BUILD Sustainable Building Awards 2023 taking extra time to engineer and prototype, construction is smoother and has a lower failure rate. Components are designed with granular details and employed like parts of a large jigsaw puzzle. TMB is a hybrid system and uses various building materials and add-ons that reduce weight and increase load bearing capacity. The Orange Kit is essentially a smart plug and play dynamic assembly system. Orange Kit components are sourced from TMB’s co-makers and regular suppliers, meaning that there is no high upfront investment in manufacturing facilities. The model has the potential for quick and easy upscaling. By delivering prefabricated ‘plug and play’ components to construction sites, TMB has created a system that is easily transportable to cope with increasing costs and the industry’s labour shortage. Through collaboration with like-minded partners, service providers, co-makers, and investors, TMB produces innovative products to create affordable housing. Industry veteran Carel van Duuren has used his family crest for TMB’s logo to demonstrate the business’s commitment to quality and authenticity. It is True Modular Building’s ambition to help decarbonise the construction industry and build a sustainable future. True Modular Building is currently setting up joint ventures around the world to market, order, and assemble residential buildings for communities. In December 2023, TMB set up its first ventures in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Each project will begin with the construction of 10 to 20 residential buildings. Founder Carel van Duuren established TMB as his legacy project in an effort to offer affordable housing, sequester carbon and promote sustainability throughout the value chain. With his holistic approach, he has created an innovative system capable of producing a diverse range of building types. This pioneering technology supports mass customisation and fast development while reducing costs and lowering emissions. TMB is dedicated to transforming the construction industry, with sustainable building materials and intelligent design, for generations to come. True Modular Building has received two Sustainable Building Awards for this year’s Most Innovative Modular Building Company – Netherlands and Best Sustainable Componentised Building System: Orange Kit. True Modular Building was established to help reduce the industry’s impact on carbon emissions and the depletion of natural resources. The building sector faces many problems and among them is the surplus production of waste and the high consumption of electricity. The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is energy consumption with 40% of this energy consumed within buildings. TMB understands that people’s needs change over time and has designed its buildings with simple interchangeable components that are fully customisable. The size and weight, dimensions and structure, can be adjusted to remain cost-effective and use less overall material. Components are releasable and reusable to decrease waste and error costs during construction. Orange Kit platforms are agile to ensure that replacements and the latest materials can be integrated into the building with ease. Modularisation has futureproofed the Orange Kit. Carel van Duuren, Founder of True Modular Building Group, shares, “After working for many years with container kitchens, we created in 2016 our patented NxtGen Industrial building system, followed by our NxtGen Professional Kitchens building system in 2018. I have created a new building method and have the ambition to reshape the residential building industry with a holistic, modularised system. “TMB is a quasi-vertical spin-off in the real estate environment, controlling the quality of the entire building process. Keys to our business model are happy tenants and our end-to-end Orange-Kit building platform to control the production and the value chain. Our core belief is that modularization, technological innovation and digitalisation will transform the entire building lifecycle and will unleash the power to create affordable and scalable housing.” At TMB, the design process begins with selecting the fundamental building parts that cannot be broken down into smaller parts. The team engineers smart building sub-assemblies using minimum parts for easy assembly. By True Modular Building is on a mission to create affordable and sustainable BTR (Build to Rent) housing. TMB’s objective is to create, preserve, sustain and share value and provide substantial savings with its cost-effective modularized building system. The business aims to become a global real estate brand, renowned for its high-quality offerings and environmentally friendly Orange-Kit building system. The building method is designed to support mass customisation, fast development, and configurability. With its innovative platform, TMB has streamlined its processes for design, development, management, production and assembly. True Modular Building has received two Sustainable Building Awards for its innovative contributions to the construction industry.
