Three build levels of INTERMODULE block containers
What you buy, which build level and which options are three different questions. This page answers the second: how Budget, Standard and Project differ and how to choose.
A rational solution at the lowest cost
Series-built modules in a base configuration for sites where function and cost come first.
The core INTERMODULE series
A universal series system for single modules and for full modular buildings. The optimal balance of structure, fit-out, lead time and cost.
Built to the requirements of a specific site
Design and production of modular buildings to the customer's technical specification: dimensions, layout, loads, climate rating, building services and fit-out.
Three levels that are never mixed
What you buy
A block container, office or accommodation module, dormitory, canteen, site office building, sanitary module, checkpoint, workforce camp. This is the purpose; each has its own page.
Which build level
Budget, Standard or Project. The build level defines structure, fit-out and price.
Which options
Insulation and climate rating, snow load, fire requirements, electrics, ventilation, plumbing, finishes. These are parameters of a specific order.
Budget: a rational series solution
A fully functional module in the most rational base configuration, without costly extras. Chosen when price is the deciding factor and the task is clear: a changing room, a site cabin, a tool store, a guard post, a temporary office.
Series design, production from 5 working days. Single-storey, transported assembled, two units per truck.
Block container 6.055 × 2.435 m, Budget build: from 1,551,700 KZT excl. VAT · 1,800,000 KZT incl. VAT (16%). The Budget series comes in several sizes: lengths 2.435, 6.055 and 12.192 m. It also includes all site cabins converted from sea containers: 20′ (6.058 × 2.438 m) from 1,293,100 KZT excl. VAT · 1,500,000 KZT incl. VAT, and 40′ High Cube (12.192 × 2.438 m, height 2.896 m) from 2,327,600 KZT excl. VAT · 2,700,000 KZT incl. VAT. Other sizes and purposes: on request.
Standard: the core INTERMODULE series
The company's core series product, produced in volume and supplied as the base solution for most customers. Optimised structure, fit-out and cost; full modular buildings of up to three storeys are assembled from the same modules.
Frame of galvanized cold-formed profile with powder coating, double-sided fittings top and bottom, cement board floor, sandwich-panel walls with metal facing on both sides, concealed wiring, LED lighting, knock-down design.
Standard series block container: from 155,200 KZT/m² excl. VAT · 180,000 KZT/m² incl. VAT (16%). Standard widths are 2.435 and 2.990 m, lengths 2.435, 2.989, 4.885, 5.995, 6.055, 7.335 and 9.000 m, base external height 2.900 m, other heights are available as an option. The 5.995 and 6.055 m lengths are not duplicates: 6.055 m is a regular module, while 5.995 m is a corridor module 1.930 m wide externally that joins two 2.990 m wide modules with a 15 mm joint (2,990 + 15 + 2,990 mm). 2.989 m is the short 10-foot module. The cost of a building made of several modules depends on the project and is quoted separately.
Built from the Standard series
Project: to the customer's technical specification
Modules and buildings developed or adapted for a specific site. Especially important for EPC projects, industrial sites, power, mining and large workforce camps. The specification defines:
- dimensions and layout
- load-bearing structure, snow and wind loads
- insulation and climate rating
- exterior and interior finishes, windows and doors
- electrics, ventilation, heating and air conditioning, plumbing
- fire requirements
- equipment and the requirements of the specific industrial site
A questionnaire or a specification is enough for a quote. Scope of supply and price within 1 working day.

Data from INTERMODULE technical descriptions: Budget — July 2026 edition, Standard — edition 2.1, October 2026. In the Project build any parameter is set by the specification.
Purpose is not a series
An office module, a dormitory or a canteen can be of any build level: "office module, Standard build", "dormitory, Project build". Pages by purpose:
Technological modules are a separate line
Modules for diesel generators, transformer substations and electrical equipment, pump, compressor, boiler and server rooms do not belong to the block container series. These are containers for equipment, mostly built to project specification.
