This concept harmoniously combines the advantages of prefabricated factory-built wall and ceiling panels made of wood or galvanized steel, specially insulated and delivered with installations included, with very high on-site assembly speed. These constructions can be fully assembled and dismantled for the recovery and reuse of sub-assemblies.
Factory productivity, fast assembly, and the use of modern structural container transport systems make these constructions a distinct niche market. They can be passive, active, or intelligent houses, depending on the customer’s requirements, at prices below the market average for masonry or reinforced concrete structures, while maintaining the same hygro-thermal, soundproofing, and lifespan standards.
These houses also offer a major advantage: they can be fully relocated at minimal cost, mainly transport-related, when moved to another site. This is made possible by applying modern technical solutions, structural design, and state-of-the-art materials.
Cube Is Available in Three Versions

Model Cube B2 – 72 sqm max
Mobile individual dwelling, gabaritic, from 55 to 72 sqm and above.
Model B 72 sqm+, extendable with up to 10 sqm more through additional expansion kits for bathroom, kitchen, or stairwell functions.
2 x B72 + 10. Duplex of two modules resulting in a 164 sqm dwelling. The upper floor can later be relocated independently if needed.

2 x B72 sqm arranged as a 142 sqm duplex. |
2 x B72 ground floor. |
For ground floor and ground floor plus one storey structures, the special foundation on screw piles can also be recovered. When utility connections are available on site, the time required to bring the building into use is much shorter than for classic brick and reinforced concrete construction.
The production of factory-modelled and machined prefabricated units that can be joined in different sizes makes assembly ultra-fast.
Comments
- The length of a module can be 10, 15, 20, 30, or 40 feet, and successful architectural shapes can be designed accordingly.
- The adoption of new technologies for lightweight materials, approved at European level in collaboration with external partners, increases quality and economic efficiency, including through PLASTBAU technology.

Model Cube B3 – 108 sqm max
Extendible utility units up to 108 sqm, with diverse functionality for seasonal utilities, commercial spaces, restaurants, canteens, conference rooms, temporary administrative offices, medical care spaces, field hospitals, and more.
Field Hospital Units
- An extended module reaches up to 108 sqm.
- It starts from a special transport module of 14.8 sqm, extendable up to 108 sqm.
- One extensible hospital module provides a central hall of 1.8 m / 6.05 m and two wards of 5.6 m / 8.7 m.
Hospital layout of three dedicated extendible units for temporary or permanent use, with two wards per unit and a central access hallway.
The hospital building consists of three modules, two wards, and one doctor’s office, with the possibility to add kitchen, dining, and laboratory modules.

Modular School on Ground Floor
Example of a school with four classrooms in two specialized extension modules and a utility module for office, toilets, and library.
Functional school with four classrooms. Mountable, demountable, and relocatable to another site.
Ground Floor + 1 Storey Housing or Blocks of Flats
For individual or collective housing, any architectural model can be executed with the resistance structure on any residential area. Solutions can be adapted by our specialists in wood, metal, or mixed PLASTBAU systems, including thermal envelopes rated in energy audit class A.
On request, intelligent renewable energy fittings can be integrated in line with EU requirements and demanding comfort and finish standards.

Row dwellings.
Advantages of the Technical Solution
- Very high execution speeds.
- Costs at least 20% lower than an identical construction executed classically, due to factory-controlled module production, elimination of material loss, optimized transport, and improved labour productivity.
Extendible Utility Modules
- Use of the latest inventions in construction and installations, patented by Romanian inventors.
- Innovative improvements through green energy equipment, process automation, and digitization for mounting and dismantling on multiple sites.
- Minimal prices due to design efficiency and increased productivity of factory work.
- Reuse of smart multifunctional building modules across multiple locations over their lifetime, adapted to the beneficiary’s needs.
- Easy extension and folding without technical complications.
- Transport from one location to another with self-loading platforms.
- A relocatable foundation system.
- Automated folding and expanding systems that make moves fast and economical.
As an example, extendible modules can be compared to 20 ft container-space modules with a floor area of 14.8 sqm per unit. A 45 sqm extendible module is transported at approximately three times the price/sqm ratio: 14.8 / 45 = 0.329.
The high degree of energy independence and the environmentally friendly sanitary units in smart multi-purpose buildings contribute to environmental protection in remote locations while meeting demanding functional requirements.
General Technical Characteristics and Innovative Features
- Welded metal structure for the basic strength module, practical and gabaritic, forming the central core of strength during assembly, transport, handling, and operation, equipped with standardized transport corner pieces.
- Zinc-plated metal structure made of thin-walled C and U bars, cold-formed on numerically controlled machines, for extension elements, folding walls, ceilings, floors, and A- or B-type systems.
- Evolved thermal protection through alternating layers of conductive and radiative protection materials, achieving at least 8 m2*K/W thermal resistance at a thickness of around 10 cm.
- Classic high-endurance finishes for walls and ceilings, with monolithic bi-component spraying of a highly elastic polyurethane-elastomer layer for weathering and saline environments.
Electrical Installations and Functional Fittings
The system contains all necessary modern equipment, including an electric meter with overheating protection, automatic fuses, a hidden indoor electrical network protected by fireproof tubes, socket networks according to function, economical lighting, electric heating fixtures, and flat infrared radiant panels.
A photovoltaic power plant can be sized according to functional needs and equipped with storage batteries for economical independent operation. Photovoltaic panels can be mounted on both the fixed and extendable ceilings. When operation is close to a conventional power grid, an external 220-volt socket can also be provided.
Automatic or Semi-Automatic Expansion Systems
Automatic or semi-automatic systems can be provided on request for easy expansion by personnel following a simple instruction protocol, without specialized training.
Sanitary Installations
Bathroom and kitchen plumbing can be dual, combining classic and environmentally friendly solutions through innovative adaptation to site conditions.
Smart Consumption
On request, electrical consumers can be monitored and governed by a central digitized unit for consumption monitoring and optimization, correlated with the battery charge level based on system sensors.
