From down under MHProNews has learned Australian companies Elenberger Fraser and Unitised Building have developed a residential, modular building system suitable for a skyscraper as well as a stylish single-family home. According to gizmag.com, in order to eliminate waste, the dimensions of the prefab building blocks, termed Klik, take into account measurements for floor tiles and wall panels, thereby eliminating to some extent the traditional design stage. The four components are specifying size and shape of the building—linear, square, skyscraper, L-shape, H- shape, C-shape, or a combination; choosing from 15 layouts of one, two, and three-bedroom units; selecting the interior finish from two color schemes and three degrees of opulence; and finally, choosing the facade from linear glass, expressed glass, or external sunshade. Although the designers state the Klik modular system allows for prices to be fixed early in the process, none were immediately available.
