Substructure & Site Interface
Anchor bolt templates, steel base plates, perimeter grade beam seats, and elevated plinth connections engineered for flat, sloped, or coastal Philippine lots.
Calma.Basic · method & how it works
Your house is manufactured as precision building components at our Laguna plant and assembled on your lot. Four component families (A Substructure, B Shell & Enclosure, C MEP Rough-In, D Interior Fit-Out) replace open-ended wet site construction.
01 · How it works
Calma.Basic replaces open-ended wet site construction with a fixed Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) sequence. Manufactured in San Simon, Pampanga, Philippines under MDCC TECH OPC.
Start with One Bay (46 sqm), Two Bay (96 sqm), or Three Bay (140 sqm) on Calma.Basic (if you have land and financing) or configure a bespoke user-controlled house on Calma Blocks (/h20). Bedrooms follow your household brief.
Light-gauge steel (LGS) framing, EPS-core insulated structural panels, pre-plumbed bathroom/kitchen wet cores, and factory-finished skin modules are produced on jig-aligned shop lines under indoor quality control.
Numbered component packs ship to your Philippine site once foundation pedestals are ready. Panels, steel frames, and MEP harnesses bolt and lock together with dry mechanical joints — eliminating months of wet concrete curing.
Choose Components Only (with generated installation plans for your builder) or We Install (all-inclusive contractor installation fees, architectural/engineering design, and building permit handling).
02 · Component grammar (Categories A–D)
Anchor bolt templates, steel base plates, perimeter grade beam seats, and elevated plinth connections engineered for flat, sloped, or coastal Philippine lots.
Cold-formed light-gauge steel primary/secondary framing paired with high-density EPS insulated wall and roof panels, tropical waterproofing membranes, and typhoon-rated glazing.
Factory-assembled bathroom and kitchen service core with pre-tested PPR water supply, uPVC sanitary drainage, ventilation ducts, and pre-loomed electrical conduits.
Five catalog exterior skins on Black Stone + Travertine, architectural wall linings, cabinetry modules, lighting tracks, and five-star hotel parity bath and kitchen fixtures.
03 · Assemblies vs. wet construction
Construction
Design anay. Problema sunod.
Nagkalat nga impormasyon. Mahinay, delikado, mahal.
Assemblies
Design-build. Isa ka sistema.
Isa ka assembly contract. Klaro ang dalan pakadto sa site.
