Volumetric
modules are box-like building
segments that are manufactured
in the factory. Almost any building
can be divided at its designing
stage into parts, i.e. volumetric
modules, of dimensions and weight
enabling their shipment to the
site on lorry trucks, and the
subsequent erection on site
with the use of a truck-mounted
crane.
Under the "Free-Dom"
system, the volumetric modules
are finished in the production
facility on a turnkey basis,
that is complete with elevations,
roof decking, windows and doors,
flooring, painted or wallpaper
covered walls, tile glazing,
as well as furnished with water
mixers, bathtubs, wash basins,
and even kitchen furniture and
built-in wardrobes. The modules
are also provided with all necessary
internal services and systems:
water supply, sewage, electrical,
ventilation, air-conditioning,
plus the related equipment and
fittings. Volumetric modules
have repeatable structural solutions.
The process of module fabrication
takes place on a production
line in the factory. Only building
foundations and basements are
made on site. Such a high degree
of prefabrication causes that
the erection of the building
on an earlier made foundation
is simple and short, and can
be completed within 1-4 weeks.
Once erected and connected to
the utility networks, the building
can instantly be used. Volumetric
modules under the "Free-Dom"
system are connected by means
of special, multiple-use joints
and bolted connectors, thus
the building can be disassembled,
its modules moved to another
place, and erected again. During
the design life period of the
building that amounts to at
least 60 years, such changes
can take place many times. However,
the economically justified cycle
of such changes is 10-20 years.
BUMA offers volumetric modules
with lightweight clay aggregate
walls, or with light steel frame
walls.
The "Free-Dom"
buildings by Buma Building System
have considerably better functional
parameters and a much better
quality than those, constructed
in the traditional way. BUMA
manufactures "Free-Dom"
buildings to individual orders,
collaborating with local design
offices indicated by Investors.
BUMA also offers proprietary
buildings, with ready-made designs.
