Modular Housing Plant Project
United States of America 01 January 2008
Donico Trading LLC & UGN International, LLC,
are offering for sale a Turnkey Modular Housing Plant.
This type of houses is called modular because they are built in sections, or modules. For instance, a 105-sq.m house consists of two modules; a 209-sq.m house consists of 4 modules.
High-quality houses are built inside of a factory, not on site. Since we can control the construction in an ideal environment inside the factory, we have practically no waste and are able to offer more housing for a lower price. The lower price is also due to the fact that we buy materials in big volumes – that’s why with big discounts - from manufacturers.
- Where most houses can take up to 1 year or more to build on site, Modular Houses are built in the factory within a matter of just one-two days, on a one shift per day basis
-Modular houses are 95 % ready at the plant; the remaining 5% readiness is achieved on-site, so a buyer receives a 100 % ready –to-live-in house connected to water, electricity, sewage, heating, and fully finished inside and outside (in 4 days after a buyer places the order)
- The key element of the modular technology is Wood Frame Construction. The walls (17 cm thick) consist of two boards: the inside part made of gypsum-carton boards, and the outside part made of plywood or OSB boards; and there is insulation between the boards, either a fiber-glass insulation or cellulose (which is preferable) insulation, which is fire-resistant. A house can be covered with a vinyl siding, or excellent cement-fiber board, which looks like siding but is as durable as cement and brick. A house can also be covered (on the site) with brick, rock, or plaster, which makes the walls up to 30 cm thick.
- All the materials are ecologically safe
-
- Modular Houses can be of various styles. We can build by American styles, if a customer likes them. The most popular American styles are Colonial (2-story house), Cape Cod (a full first floor and smaller rooms on the second floor), and Ranch (one-story house). But we can also make traditional European design, that most Russian people are familiar with already.
-
- Each style can be represented by various sizes and floor plans, this fact being one of advantages of the Modular technology. The maximum sizes of modules should not exceed 16 feet in width, 66 feet in length, 13.5 feet in height, to be able to be transported under bridges, the height also including the height of a truck carrying the module to the site.
-The proposed project envisages constructing of a model house so that potential customers could see what a finished house will look like. If a customer doesn’t like something about the model house, he/she can ask for changes, for instance, for a bigger size of the kitchen. The change is shown on the paper drawing, and then on a computer drawing. The computer program allows creating a detailed picture of the house the customer wants.
- Modular houses are 20 % more durable than houses built on site, and can serve up to 100 years;
- Modular Houses are reliably protected against heat (+50) and cold (-50), for which they were awarded the rating Energy Star
A Modular House is easily transported over the highways to 800 km and are built to withstand the various road conditions
- A Modular House is cheaper than a “Site Built” house. Modular Houses are highly resistant to earthquakes
- Modular Houses have excellent noise insulation
We can make modular houses with an autonomous system of water supply, sewage, and heating
- The chances for the success of this plant are very high because of the new Mortgage Programs being offered, a high demand for better quality housing and a higher disposable income for the people.
When housing orders are placed, we can build and deliver the houses within a 4- (four) week period
On the average, it takes 1 to 2 days to build each house inside the plant and larger houses such as two story homes will take 3 to 4 days.
At full production we are able to build 250 houses per year. We are projecting our first years sales based on 150 houses.
The sales for the 2nd year can increase to 300 houses per year and for the 3rd year in production we see a market for a minimum of 500 houses per year. These sales are based on using one production line that is capable of building 250 houses per year
When the second line is added, these figures can double for the same period and produce 1000 houses per year.
Our return on investment is projected at one and half years
The potential of this project is enormous, not only because of being able to provide Quality, Energy Efficient housing, but also because of using local materials and local workers. The plant will create over 30 jobs, and the suppliers and companies that work with us in the housing industry create 2 to 3 additional jobs indirectly.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT
PHASE 1 – Setting up of the plant and Training of the local personnel
PHASE 2 – Training of the local personnel and building of the first 3 houses
This training program gives the first group of employees a chance to see all of the various stages that the house goes through to be built. These workers become the Crew Chiefs and Foremen or Forewomen who help train the rest of the workers. One Employee also is trained as the Quality Control Supervisor to see that all of the work is completed as required
Lot size – 2 hectares
Width of the building – 31 m
Length – 154 m
Height – 9.1 m
Shape: square, or U-shape, or L-shape
Floor – level and smooth
STATION #4 INTERIOR FINISH WORK
The total kw/h /month estimated to be 260 to 270 thousand. The water usage estimated at 24,000 to 25,000 GAL per month
Sections (modules) of the house are moved from station to station
