Overview
Overview
We produce, supply, and customise nearly anything to your specification. The Office and Living family is the broad set of cabins that crews actually live and work in, and within one envelope we supply the full type taxonomy: single and open-plan offices; multi-module and two-storey complexes; accommodation and sleeping units; en-suite living; canteen and kitchen units; meeting units; guard houses; reception and booth units; and changing rooms. Whatever the brief, the same line builds it.
The base unit is a single 20 ft footprint built around an EN 1090-1 EXC2 steel frame with PIR sandwich panel walls and roof. Each type is reached by changing the internal layout, the window and door positions, and the services package, not by changing the core shell. Office and Living cabins are designed to stack and join: two cabins can be combined laterally by removing a long-wall panel and dressing the join, or vertically into a two-storey block on the same forged corner castings used on our ISO Standard production line. That is how a single office becomes a multi-module complex, an open-plan canteen, or a two-floor staff accommodation block.
Every unit is cut, welded, blasted, painted and fitted out in our hall in Bánovce nad Bebravou. The welding line runs under EN ISO 3834-2 production-level qualification, which feeds the EN 1090-1 EXC2 chain. The fit-out cell handles the electrical, HVAC, plumbing rough-in and internal cladding before the unit leaves the building.

Construction and materials
Frame
hot-rolled steel, EXC2 to EN 1090-1, welded to EN ISO 3834-2. Eight forged ISO 1CC corner castings per unit for crane lifting, stacking and lashing.
Walls
PIR sandwich panel, typically 80 mm core, steel skin both faces. Thermal conductivity in the 0.022 to 0.023 W/(m·K) band, which gives a typical wall U-value around 0.28 W/(m²·K).
Roof
PIR sandwich panel, typically 100 mm core, sealed perimeter and central drain to corner downpipes. Roof U-value around 0.22 W/(m²·K).
Floor
hot-rolled steel cross members on the base frame, 100 mm mineral wool or PIR core, 22 mm OSB or 19 mm plywood substrate, vinyl or laminate finish on request.
Internal cladding
white melamine-faced board or laminated steel sheet, selectable per face.
Doors
external steel personnel door with multi-point lock, EPDM gasket, drip rail and aluminium threshold. Internal doors are hollow-core to standard interior spec.
Windows
double-glazed PVC frame, tilt-and-turn, integrated roller shutters on request. Bars and laminated glass for high-security variants.
Paint
surface prepared to ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 in our blast booth. Two-coat C3 system to EN ISO 12944. Standard livery RAL 7016 anthracite or RAL 5010 gentian blue. Any RAL code on request.
Specifications
Dimensions and tolerances
Dimensional checks are taken on the FARO Arm Prime 10 in our QA area before paint. The custom envelope band is the range we have produced. Outside that range we run a project review before quoting.
