Steel structures for bungalows and modules

STARMODUL SYSTEM

Bungalows with a bolted metal frame

The StarModul system organizes the main structure using profiles and mechanical connections. Components can be pre-assembled to facilitate orderly installation and to ensure that the exterior walls, roof, insulation, and finishes are properly coordinated.

Structure designed and sized for each project.
StarModul mechanical connections at compatible joints.
Preparation of profiles and components.
Modular system adaptable to different layouts.

Various Applications

Solutions for housing, auxiliary modules, rural facilities, and service buildings.

APPLICATIONS

Structures for bungalows, hostels, and auxiliary buildings

With StarModul we build the structure of bungalows, cabins, hostels, warehouses, sheds and auxiliary buildings. Each structure is calculated for the project and the site.

BUNGALOWS

Habitable modules and prefabricated bungalows

The metal structure can be used as a sturdy foundation for living modules, coordinating the interior layout with the facades, insulation, roof, and finishes.

Flexible interior layouts.
One or more modular units.
Openings prepared for doors and windows.
Enclosure solutions customized for each project.

HOSTELS AND LODGING

Modular Structures for Shelters and Lodging Facilities

In collective housing projects, a modular structure can be considered to organize rooms, common areas, restrooms, and service spaces within a single layout.

Rooms and common areas.
Service and storage areas.
Modular, phased configuration.
Sizing is determined based on specific use and loads.

AUXILIARY BUILDINGS

Service modules, warehouses , and light-frame structures

The system can also be considered for small auxiliary buildings where a prefabricated modular metal structure assembled using bolted connections is desired.

Warehouses and technical sheds.
Services for campgrounds or resorts.
Sheds and small shelters.
Modules for rural or agricultural activities.

CONSTRUCTION SOLUTION

How Is the Metal Frame Integrated Into a Bungalow?

2 · Enclosures

Facades and partitions are designed to work in conjunction with the structure and the required level of insulation.

3 · Cover

The roof geometry and slopes are determined based on the design, climate, and construction method.

4 · Assembly

The prepared components are labeled to facilitate layout, assembly, and on-site inspection.

PRICE

How much does the frame of a bungalow or cabin cost?

The price depends mainly on the size and on what you want to include. The galvanised steel tube frame is assembled with bolted joints and can be extended later by adding modules.

In the shop there are priced structure kits for 3×3 and 6×3 m modules, with 5×5 or 10×10 cm tube. For other sizes, use the 3D configurator or ask us for a quote.

What matters most:

Floor area and height.
The roof: flat, single-slope or gable.
Sandwich panel cladding (we do not supply doors or windows).
Transport and assembly, or just the kit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions About Metal Structures for Bungalows

What is a metal-frame bungalow?

It is a lightweight module or building whose primary load-bearing structure is constructed using steel profiles. In StarModul, compatible joints are connected using bolted connections, and the structure is designed specifically for each project.

Does a StarModul bungalow need a foundation?

The foundation or support system depends on the soil conditions, loads, geometry, and applicable codes. A standard solution should not be determined without first reviewing the project and site conditions.

Can a bungalow be expanded in the future?

Modularity can facilitate future expansions when the original structure, the new geometry, and the structural analysis allow for the incorporation of new modules or elements.

Do StarModul joints eliminate the need for on-site welding?

Joints created using the StarModul system are assembled using mechanical connections and fasteners, eliminating the need for welding at these joints during installation. The project may include other structural elements that require specific solutions.

What information do you need to appraise a bungalow?

It is helpful to have approximate dimensions, location, intended use, layout, heights, roof type, and, if available, plans or sketches. With this information, the initial configuration can be better assessed.
