The Algeco range

What are the advantages of a modular building?

Yes, Algeco structures have the same qualities as traditional buildings.

Hire or buy?

Both options are possible. Discuss the possibilities with our sales team

Feasibility of a modular construction

Is a crane required to install a module?

Sometimes an assembly or a storey requires a crane. For this purpose, a project leader will visit your site.
A monoblock module can be taken off the lorry in no time.

Does a modular construction need foundations?

Foundations are only required for stacked modules and on poor quality terrain.
We do provide foundation tiles as standard with every request.

How do I now whether my site is suitable for a module?

Do you have doubts about accessibility? An Algeco advisor can visit the site. Contact us.

Do I have to apply for a permit?

This differs for each type of housing and municipality. Based on your plans, always check with your municipality whether you need a permit. Naturally, we will be happy to advise you personally.

Advance units can be stacked up to 2 storeys. With Origin units, depending on the type, this is 3 to 4 storeys. Progress units can be stacked up to 2 storeys on top of each other.

Algeco offers all of the safety guarantees and complies with the technical standards in force. 

Are the buildings insured?

When you hire an Algeco building, it is always compulsory to take out an Algeco Damage Waiver. This covers break-ins, graffiti and more.
