements (2D).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">5. Site and foundations<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Ground conditions, foundations and connections to water, drainage and power cost much the same in modular as in conventional construction. A soil survey therefore belongs at the start of every cost estimate.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">6. Building class and standards<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Height and use determine the requirements for fire protection and sound insulation. The energy standard affects costs and possible <a href=\"\/en\/modular-building-guide\/funding-modular-buildings-germany\/\">funding<\/a>. With the Pacarada system a new building with 123 apartments was built in Frankfurt am Main to the Effizienzhaus 40 standard.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">7. Construction time as a cost factor<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Time is money: a shorter construction time reduces interim financing and site costs and allows earlier use or letting. When an office building in Darmstadt was converted into 197 homes, construction with the Pacarada system was 44% faster than conventional construction.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">8. Life cycle<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Because everything in the Pacarada system is bolted and plugged, a building can later be converted or dismantled, and its components can be reused instead of being disposed of. That counts when you look not only at construction costs but at the cost over the building&#8217;s whole service life.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">The factors at a glance<\/h3>\n<table class=\"pac-table pac-table--cards\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 12px 0 8px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2; background: #f3f6f8; color: #0b3b5b; font-weight: 600;\">Factor<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2; background: #f3f6f8; color: #0b3b5b; font-weight: 600;\">What you can do<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Repetition and grid<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Match floor plans to a common grid<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Design<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Involve the modular partner before the design is fixed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Prefabrication<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Have as much as possible finished in the factory<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Transport and assembly<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Check site access and crane position early<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Site and foundations<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Start with a soil survey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Standards<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Settle the energy standard and funding early<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Construction time<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Plan factory production in parallel with site work<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td data-label=\"Factor\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Life cycle<\/td>\n<td data-label=\"What you can do\" style=\"text-align: left; vertical-align: top; padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #d7dde2;\">Consider dismantling and reuse from the start<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">Comparing quotes properly<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">A quote for a modular building often includes more than a quote for the shell in conventional construction.

In modular construction the design is completed before production starts. The price for the building is therefore usually fixed earlier and more reliably. For clients this means more decisions at the beginning and fewer surprises at the end.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 22px; text-align: left; margin-top: 32px;\">Frequently asked questions<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: left; margin-top: 22px;\">What does modular construction cost per square metre?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">There is no reliable flat price. The price depends on the building type, energy standard, finishes, number of storeys, location and number of units, and on which area and which cost groups it refers to. Only a cost estimate for the specific project is reliable.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: left; margin-top: 22px;\">Which costs come on top of the modular building?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Land, site development, foundations, utility connections, outdoor works and ancillary costs such as design, surveys and permits. They arise for every building, whatever the construction method.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: left; margin-top: 22px;\">Is modular construction cheaper than conventional construction?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Not automatically. Modular construction mainly saves time and makes costs more predictable: construction time is usually shorter, fewer skilled workers are needed on site, and risks such as weather or delays in individual trades have less effect. What that means in euros depends on the project.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: left; margin-top: 22px;\">When should I involve a modular partner?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">As early as possible, ideally before the design is fixed. The building can then be matched to the system grid and later redesigns can be avoided.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 19px; text-align: left; margin-top: 22px;\">How do I get a cost estimate for my project?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.6; text-align: left;\">Send us the building type, project location and, if available, drawings or a site plan via the contact form.
