Our Modular System explained

Seacove Homes have created a new concept in housing combining innovative design with standard components which are readily available in the building industry.

Our Modular System

• Our contemporary designs are based on a modular system which allows for infinite layout variations.
  
  
• Each module is 7.0m long by 3.5m wide and can be connected together in various combinations.
  
  
• The walls are folded flat for easy transportation on a flat bed truck or similar without the need for oversize load pilots or special travel permits.
  
  
• The design allows for the modules to be stacked on top of each other and typically four modules can be loaded onto a flat bed truck

The Materials

Seacove Homes are working in conjunction with a major Australian steel manufacturer and the structures use steel and Allgal^TM products.

• All exposed steel is hot dipped galvanised.
  
  
• The external wall frames are clad with the material of your choice
  
  
• The factory installed window and door frames are powder coated aluminium, with a wide range of styles and colours
  
  
• The roof is constructed in panels with Colorbond^TM roof sheeting and Aircel^TM insulation installed. Colorbond^TM
  
  guttering is also provided.
  
  
• Floor sheeting is yellow tongue with cement board in the shower areas.
  

A range of outside covered decks, with hardwood decking installed in the factory, offers additional optional features.

Easy assembly on site

• The site should be prepared and set out in accordance with the post set out plan and recommended footing detail.
  
  
• A small all terrain crane is required on site to offload and position the modules ready for erection. (Alternatively a crane truck could be used for delivery and erection.)
  
  
• Master module is raised off the truck and the floor support posts are swung down and bolted into place on the floor system.
  
  
• The crane manoeuvres the module into position, aligning the posts with the prepared footings, the posts then connect to the footings.
  
  
• Sub-modules (including deck modules) are installed in sequence in a similar manner and the floor system bolted together.
  
  
• Walls are unfolded, bolted and screwed together.
  
  
• Roof panels are lifted into position and bolted on top of the wall frames from the inside. Roof Panels are pre-fabricated, complete with roof sheeting & insulation installed.

The house is now structurally sound and the deck roof support posts and deck roof panels can then be installed.
