Rapid-Build Buildings in Kazakhstan

Rapid-build buildings are assembled on site from factory-made elements: office and residential blocks, canteens, retail buildings, warehouses, workshops and repair bays. INTERMODULE builds them using two technologies — from volumetric block modules and on a steel frame with sandwich panels.

What is a rapid-build building

A rapid-build building is one whose main elements are manufactured at the factory and only assembled on site. That is why the timeline is counted in weeks, the work is almost independent of the season, and the building can be dismantled and moved. In terms of purpose, these are full-fledged buildings: with insulation, utilities and finishing.

The word "rapid-build" covers different technologies, with different prices and capabilities. Below are the two technologies INTERMODULE works with, and the types of buildings that are built with them.

Where to lookModular BuildingsIndustrial Steel-Frame Buildings

If you need a compact box with a room-by-room layout that can be transported, modular technology is the fit. If you need a large span without internal columns, height for machinery or an overhead crane, a steel frame is the fit. The two technologies are often combined in one facility: a steel-frame workshop with an attached modular administrative block.

Prices for rapid-build buildings

The starting price depends on the technology. Volumetric modular buildings of the Standard series — from 155,200 ₸/m² excl. VAT · 180,000 ₸/m² incl. VAT. Steel-frame buildings — from 80,000 ₸/m² excl. VAT · 92,800 incl. VAT.

The starting price of the Standard series applies to the basic configuration described in the technical description of the Standard series (PDF). Options and deviations from the basic configuration are priced separately.

  • ✓
    Included in the starting price: frame, insulated enclosing structures, roof, windows and doors.
  • ✗
    Priced separately: foundation, external networks, delivery to site and process equipment.

The exact price is determined by the project: building purpose, area, insulation thickness, utilities and finishing. A breakdown by item and a starting estimate by area are in the article prices for rapid-build buildings. We prepare a quote for your facility within 1 business day based on the questionnaire.

Delivery and installation across Kazakhstan's cities

The plant is located near Astana, so installation starts fastest in the capital and Akmola Region. To other regions we ship the structures factory-ready and assemble them on site with our own crew — quality does not depend on distance, only logistics changes.

Rapid-build buildings in Astana

The plant is in Akmola Region, next to the capital — the shortest logistics leg is here.

Rapid-build buildings in Almaty

Delivery and installation per project. Regional requirements (including seismicity) are taken into account at the technical brief stage.

Shymkent

Delivery and installation per project — timelines and logistics are calculated after the technical brief.

We also work in Atyrau, Aktau, Aktobe, Karagandy, Pavlodar, Kostanay, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kyzylorda and Taraz, as well as at remote industrial sites — logistics and timelines are calculated individually.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rapid-build building? +
It is a building assembled on site from factory-made elements, so it is built in weeks rather than months. INTERMODULE offers two such technologies: volumetric modular buildings made of ready-made block modules, and buildings on a demountable steel frame with sandwich panels.
How much does a rapid-build building cost? +
Volumetric modular buildings of the Standard series — from 155,200 ₸/m² excl. VAT · 180,000 ₸/m² incl. VAT. Steel-frame buildings — from 80,000 ₸/m² excl. VAT · 92,800 incl. VAT. The exact price is determined by the project: purpose, area, insulation, utilities and finishing. Foundation, external networks and delivery are priced separately.
How long does it take to build a rapid-build building? +
Manufacturing and installation time depends on the building type: a canteen or an unheated warehouse — 20–45 days, an office building — 25–55 days, a residential block or a production workshop — 30–60 days. We state the exact time in the quote after the technical brief.
How does a modular building differ from a steel-frame building? +
These are two different structural systems. A volumetric modular building is assembled from ready-made factory-built block modules that are transported and relocated as a whole. A steel-frame building is a demountable frame with bolted connections and sandwich panel cladding, designed for a specific span, overhead crane and purpose. The choice depends on whether you need a relocatable box of standard size or a wide-span building for a specific process.
Is a building permit required? +
A building on a foundation, connected to utilities and intended for permanent use is considered a capital structure — it must go through the procedure with the GASK authorities. The document package for the facility is prepared according to the project together with the customer and the partner design firm.
Do you provide delivery and installation across Kazakhstan? +
Yes, in all regions of Kazakhstan: Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Atyrau, Aktau, Aktobe, Karagandy, Pavlodar, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kostanay and at remote industrial sites. Logistics, installation and commissioning are calculated individually based on the project and the distance.
