Prefab and modular design for Chennai: architect-designed, factory-built, assembled on your plot.
Modular construction in Chennai, designed by our architects and built in a partner factory, then assembled on your plot. A prefabricated house or steel frame house design makes sense when speed matters, when the structure below can only take a light load — like a rooftop room — or when the site is remote or temporary.
Light steel adds far less load than an RCC floor, which makes it the usual way to add a room on an older house. A structural check of the existing building always comes first.
RT-01
Rooftop room on existing house Chennai
A bedroom, office or studio added on your terrace with minimal disruption below.
RT-02
Lightweight additional floor
A full upper floor in light steel where an RCC floor would be too heavy.
RT-03
LGSF terrace room
Factory-cut frame bolted together on the terrace in days, then insulated and finished.
RT-04
Prefab penthouse on old house
A light, well-insulated top floor that turns an old terrace into living space.

Coastal & cyclone detailing
Prefab houses for coastal Chennai.
Sea air corrodes steel and cyclones test every fixing — Chennai saw that with Cyclone Vardah in 2016. We detail prefab buildings for both.
CD-01
Corrosion-resistant steel frame
Galvanised or coated framing and fasteners for homes near the sea.
CD-02
Cyclone-resistant prefab
Frames anchored to the foundation and braced for cyclone winds.
CD-03
Roof sheet fixing
Closely spaced, sealed fixings so roof sheets stay down in high wind.
CD-04
Monsoon drainage
Gutters, downpipes and raised plinths that keep water away from the frame.
We give a fixed quote from your plot, size and specification — frame, walls, finishes and services. No per-square-foot figure.
Yes, when they are detailed for it. We specify galvanised or coated framing near the sea, anchor the frame to the foundation for cyclone winds, fix roof sheets securely and plan drainage for the monsoon.
A permanent prefab house is generally treated like any other building and needs planning approval. This is indicative only — confirm with a COA-registered architect for your plot.
LGSF is light, fast and suits rooftop additions, remote sites and single-storey or two-storey homes. RCC is heavier and slower but familiar to every contractor and better for taller buildings. We recommend after looking at your plot and brief.
Typically 6–9 weeks from approved factory drawings to handover for a home, depending on size and finishes. Foundations are built on site while the frame is fabricated.
Standard road-transportable modules are up to 3.2 m wide, 4 m high and 12 m long. We plan the layout around these limits and check the access road width and turning radius at your site.
Usually a light RCC plinth beam or screw-pile foundation, sized to the module loads and your soil report. It is smaller and faster than a conventional footing system.
Often, yes. Light steel adds far less load than an RCC room, but a structural check of the existing house comes first. If the slab and columns need help, we design the strengthening before the room goes up.
