Why Mosaic Modular? Resilience, Versatility, Sustainability, Quality, Speed, Cost-efficiency and Logistics – these are the cornerstone considerations under which Mosaic Modular Limited operates.
The Mosaic Modular building system is approved by the Ministry of Public Works of the Bahamas and full insurance cover is possible - other national approvals will follow. The system has passed testing with sustained winds of 230 mph.
At the heart of our design rests our aluminium superstructure, that has incredible strength and versatility. By utilising high-spec 6005 Aluminium, we guarantee a structure that is not only extremely strong but corrosion resistant to harsh saltwater coastal conditions as well as the humid forest environment in state and national parks. Precision, laser and CNC cut holes and attachment points ensure that assembly is not only consistently accurate but easy as well. It is mold- and waterproof.
Modules can be attached in a myriad of different ways to create a suitable layout. Upright pillars are removed and support beams strengthened to enable larger open spaces when required. With current engineering, individual spaces can be a maximum of 32 feet with no internal upright supports in one direction and with no limit in the other.
The construction method and design provides for excellent energy efficiency. By utilising high efficiency light bulbs, gas cookers and high efficiency air conditioners we can keep the electrical power requirements low.
Inverter type air conditioners and LED type lighting systems will keep cooling and lighting load as low as possible. On demand gas hot water systems are recommended but solar geysers, if available, will further reduce electrical load.
Green House Gas emissions from conventional construction are far greater than in offsite, prefabricated construction. It is also true that the embedded carbon footprint in traditional house construction is also greater than in modular construction. 90% of a Mosaic Modular’s construction is done off site, meaning less environmental impact at the site, better conditions for workers, quicker construction and less construction time – all of which makes Mosaic Modular an inherently sustainable solution. The notion of Mobile Modular housing is the very notion of recycling; the units can be readily moved and reused indefinitely.
Our goal is to have as minimal footprint as possible. We will strive for this via our design philosophy, our incorporated technology, the materials we use, our fabrication processes, our employment philosophy, our transportation ethos and in the way we advise our customers to realize their vision in the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way possible.
Mosaic Modular’s DNA is such that during all stages the concepts of sustainability have been embraced.
The manufacturing of pre-engineered buildings ensures quality control.
Built in a factory, so not exposed to the elements.
Each stage of building can be quality controlled before next is started.
Better working conditions.
Underneath the exterior is an aluminium superstructure that has incredible strength and versatility.

While you do a land survey and apply for the building permit, the house is being produced. It is then delivered in about 90 days (average size, location Bahamas), ready for the final assembly stage.
Depending on accessibility and our client’s requirements, the Mosaic Modular home can be delivered in a partially assembled or in a flat pack option. The aluminium superstructure is simply bolted onto pre-prepared concrete pilings or plinths.
It takes about 2 weeks to make the house watertight. Then depending on the specification the rest of the house will be quickly finished to move into.
Less construction costs of similar traditional-built houses:
Limited waste.
Saves time and labour.
Repetitive elements.
Along with designing a stackable modular product that is resilient and flexible in its uses, Mosaic has solved many of the logistical challenges of delivering a sustainable, modular building system.
While containerized homes are easy to transport, they have too many design limitations – consistency as well as room size and height issues are probably their biggest downfalls. At the other end of the spectrum, non-containerized modular homes have expensive transportation issues making them uneconomic for most scenarios.
We deliver a market friendly, modular space in a timely and cost-effective manner.
