UCUBER APPLY TECHNOLOGY AT EVERY STEP OF ITS PROCESS.

In close cooperation with URBA Architects and URBA Tech, we have created a complete building system utilizing our proprietary chassis design. With the relatively small set of cube types, varying in size and function, we can create multiple layouts. By stacking basic one-bedroom units we can create multiple-bedroom apartments. Then we add common space units such as elevators, stair modules, and others to create an entire building.

In the design phase, we often utilize our UCUBER design ® tool, which enables quick and easy initial design and estimate.

In this phase, UCUBER cooperates closely with other URBA ENTERPRISES companies:

  • URBA Architects, an award-winning architect studio, specializing in prefab and modular architecture,
  • URBA Designs for the interior design
  • URBA Tech, that empowers URBA Enterprises with construction technology software

UCUBER ENHANCES THE QUALITY AND INCREASES THE SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

UCUBER is unique amongst modular companies for its versatility and ability to offer both light and heavyweight modular technologies. We are even able to use them both in one project.

Main structural options

  • LST – light steel thin wall structure
  • WST – welded steel structure
  • TF – timber frame structure
  • MABUDO ROBUST ® – reinforced concrete with integrated insulation
  • MABDUDO ECO ® – reinforced concrete with integrated insulation

Ucuber sub-assembly building block

  • chassis (LST, WST, TF),
  • panelized reinforced concrete insulated wall
  • TF – timber frame structure
  • both

All the structural sub-assembly components are produced by either UCUBER or MABUDO, which are factories operating under the URBA Enterprises umbrella. The Chassis and panelized wall are the building blocks and main structural components of our system.


All sub-assemblies are brought together in the final cubes’ assembly, and the final drywall and paint are applied once finished. UCUBER factories can currently produce 35 cubes (modules) per week at full capacity.

ASSEMBLY PHASE TECHNOLOGY

Completed cubes, safely wrapped in their waterproof membrane, are loaded onto trailers, and then transported to the construction site by lorries.

Cubes are stacked with the use of a crane (tower or car crane), using UCUBER assembly technology and know-how. The cubes’ exterior wall panels are self-sealing, which eliminates the need for scaffolding for performing facade works.

Once assembled, the fit out and finishing touches are completed. Most of the work, including frequent quality inspections, happens in the factory, which additionally saves the time of the onsite inspections.

Advantages

DESIGN PHASE ADVANTAGES

  • acclaimed internal architecture design studio with an international presence
  • ability to design to the same codes and standards as conventional buildings
  • constant process and product improvement

MANUFACTURE PHASE ADVANTAGES

  • produced off-site, under controlled factory conditions
  • short production time and mobilization – we are able to start production within even 60 days of the signing an agreement
  • using highest quality materials, usually superior to those used traditionally
  • certified production quality (complying to PN 1090, ISO 9001)
  • 35% or better in energy used for production
  • using building materials sourced locally, with optimized logistics for carbon footprint reduction

ASSEMBLY PHASE ADVANTAGES

  • clean and quiet construction site, as 95% of total construction works is performed in the factory
  • quick and hassle-free assembly, ideal for locations with difficult access (premium neighborhood locations, small plots in city centers, secluded islands)
  • carbon footprint reduction, due to significantly reduced onsite waste.
  • speed
  • 200 m2 to 300 m2 / day (2.200 sqf to 3.500 sqf / day) of turnkey finished cubes
  • ex. premium villa, made of approx. 16 cubes is assembled within 2 working days (not including foundations and connection works)

Advantages

UCUBER PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

ALL PRODUCTS

  • water and fire resistant, an ideal solution for hotels, dormitories, and offices
  • silent walls thanks to solid acoustic insulation, for who all value a quiet home environment
  • use of low-emission materials
  • our buildings are resistant to earthquakes up to 6 Richter
