Industrial Construction Methodology

How It Works: 6-Stage Turnkey Modular Process

From initial plot feasibility and BIM permit modeling to factory precision fabrication, European export logistics, and rapid crane erection.

01

Feasibility, Plot Assessment & Budget Framework

1 - 2 Weeks

We analyze your cadastral data, zoning parameters, soil bearings, and transport route clearances. We establish a preliminary module matrix and realistic turnkey investment estimate.

Key Deliverable: Preliminary Feasibility Brief & Indicative BoQ
02

Architectural Design, BIM & Building Permit Filing

4 - 8 Weeks

The SERMODULA Architectural & BIM Engineering Studio models the full project in LOD 350-400 OpenBIM. We collaborate with local engineers to produce Eurocode-compliant structural and MEP permit packs.

Key Deliverable: BIM Execution Model & Approved Permit Dossier
03

Precision Off-Site Manufacturing & Factory Testing (FAT)

6 - 10 Weeks

Modules are assembled in robotic jigs under strict EN 1090-2 execution standards. Steel framing, rockwool insulation, triple glazing, and MEP circuits undergo 7-gate ITP quality control and pressure testing.

Key Deliverable: Factory Acceptance Certificate & As-Built QR Dossier
04

International Export Logistics & Customs Clearance

1 - 2 Weeks

Wrapped in heavy-duty weatherproof shrink-film, modules travel via intermodal road and short-sea routes. All ATR, EUR.1, and customs transit declarations are managed end-to-end.

Key Deliverable: Customs Clearance Release & Transit Tracking
05

Rapid On-Site Crane Erection & Structural Locking

2 - 5 Days

Rigging specialists hoist and anchor 6 to 10 volumetric units per working day onto verified foundations. High-strength bolts lock the nodes, while EPDM gaskets form an airtight and watertight building seal.

Key Deliverable: Weathertight Structural Shell & Joint Torque Report
06

MEP Hook-Ups, Final Commissioning & 10-Year Warranty

1 - 2 Weeks

Internal quick-connect lines are coupled to utility networks. Acoustic party trims are sealed. A formal handover protocol is signed, issuing the building warranty certificate and operation handbook.

Key Deliverable: Turnkey Handover Certificate & 10-Year Structural Warranty

Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time does the full modular process save compared to traditional construction?
Between 50% to 70%. Because groundworks on site and module manufacturing in the factory occur simultaneously, overall delivery is achieved in 3 to 5 months rather than 14 to 20 months.
Who manages local permits in destination countries?
SERMODULA provides the complete BIM architectural, structural, and MEP engineering calculation dossier. A local registered architect or engineer of record submits the package to the municipal planning authority.
What happens if crane access is limited on our site?
During Stage 01 feasibility, we inspect road clearance, street trees, and power lines. If a large mobile crane cannot operate, we configure smaller volumetric dimensions or combine panelized hybrid modules.
Can we visit the factory during production?
Yes. Clients are welcome at our Istanbul manufacturing plant to witness milestone hold-points (ITP), verify fit-out finishes, and attend Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT).
When do payment milestones occur?
Payments are split across clear deliverables: Engineering Deposit, Material Procurement, Factory Release (FAT sign-off), and Final On-Site Commissioning.
