Academy of Modular Construction and Engineering Technologies
An open educational initiative in which INTERMODULE acts as the initiator in its role as a manufacturer and general distributor. The goal is to raise the professional level of the market: to give clients, design engineers, procurement specialists, general contractors and manufacturers precise, practical knowledge so that modular projects become safer, more transparent and more technologically advanced.
Fewer substandard products, errors in specifications and rework after the tender
The Academy is not the corporate school of a single manufacturer. It is a platform where the market jointly agrees on precise requirements, clear criteria and verifiable knowledge.
Understand exactly what is being bought
Structure, steel, insulation, building services, documentation, climate rating, installation and operation are clear before the contract is signed.
Reduce the risk of substandard products
Knowledge helps to spot understated characteristics, incomplete scope, a weak frame and documentation errors in time, before they surface after delivery.
Reduce errors in specifications and design
Separately stated dimensions, floor areas, climate, loads and scope of supply mean that proposals from different plants price the same product.
Cut rework, lead times and unnecessary costs
Checking feasibility at the specification stage eliminates equipment substitutions, recalculations and repeated approvals after the tender.
No hidden savings on critical items
Load-bearing structures, fire safety solutions, building services and installation are never subject to unnoticed cost-cutting.
Make the market transparent and technologically advanced
Digital questionnaires, specification templates, calculators, open checklists and verifiable data become the norm.
Design only what can actually be manufactured, delivered, installed and maintained at the specific location
The market problem: projects end up including solutions that are not available locally, are located too far away or are nearly impossible to procure properly. After the tender, the substitution of equipment and components begins, along with recalculations, design changes and repeated approvals.
Proven and available solutions first
Where a task can be solved with a series-produced component or a standard module, it makes sense to start there.
Custom solutions only when they are really needed
The Project series is reserved for function, safety and special site conditions, not used by default.
Standardization does not restrict architecture
There is no need to redesign every time what could long since have been unified: connection details, service entries, levels, fasteners.
The Academy formula
Standardize the interfaces. Keep the architecture free.
An initiative to shape a professional standard for modular construction
The Academy is gradually assembling common working rules for all market participants. This is not a state standard and not an ST RK national standard: it is an open professional practice that the market shapes together.

Nine principles of a modern modular construction market
Industry development begins not with louder advertising but with more precise requirements, clear standards and solutions that can actually be implemented.
Precision instead of guesswork
Technical solutions are described with figures, characteristics, standards and scope of supply, not in general terms.
Design only feasible solutions
A project includes only what can be manufactured, delivered, installed and maintained at the specific location.
Sensible standardization
Standard, proven components where individuality adds no value; freedom where it is needed.
Geometric compatibility
Modules from different manufacturers match in dimensions and in floor and ceiling levels, mating planes and axes.
Safety
Load-bearing capacity, fire safety solutions, building services and installation quality are never a place for hidden savings.
Transparent comparison of proposals
Solutions with identical scope and scope of supply are compared, not bottom-line prices.
Full life cycle
The solution accounts for delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, upgrades and the replaceability of components.
Manufacturer cooperation
A single standard makes it possible to split a large order among several plants and assemble one facility.
A technologically advanced modern market
Digital questionnaires, specification templates, calculators, open checklists and verifiable data are the industry norm.
A good project is not the most complex project. It is a project that solves the task safely and rationally and can be implemented in the real world without endless rework.
One project. Several plants. One standard.
A single plant in Kazakhstan may physically be unable to produce a 450-module project on a short schedule. With a common standard, the order is split among several manufacturers: plant A builds part of the accommodation modules, plant B another part, plant C the sanitary blocks, plant D the admin and welfare blocks (ABK) and service facilities. On site, everything is assembled into a single compatible facility.
Compete on quality and efficiency. Cooperate on capacity.
We invite the market to jointly define what is really worth standardizing. The working group is open to manufacturers, design engineers, general contractors, clients and operating organizations.
Three courses of ten lessons each
From the first question to a technical specification, a shift worker camp and an understanding of the structure. Every lesson ends with a checklist and a link to a practical tool.
How to Write a Technical Specification for a Modular Building
Input data, capacity, dimensions, climate, insulation, building services, fire requirements and the request for proposal.
Shift Worker Camp from A to Z
Accommodation buildings, canteen, sanitary blocks, medical station, administration, building services and site master plan.
Fundamentals of Modular Construction
Terms, structure, frame, dimensions, series, service life and areas of application.
Upcoming courses in preparation
Design of Modular Buildings · Thermal Engineering and Climate · Building Services · Technological Modules · Production and Quality Control · Logistics and Installation · Procurement and Economics · Design for the Local Market. Publication dates will be listed here.
