Find in our FAQ the answer to all your questions about our modular homes and buildings.
Are there architectural differences between a modular home and a traditional construction?
There are no architectural differences in modular construction compared to traditional construction; what our team does is maximize the potential of your product, in this case, the projects carried out by our teams try to size in the most financially efficient way, however, never limiting the client’s goal. At Cubo para Projecto, we adapt our system to your request.
Are there differences in finishes between a Modular home and a Traditional home?
The constructions carried out by C2P are a final product identical to that of a traditional construction. However, there is a difference in the entire approach to the construction process; traditional construction works with porous materials (brick, concrete, plasters, etc.), while C2P modular constructions work mostly with dry products (Metal, Plasters, Mineral Wool, etc.), allowing for greater constructive and sustainable efficiency.
However, all finishing materials (ceramics, decorative woods, painting) are the same ones used in traditional construction; the C2P team has just moved to the next level of construction preserving all the decorative aspects that our clients are accustomed to.
What is the reason for choosing a C2P modular construction?
C2P is the first company to perform construction of the 3 types of modular construction allowing the client to have “out of the box” creations with sustainable and highly efficient materials.
All our construction is simultaneously in the factory and on the construction site ensuring a quick construction process, and with constant monitoring.
C2P also stands out for the fact of performing a mixed structure construction that combines Light Steel with Laminated Steel (Industrial), which allows offering solutions that start from an external reading space to the construction of large hospitals and schools.
But beyond this, we consider ourselves a company that seeks modern and efficient solutions, with the goal of satisfying all requests.
What is the average construction time of a house?
We cannot guarantee that all projects will have the same construction period, considering that the houses are built each with a different project.
But in order to give an estimate, C2P commits to performing a modular house in factory of 100m2 in 90 calendar days.
How long does it take to install a C2P house?
It depends on project to project, however, a 100m2 house takes 1 day to be installed and usually another 22 working days to be finished on the construction site (barricading, electricity, certificates, etc).
Is it possible to carry out a customized project?
All our projects are customized, we perform the project study according to your requirements.
Is it possible to obtain financial support for the C2P modular construction?
Yes, the company has agreements with banks to ensure that the financial process is equal to that of a traditional construction.
Are there problems in licensing a C2P modular project?
The company carries out construction of metal structures which is similar to a traditional construction, thus the licensing process is the same as any traditional construction.
Do modular construction projects need licensing?
It depends on the type of project, however, legislation indicates that any construction of a permanent character in the legal framework needs licensing.
That is, residential houses need licensing, temporary character constructions do not need, however, it has nothing to do with the type of construction, but with the purpose of the project.
Is it necessary to have another company to support the construction of C2P houses?
No, the C2P company has the turnkey process, in other words, the company helps in the process of obtaining land until the final delivery of your project, without ever needing the client to depend on third parties.
Is it possible to adapt a project with a construction license for modular construction?
Yes, the C2P company performs adaptation of traditional construction to our modular project, dealing with all the project part and licensing of changes.
What is the average time of a C2P Construction?
The total time of a project depends on its specifics, however, the construction of a 100m2 house takes on average 5 to 6 months to be finalized and delivered to the client.
What is the energy class of a C2P house?
The energy goal of the C2P team is to ensure an energy class A, however, this may vary with the geographical location of the construction and the financial availability of the client to achieve the A Classification.
However, all projects located in the Greater Lisbon area will obtain the A classification.
What is the fire resistance of C2P constructions?
All constructive materials applied in C2P construction are fire-resistant, in other words, if C2P construction does not have materials that increase instant heat to the fire the metal structure does not reach temperature (1370º C) that cause yields.
What is not included in the reference prices?
The following points are not included:
- Foundations (it is not possible to estimate the difficulties inherent in the implantation on the ground)
- Earth movement (depends on land to land)
- External walls and external technical frames
- External arrangements
- Infrastructure connections to the public network (electricity, water, and sanitation)
- Geological studies
- Licensing Project and decoration
- Support structures or leaning against the main construction
- Appliances
- Transport (depending on the distance from our Factory)
- Crane
- VAT, municipal fees, pool, electricity, water, and sanitation.
If you do not have land, can C2P help us?
Yes, the C2P company has the capacity to indicate which are the trained and prepared people to search with you for the best land for your project.
