Monolithic seamless volumetric modular construction is the ultimate 3D modular construction process.

GPS 3D Modular’s Objective

According to McKinsey & Company, volumetric modular construction projects are completed up to 50% faster than conventional, on-site construction.

GPS 3D Modular is a proven volumetric modular construction methodology that allows developers to achieve tighter controls on construction and development costs while controlling inventory shortfalls, improving quality, and minimizing project delivery time. Green and environmentally responsible practices can be built into the process.

How We Do It

Unlike other systems, GPS 3D Modular, with its own proprietary intellectual property, can create a fully integrated and seamless, ‘5 panels in 1’ concrete construction module. These modules are poured complete with window and door frames as well as electrical and plumbing conduits already inlaid. They also come ‘fair face’ finished, ready to receive paint. Insulation is always included, and modules can be adjusted for size and location of windows and doors. The result is a volumetric seamless module that contains the main components of a structure – the walls and ceiling or walls and floor. These monolithic 3D modules can then be arranged and stacked as rooms to produce a self supporting building structure, up to ten stories high. The amount of internal ‘fit out’ for kitchens and bathrooms, etc, is dependent on the client’s needs.

The GPS 3D Modular system is ideal for homes or building projects from high end apartments to low end villas. The system is also ideal for, hotels and motels, labour camps, housing units, aged-care villas and student accommodation. Furthermore, the system easily caters for site offices, industrial buildings, school and hospitals. All of these are constructed to the highest environmental specifications.

The Results

GPS 3D can individually create classic or contemporary home designs as well as offering its own suite of home and building designs to enhance ‘quality of life’ and provide innovative lifestyle options. The GPS 3D team works closely with developers, architects, and clients to create a portfolio of designs suited to client needs. These designs always best leverage GPS 3D construction. Homes can be delivered and occupied by a client in two to twelve weeks. When viewing a completed home, the GPS 3D method of construction is indistinguishable from traditional methods.

To conceptualize the end result we apply Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a collaborative process that allows architects, engineers, developers, and other construction professionals to plan, design, and construct a structure or building.

The Benefits

GPS 3D’s unique techniques deliver the needs and solutions required by architects, home occupiers and commercial clients. This applies over the life span of a building including future extensions. Some removal of internal and external walls is even possible, subject to local building approval.

GPS 3D Modular exceeds the highest expectations on:

• Cost for value
• Time of construction
• Maintenance
• Life span
• Energy efficiency
• Acoustic properties
• Insulation
• Durability
• Renewable energy
• Sustainability
• Flexibility (style and expansion)
• Ease of construction
• Less labour – (freeing up labor)
• Less skilled labour
• Less site disruptions
• Smart alternative green solutions

PPVC

‘Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction’ (PPVC).

The GPS 3D modular process can be described as a Modern Method of Construction (MMC), of the ‘Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction’ (PPVC) type.

GPS 3D methodology is a paradigm shift from low to high technology, suited to both large and small construction builds. Application ranges from the family home to apartments, resorts, schools, hotels, resorts, motels, shelters and hospitals.
