Introduction:
Velas Modular Building System (MBS) is a solid
walled rapid building system, which can be flat-packed
and transported to remote areas.
Thermally insulated panel comprising of a 10mm fire
rated magnesium oxide (MgO) board either side with
high density polyurethane inner core.
Steel studs and track form an outer structural casing.
Joints are sealed and the walls are plastered using a pre-
coloured polymer based plaster.
Panel dimensions:
Wall height is 2400mm or 2700mm high.
Width is 1200mm (or 600mm infill)Thickness is 110mm external or 90mm internal panel

lightweight concrete raft foundation or
Velas elevated steel flooring system.
A bottom track is bolted to the concrete

Building Process:
A single wall panels weigh up to 80kg.
Two men can carry one panel.
A team of six men can erect the walls for a
40m2 house in 2 days.
The panels join with a male-female inter-
locking system and are then screwed together.
Once the panels have been erected, a ring-
beam is fixed over the panels to form an
additional locking mechanism.

Jointing & Plastering:
An expandable water-proof compound is
used to close the joints.
An alkaline resistant fibreglass mesh is fixed
to the board and a polymer based plaster is
then applied to the mesh. The plaster is then painted once it has dried.
The house looks and feels like a
conventionally plastered house, but has all
the benefits of a thermally insulated,
modular building system.
