Modulous is creating a technology-enabled construction process aiming to build high quality affordable, sustainable homes at pace and scale in the UK and then roll this out around the world.Modulous has developed a highly engineered physical Kit of Parts from modular sub-assemblies delivered just in time and just in sequence by a network of established construction material suppliers. This enables Modulous to facilitate the building of high quality modular homes without building a factory, creating a revolutionary low capex model for the modular building industry. The Kit of Parts development will be commercialized from June 2021 as part of our initial pilot projects, and early in 2022, people will be living in Modulous homes.In parallel with this physical product development, Modulous is now creating a software product to revolutionise the way in which residential housing schemes are designed. This new project aims to develop a digital design platform based on the physical Kit of Parts to support high speed design, engineering and project costing. Basing generative design on a precision engineered Kit of Parts, ingesting data on local building codes, land topography and building in specialised design engineering inputs, this software will allow land owners to create accurate property development scheme appraisals in seconds and at minimal cost.This will unlock huge amounts of marginal land for development, and it will completely change the risk / reward dynamics around property development. The upshot of this will be that more affordable housing will be built, and using the Modulous approach, it will be better quality, more sustainable, less impactful on the local environment and cheaper.With this software tool driving the design process and with the physical product revolutionising the construction process downstream, Modulous will enable third parties to assemble modules and local companies to deliver these homes without having their own factory. In turn, by reducing the capital requirement, funding and time to build these homes at an affordable price, this will enable modular housing to make the step change required to start to solve the housing crisis.

Modulous正在创建一个技术支持的建筑过程，旨在在英国以速度和规模建造高质量、负担得起、可持续的房屋，然后在世界各地推广。Modulous开发了一个高度工程化的物理部件套件，由成熟的建筑材料供应商网络及时按顺序交付的模块化子组件组成。这使得Modulous能够在不建造工厂的情况下建造高质量的模块化住宅，为模块化建筑行业创造了革命性的低资本支出模式。作为我们最初试点项目的一部分，套件开发将从2021年6月开始商业化，到2022年初，人们将生活在Modulous住宅中。在开发物理产品的同时，Modulous现在正在开发一种软件产品，以彻底改变住宅房屋方案的设计方式。这个新项目旨在开发一个基于物理零件套件的数字设计平台，以支持高速设计，工程和项目成本。该软件基于精密工程套件的生成式设计，将当地建筑法规、土地地形和建筑物的数据融入专业设计工程输入，使土地所有者能够以最低的成本在几秒钟内创建准确的房地产开发方案评估，这将释放大量的边际土地用于开发，并将彻底改变房地产开发的风险/回报动态。这样做的结果将是建造更多的经济适用房，使用Modulous方法，它将更好的质量，更可持续，对当地环境的影响更小，更便宜。随着这个软件工具推动设计过程，物理产品革命性地改变下游的施工过程，Modulous将使第三方能够组装模块，并使当地公司能够在没有自己工厂的情况下交付这些房屋。反过来，通过减少以可承受的价格建造这些房屋的资本要求、资金和时间，这将使模块化住房能够做出开始解决住房危机所需的步骤改变。
