Question 1

What is Compositea Homes?

Accepted Answer

Compositea Homes develops a construction concept based on a composite structure in GRP and industrialized manufacturing applied to residential housing.

Question 2

Are you a builder of traditional houses?

Accepted Answer

No. Compositea Homes develops and supplies a complete construction system, but does not manage the subcontracting companies.

Question 3

What exactly does Compositea Homes provide?

Accepted Answer

We provide structural elements in GRP, prefabricated modules, technical studies, execution plans and implementation documentation.

Question 4

How is your approach different?

Accepted Answer

Our approach applies industry standards to residential construction to offer greater precision, durability, and predictability.

Question 5

What is PRFV?

Accepted Answer

GRP stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester. It is a composite material used in many industrial sectors for its strength and durability.

Question 6

Why use GRP to build a house?

Accepted Answer

GRP offers excellent mechanical resistance, long-lasting dimensional stability and total insensitivity to corrosion and moisture.

Question 7

Is GRP a reliable material?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Composite materials have been used for decades in industry, boating and aeronautics for their structural reliability.

Question 8

Does GRP require any special maintenance?

Accepted Answer

No. The material does not undergo corrosion, deformation, or parasite attack.

Question 9

Is a composite house sturdy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GRP has high mechanical strength and withstands static and dynamic loads very well.

Question 10

Can the material crack?

Accepted Answer

Unlike concrete, GRP does not suffer from shrinkage-related cracking.

Question 11

Is GRP resistant to moisture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The material is completely impervious to moisture and corrosion.

Question 12

What is the lifespan of a composite structure?

Accepted Answer

The structural performance is sustainable over several decades without classic pathologies.

Question 13

Why is the construction faster?

Accepted Answer

The structural elements are prefabricated in the workshop and then assembled on site, which reduces the time spent working on the construction site.

Question 14

How long does the structural phase last?

Accepted Answer

Assembling the structure is generally much faster than in a traditional construction.

Question 15

Is the construction project more predictable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Industrial manufacturing allows for better control of deadlines and limits unforeseen structural issues.

Question 16

Does Compositea manage all trades?

Accepted Answer

No. The subcontractors are chosen and coordinated by the client or the project manager.

Question 17

Are the houses customizable?

Accepted Answer

Each project can be custom-designed according to site constraints, client needs, and local regulations.

Our page dedicated to the customization of composite houses.

Question 18

What is the maximum surface area of a Compositea Homes house?

Accepted Answer

The dwellings can range from 80 m² to over 200 m² and beyond.

Question 19

Can the house be extended later?

Accepted Answer

The modular system allows for the addition of modules and future extensions.

Question 20

Can the internal organization be modified?

Accepted Answer

The spaces can be reconfigured to adapt to changes in the family.

Question 21

How is the insulation integrated?

Accepted Answer

Thermal performance is integrated directly into the building system thanks to the composite envelope.

Question 22

Is the house energy efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Reducing thermal bridges and optimizing airtightness help to limit energy losses.

Question 23

Is the thermal comfort stable?

Accepted Answer

The integrated insulation ensures consistent comfort in both summer and winter.

Question 24

Is it possible to reduce energy consumption?

Accepted Answer

A better thermal envelope helps to reduce consumption and control energy bills.

Question 25

Is the system of interest to developers?

Accepted Answer

Our composite house allows us to reduce construction times and improve project predictability.

Question 26

Can architects work with this system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The construction system offers a clear technical basis and allows for the design of modular, contemporary projects.

Question 27

Do the design offices have the technical elements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Technical studies and execution plans are provided to facilitate design and implementation.
