Frequently asked questions

Questions about Algeco's product range

What are the advantages of a modular building?

With a modular construction, you quickly have extra space. You can enlarge or move it as you wish.

Does an Algeco building last as long as a traditional building?

Yes, the Algeco constructions have the same qualities as traditional buildings.

Rent or buy?

Both options are possible. Contact our sales team to discuss the possibilities.

Can you take care of the entire construction process?

Yes, with our approach we take care of your process from A to Z, including design, installation, total furnishing, and maintenance. This way, you have one point of contact for the entire process.

Do you have a after-sales service?

Yes, Algeco guarantees excellent after-sales service for all our products, so you are assured of ongoing support. Our team is ready to assist you with maintenance and any questions.

Do you sell used accommodations?

Yes, from time to time we offer second-hand accommodations. You can view our available units on our second-hand page. Feel free to contact us for more information about the options.

Do you rent out existing homes?

We only provide temporary and semi-permanent housing to the government, educational institutions, construction companies, events, and businesses. For homes, we refer you to your local contractor.

Feasibility of a modular construction

Is a crane needed to install a module?

For an assembly or a floor, a crane is sometimes needed. For this, a project manager will visit your site.
We take a monoblock module directly off the truck.

Are foundations necessary?

Foundations are only needed for stacked modules and on poor quality terrain.
As standard, we do provide foundation tiles with every request.

How do I know if my site is suitable for a module?

Are you unsure about accessibility? Then an Algeco advisor will come to take a look. Please contact us.

Do I always need to apply for a permit?

This varies by type of housing and municipality. Always check the permit requirements with your municipality based on your plans. Naturally, we are happy to advise you personally on this.

Do you deliver all over Belgium?

We deliver from our 2 locations throughout Belgium.

Do you deliver abroad?

Algeco is established in 26 countries (Europe and Asia) and therefore delivering abroad is also possible. Due to our very close collaboration with our Dutch colleagues, we can offer a wide range of solutions from across the Benelux. Please contact us for more information.

How quickly can you deliver?

That depends on your wishes, the area, our availability of units, and the type of building. But we are used to very short delivery times and tight schedules. We generally deliver smaller projects with units within a few days.

Last-minute need for extra space or a storage container? Then check out our Algeco Express service where we can deliver three types of units to you the next working day.

Technical specifications

How many floors are possible?

This depends on the type of unit used for your building. From our expertise, we always propose the most efficient type of unit tailored to your project.
Advance units can be stacked up to a maximum of 2 floors. For Origin units, this depends on the type and can range from 3 to 4 floors. With Progress units, it is possible to stack up to 2 floors on top of each other.

How do I store my valuables?

With Algecostorage: a secure container, equipped with an anti-vandalism lock, exclusively from Algeco.

Sustainability

Are your units sustainable?

Yes, our units are designed to be sustainable. Their flexible and modular design allows them to be easily rented, adapted, and reused for various projects, contributing to a longer lifespan and less waste.

What is the ecological footprint of Algeco units?

Our products have a low ecological footprint thanks to the use of recycled materials and sustainable production methods. We ensure that all materials used are responsibly recycled and reused, in order to minimize waste and energy consumption. Feel free to contact us for more information.

How does Algeco contribute to the circular economy?

Algeco supports the circular economy by designing modules that are reusable for more than 25 years and using materials that are largely recycled. At the end of their lifespan, the modules are recycled, with percentages up to 98% for some models.

Safety

Can I safely host guests in the modular buildings?

Algeco provides all safety guarantees and complies with the technical standards in force.

Are the buildings insured?

When hiring an Algeco building, taking out the Algeco Damage Waiver is always mandatory. This covers, among other things, burglary and graffiti.
