Questions and answers

Residential: dormitories, shift camps, modular hotels and social housing. Construction: site villages, welfare units, offices and site headquarters, changing rooms, washrooms and showers.

Healthcare and social: rural health posts, outpatient units, schools, kindergartens, libraries and teaching blocks. Commercial: offices, customer areas, cafés, shops and glamping units.

Industrial and logistics: warehouses, amenity blocks, control rooms and laboratories. Infrastructure: bus stations, terminal modules, sanitary blocks and temporary accommodation points.

We are responsible for the design, manufacturing and installation of the modular building within its envelope: the building structure, additional steelwork and the engineering services.

Work outside the envelope (external networks, landscaping, access roads) is agreed separately for each project.

Standard site cabins and containers are temporary lightweight structures. PEGAS ECO modular buildings are engineered facilities with load, durability and fire safety calculations, a proper foundation, full engineering systems and a service life of at least 50 years.

They can still be dismantled and re-erected without loss of performance.

The price depends on the region of operation, the layout, the scope of engineering services, additional external and internal finishes, and fire resistance and energy efficiency requirements.

A precise figure follows once the brief is clarified, send us an enquiry and we will prepare a costing.

Our structural system supports buildings of up to three storeys. The exact number is confirmed by calculation, taking loads and fire safety requirements into account.

Modular buildings can achieve fire resistance classes III, IV and V. The higher the requirement, the more fire-resistant the materials and structures used, and the longer the structure retains its load-bearing capacity.

The classification is set out in Federal Law No. 123-FZ, the Technical Regulation on Fire Safety Requirements.

We build shift camps above the Arctic Circle. For a comfortable indoor climate we use insulation up to 200 mm thick, rated for ambient temperatures down to −60 °C.

Any finish is possible provided it is mounted on a sub-frame: planken, metal siding, façade cassettes or decorative stone. As standard we use sheet-steel trim covering module joints, the plinth and the eaves.

Applied finishes such as render or concrete are not recommended: modules have natural movement, and such finishes can crack.

Yes. Glazing dimensions are agreed in advance, after which the required set of embedded structural elements is specified.

Yes, though part of the adjacent module will be needed to provide the required fire escape route to the stairs.

Under SNiP 2.08.02–89 the calculation depends on the building type: six people per fixture for dormitories and hotels, ten for amenity buildings and canteens.

For a standalone module: technical passport, assembly instructions, operating instructions and an installation drawing.

For a modular building: the building passport, copies of certificates for materials and equipment, two sets of the detailed design packages, and (at the client’s request) as-built documentation and electrical test records.

A modular building can be either temporary or permanent. To be classified as permanent it requires: stage “P” design documentation, expert review and a construction permit, stage “R” detailed documentation, and registration with Rostekhnadzor.

This is followed by construction to the approved design, commissioning, preparation of as-built documentation and formal acceptance into operation.

Temporary buildings require neither expert review nor formal commissioning. Permanent buildings are exempt if they are no more than two storeys and 1,500 m², or consist of no more than ten blocks each intended for a single family.

The basis is clause 2, article 49 of the Russian Town Planning Code.

For container-based buildings that are not classified as permanent construction, no such registration is required. For permanent facilities the standard procedure applies.

Every building has its own climate conditions, layout, service connections and colour scheme. Construction works are carried out to documentation that relates to that specific building in that specific region.

Code of practice SP 48.13330 “Organisation of construction” explicitly requires works to be carried out in accordance with design, detailed and construction-method documentation.

A single module takes roughly four to six hours to install. A building of about 300 m² is assembled in ten to fourteen days.

Overall construction time is two to three times shorter than with conventional technology, thanks to high factory completion and the absence of wet trades.

Room layout; preparation and approval of detailed design packages (architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire alarm and security); manufacturing and procurement of equipment and services; logistics; installation; commissioning.

Yes. The structural scheme allows the building to be dismantled and re-erected elsewhere without loss of performance, useful for shift camps, field facilities and construction sites.

Maintenance is recommended at least annually, ideally before the winter and summer seasons: inspection of façades, roof and engineering systems, and cleaning of ventilation.

Design loads on floors and roof must not be exceeded, snow should be cleared promptly, and structural changes should not be made without the manufacturer’s agreement.

Yes. With the right structure, insulation and engineering systems, modular buildings serve as fully permanent housing, from individual homes to hotel complexes.

Correct thermal, ventilation and acoustic calculations and adherence to operating requirements are essential.

No. PEGAS ECO modular buildings fall into the category of mass-construction buildings in normal operating conditions, with a design service life from 10 to over 50 years. Foundation and structural requirements match those of conventional permanent construction.

Supervised installation means overseeing the assembly of the building. The specialist does not carry out the works themselves: they demonstrate how each stage should be done and ensure the technology is followed.
