Technology Applications and Advancements
The Aloha Block Module technology and process is derived from mature manufacturing and supply chains that already provide a parallel industry with on average two million similar sized units per year.
Structure
The Aloha Block Module is made of High Tensile corrosion resistant steel, the walls, floors and roof construction insulated in excess of current building regulations for sound and thermal performance.
The base units for the system are a range of self-supporting modules, available in a variety of dimensions. The modules are designed to stack in several configurations to allow almost limitless combinations. The sizes available allow designers to lock, or nest modules: the greater the quantity being nested, the greater the strength and stability of the resulting structure. The potential for multi-storey stacking is currently 6 storeys but is capable of over 20 storeys.
Assembling
Assembling is simple, fast, safe and on standard foundation systems. The design allows for rapid erection with low-tech, fail safe locking mechanisms. The units are completely weatherproof so that interiors remain protected throughout the assembly process. Modules can also be fully fitted out before arrival on site.
Cladding
The resulting structure provides support for external and common parts, such as cladding, roof systems, stairwells, corridors, balconies, communal spaces and so on. A system of standard construction industry connections allow interconnecting components and fittings to interface with foundations, cladding systems, roofing, balconies and corridor units are compatible for a perfect fit. The Aloha Block Module is compatible with current cladding support technology such as brick support and cladding rails.
Internal Fittings & Fixtures
The Aloha Block Module is supplied insulated and lined ready for fit out to the customers requirements.

What is Modular Construction?
What is Modular Construction?
The term 'Modular Construction' is used where a building is assembled from a series of volumetric steel modules, linked together to form a complete structure.
The modules, which are manufactured and finished (or partially finished) off-site, under factory conditions, are then transported to the building site and lifted on to pre-prepared foundations. The building is then connected to services and the exterior of the building dressed with Cladding and Roofing.
Modular construction is a more environmentally friendly method of construction than traditional techniques: minimal foundations are required and both modules and foundations can be prepared simultaneously, cutting construction times significantly.
Importantly, as modules are produced under factory conditions, the likelihood of defects is minimised and better quality control is achieved. While modular construction borrows techniques from the manufacturing industry, the end result does not look “mass produced”. Highly sophisticated structures can be produced which are easily customisable to suit individual requirements? Finishing with appropriate cladding and roofing allows the building to blend in with its surrounding environment.
