Minimal Access Requirements
A significant advantage of FlexoBuild home installation kits is that the whole kit can be walked through a garden gate. FlexoBuild home kits can be installed in very limited access areas without the use of cranes or heavy equipment. In fact if you can walk to the intended site, you can install a FlexoBuild home. Backyard, lake front, middle of a forested area. Minimal access from FlexoBuild.
No Heavy Equipment Required
FlexoBuild homes are designed for installation without the need for heavy equipment such as cranes. This approach reduces noise, minimizes costs associated with specialized machinery and operators, and speeds up the assembly process. Additionally, it eliminates the need for highly skilled heavy equipment operators, allowing local general contractors or small teams to handle the installation efficiently, even in areas with limited access.
Reduced Timelines, Cost Savings and Predictability
Contrary to conventional site-built construction, factory pre-manufacturing can overlap site development and foundation phases, resulting in significant reduction in project timeline hence lower overhead and holding costs. More importantly, since manufacturing activities occur within a controlled environment, we also offer our clients improved cost control and predictability.
Optimization and Economies of Scale
FlexoBuild’s capacity to deliver high volume production levels allows us to leverage economies of scale to offer competitive pricing. By producing components in bulk and optimizing the supply chain, we can pass on significant savings to our clients for large-scale property developments as well as individual projects. Using the auto industry’s principles of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA), we ensure the utmost efficiency and functionality of every aspect of design, manufacturing, shipping and site assembly.
Minimal Material Waste
Conventional construction methods often result in excessive on-site material waste, driving up costs and impacting the environment. FlexoBuild’s prefabricated home kits are engineered to minimize waste through precise manufacturing processes. By producing the complete home kit components in a controlled environment, each piece is made to exact dimensions hence drastically reducing on-site waste. This approach not only supports environmental sustainability but also lowers construction costs, providing significant savings for developers.
Improved Building Envelope and Exterior Finishes
The building envelope - the physical barrier between the interior and exterior of a home - plays a crucial role in energy efficiency. Insulated structural steel panels create a tight, well-sealed building envelope that minimizes air leakage. Our pre-finished exterior steel cladding comes coated with a baked enamel paint designed for timeless enjoyment. FlexoBuild offers a number of standard colours available in various combinations providing a unique taste for each application
Lower Energy Costs
Energy efficiency is a critical consideration for housing developments. The panels' core, made from expanded high-performance polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam insulation encased within durable steel layers. This structure forms a continuous thermal barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer through walls, roofs, and floors reducing energy costs. Compared to conventional insulation, the system is rot prove and will note deteriorate over time.
Optimized Shipping, Logistics & Interference
The FlexoBuild home kits are expedited in a ‘flat-pack” configuration optimized for maximum capacity without the need for any special road permits. Through our optimized loading sequencing, the number of loads is greatly reduced resulting in lower transportation costs and simplified on-site traffic logistics. In addition, a closely coordinated delivery schedule eliminates the need for large laydown areas. Also, the pre-finished, lightweight panels reduce the number of building products you traditionally need to source and ship to site. The reduction of site man-hours also minimizes multi-trades interference especially on projects where space is limited, hence improving overall productivity.
Health & Safety
A significant number of man-hours occur within a safer controlled factory environment, reducing exposure to higher risk site conditions.
