![]() From design to completion, the entire project took only two years. The resulting structure is the tallest modular building in the Netherlands, and it was manufactured in just 5 months, with only 3.5 months spent on-site. In September 2016, Ursem put its modular method to work with the FIZZ Spartaan Amsterdam West project - a one-of-a-kind, 16-story building designed to house 361 student apartments. This means all we have to do at the job site is stack the systems and make the connections. At Ursem, we assemble everything in the factory before transporting. “Prefab and modular both come with a lot of benefits, and a lot of people think of them as the same thing, but we see prefab as manufacturing parts of a structure off-site and then assembling on-site. The building systems company found its success through modular - a design and construction method that, despite common misconceptions, is different from prefab, according to Mercks. That’s where modular comes in.”Īt Ursem, the transition from traditional construction methods to higher quality, lower-cost structures is what their business is built on. ![]() “Over the last few years, our customers have become more and more invested in building alternatives that are not only less costly, but also better for the environment. ![]() “Since the second world war, the housing prices have been very high in Europe, and we also have the problem of CO2 and nitrogen emissions,” says Danny Mercks, technical designer at Netherlands-based Ursem.
