'Together we optimize and make the construction process more sustainable'

Alert Isolatie B.V. supplied the insulation materials for student housing complex Balpol IV in Delft to main contractor Daiwa House Modular Europe. The long-term cooperation between both companies is characterized by the shared vision to build sustainable, efficient and high quality buildings. Alert Isolatie B.V. delivers customized solutions that perfectly fit the modular building methods of Daiwa House Modular Europe.

Daiwa House Modular Europe is known for its innovative approach to modular construction in its own factory, with an emphasis on speed and sustainability. Jerry de Nijs of Alert Isolatie B.V: "Because we deliver all insulation materials to size, nothing needs to be cut in the factory. This not only saves time and costs, but also prevents waste. For this project, we supplied a complete package of insulation materials for each unit, which can be processed immediately without becoming a complex puzzle. By applying codes to the packages, we make it extra easy for the builders to use the right materials in the right places. This is how we optimize the construction process together."

The right insulation value and fire resistance

Alert Isolatie B.V.'s specialists like to think along from the drawing board on the detailing and required thickness of the insulation materials to achieve the right insulation value, air tightness and fire resistance. "By working closely together from the beginning, we are able to move quickly and ensure that all insulation materials fit perfectly within the designs of Daiwa House Modular Europe. As a result, the production process runs smoothly and without hiccups. Sometimes we can even save costs, as less thick material is needed to achieve the requested values."

Deliveries for Balpol IV are made in phases, aligned with Daiwa House Modular Europe's production schedule. Alert Isolatie B.V. has the flexibility to deliver weekly or even daily, depending on available storage space and demand. De Nijs is very pleased with the cooperation with Daiwa House Modular Europe, also on this project. "Alert Isolatie B.V.'s prefabricated insulation and Daiwa House's modular construction method together form a powerful combination that resulted in a beautiful, sustainable building."
