Creating innovative modular design
DuBox is the perfect model. Modern digital (virtual design) planning ensures efficiency and ease of management over the buildings lifetime that won’t cost the earth.
Modular Construction
Modular Construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under controlled plant conditions using the same materials and designing to the same code and standards as conventional built facilities.
In half the time.
Modular Design for a modern world
Designing in a modular mind-set means that all architectural, structural and mechanical design processes occur at the same time since ‘modules’ are parts of an entire building. Buildings are designed in an end-to-end Building Information Management (BIM) ecosystem using Revit, Tekla and Etabs technology platforms. The advantage is a single point of resource of information allowing all design disciplines to work together effectively. Buildings are virtually tested, enabling asset managers to evaluate building performance prior to manufacturing and construction. Virtual design allows Developer Teams, Asset Managers, Operators to work with their consultants collectively to deliver optimally performing assets.
Modular Manufacturing that makes sense
Building off site ensures better construction quality management. Materials are delivered to the plant location in a controlled environment, while wastage is minimised. Manufacturing plants have stringent Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) programs with independent inspection and testing protocols that promote superior quality of construction every step of the way. Modules are snagged and signed off prior to leaving the plant to building sites.
Modular Construction that’s efficient in every way
Buildings are produced in “modules” that when put together on site, reflect the identical design intent and specifications of the most sophisticated site-built facility — without compromise. Structurally, modular buildings are generally stronger than conventional construction because each module is engineered to independently withstand the rigours of transportation and installation onto foundations. Once together and sealed, the modules become one integrated wall, floor and roof assembly.
Strength Throughout
Dubox provides turnkey solutions to real estate developer sand investors in the Middle East. We are focused on delivering modular construction solutions in concrete. Here are some of the sectors we work in …
-
Residential
DuBox enables the development of large and mid-scale Master planned and residential communities in the region. Modular solutions are well suited to low-rise residential development including multifamily housing to townhouses and villa developments. Our “On Demand” model enables developers the opportunity to test and grow their developments in a rapid deployment methodology. Villas are typically built in modules that are assembled individually in a room-by-room format and transported to a location where villas are assembled and completed on site in a short number of days, typically in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on complexity. DuBox is well suited to mid-to-large scale communities with repeatable and scalable concepts. We are flexible on design options and will cater for a mid to high-end property range.
-
Hospitality
Our Hospitality offer ranges from low-rise hotel development to standardised economy and budget hotels through to staff accommodation projects for clients. Our specialty lies in delivering consistent quality finished rooms in a standardised manner. We are ideally suited to develop standard operator modules that can be replicated across properties throughout the region. Investors in the hospitality sector can rest-assured their assets are of the highest quality with all structures built out of 100% concrete.
-
Retail
From Box Parks to stand-alone retail units as well as mixed use residential and retail communities, DuBox offers a multitude of solutions to Developers in ground floor and G+1 retail requirements. Standalone repeatable retail units across the region, such as with fast food operators, DuBox can offer a standardised look and feel in brand consistency.
-
Healthcare
Regional advances in the medical sector are moving at a rapid rate with hospital and clinic demand outgrowing supply. Typical build times run in 3 to 5 year cycles. DuBox provides complete concrete structures, manufactured offsite in a quality controlled environment. Buildings are designed to the highest specifications and hygiene standards to accommodate complex MEP work and advanced medical equipment. Our methodologies allow healthcare development teams to work in parallel streams, with design and medical programs running simultaneously; building quality is determined from the outset, tested and snagged within a factory environment prior to site delivery. Development teams can move from design to finished structures in up to 40% of the time of standard industry norms. Teams can therefore be deployed on projects for shorter times to concentrate on satisfying market demand. Hospital and clinic expansion plans can be deployed without disturbing patients and existing facilities.
-
Corporate
Our capabilities extend to corporate needs of owners and investors, providing low-rise office, campus or accommodation needs across a wide spectrum of requirements. Corporations can entrust DuBox in their growth plans, delivering buildings and extensions in a timely manner to respond to demand growth. As a partner, DuBox is able to design and duplicate built structures in a standard format with consistent quality.
-
Education
Modular solutions are well suited to schools and universities. Regional demand in the sector is at an all-time high with developers under pressure to deliver educational institutions in new neighbourhoods. DuBox’s capabilities in this area allow architects and developers to develop a structured model which is scalable according to student population growth. New additions to institutions can be added safely and quietly with minimal disturbance to existing operations. DuBox’s strict quality controls, material management and finishing ensure the highest quality buildings for school operators. We build schools in modules that are assembled individually in a room-by-room format, with complete MEP and interior fit-outs then transported to location where modules are installed and commissioned on site, typically in 1 to 2 weeks, depending on complexity. DuBox will cater to the mid-to-large scale education programs with repeatable and scalable concepts.
