Frequently Asked Questions

Containers are manufactured from durable galvanized steel profiles. Especially Hekim Sandwich Panel coated containers do not have any paint, while acrylic exterior paint is sufficient for Hekim Board coated containers.

Prefabrik Yapı A.Ş. is a leading manufacturer in the prefabricated building sector and a subsidiary of Hekim Holding. Established in 1989, we produce high-quality prefabricated structures, containers, and steel buildings using advanced technology. Our facilities have a high monthly production capacity to meet large-scale global demands swiftly.

Yes, we export our products to more than 150 countries across 6 continents. Our logistics and assembly teams are experienced in managing international projects, ensuring seamless delivery and installation worldwide.

Prefabricated buildings offer speed, cost-efficiency, and durability. They are produced much faster than traditional reinforced concrete structures, provide high thermal and sound insulation, are earthquake-resistant, and can be dismantled and relocated if necessary.

Absolutely. We design and manufacture our buildings based on the specific climatic conditions of the installation site. Whether it is a snowy region, a humid tropical area, or a hot desert, we adjust the insulation values and structural load calculations accordingly.

When regularly maintained, our prefabricated buildings have a lifespan equivalent to traditional reinforced concrete buildings, typically ranging from 40 to 50 years or more, depending on the materials used (e.g., Light Steel or Standard Prefab).

Yes, our structures are designed to be highly resistant to earthquakes. The flexible nature of the steel structure and the bolted joint system allows the building to absorb seismic energy without collapsing, making them one of the safest options in earthquake zones.

We primarily use HekimBoard (fibercement) technology, which is an A-1 class incombustible, water-resistant, and eco-friendly material. For insulation, we use high-density EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) or rock wool depending on the project requirements and fire safety regulations.

We utilize a “Seamless Production Technology” with a bolted joint system (weld-free). This prevents corrosion caused by welding points and significantly extends the durability and lifespan of the steel structure.

Yes. By using A-1 class incombustible HekimBoard sheets and fire-retardant insulation materials (like rock wool), our buildings comply with strict fire safety regulations.

Yes, we can produce double-storey or even multi-storey buildings using our Light Steel Technology. These structures are static-calculated to bear the necessary loads safely.

We offer a wide range of standard functional plans for houses, offices, and camps. However, we also specialize in custom projects. Our architectural and engineering teams can work on your specific drawings or modify our standard plans to suit your needs.

Yes, customers can select their preferred colors for both interior and exterior walls from our color chart.

Since our system is modular, modifications such as adding partitions or expanding the building are possible. However, any structural changes should be consulted with our technical team to ensure stability.

For standard projects, we typically apply PVC floor covering over the chassis or concrete. However, depending on the customer’s request, we can also provide options like laminate flooring or ceramic tiles (applied on-site).

Yes, depending on the package you choose, we can provide kitchen cabinets, sinks, sanitary ware (toilets, showers, washbasins), and necessary armatures.

The customer is responsible for preparing the concrete foundation according to the concrete plan provided by Prefabrik Yapı A.Ş. Additionally, ensuring the ground is level and obtaining necessary local permits are the customer’s responsibility.

For international projects, we typically send a Technical Supervisor to guide your local assembly team. This supervisor ensures the installation is done correctly. Alternatively, for large-scale projects, we can deploy a full assembly team upon request.

Assembly time depends on the size of the building. For example, a standard 100 m² single-storey house can be assembled in approximately 4 to 7 days by an experienced team, excluding the screed and paint drying times.

It depends on the building type. For container modules, a crane is usually needed for offloading. For panelized prefab buildings, materials can often be offloaded by forklifts or manpower, but a crane might be required for roof trusses or second-storey steel structures.

We provide all the necessary materials for electrical and sanitary installations (cables, pipes, sockets, switches, fixtures) inside the building. However, the connection from the building to the main city grid (external connections) is the customer’s responsibility.

No, the concrete foundation and screed concrete (floor leveling) are not included in our standard prices. We provide the necessary concrete plans for you to execute locally.

We ship our buildings via trucks (land), containers (sea), or sometimes rail. Our products are designed as flat-pack or panelized systems to maximize shipping efficiency and reduce transportation costs.

Yes. Our panelized system allows a 100 m² house to fit into roughly one or two 40ft High Cube (HC) shipping containers, depending on the wall height and insulation thickness.

Our standard payment terms usually involve a deposit upon order confirmation and the balance before shipment. Please contact our sales department for specific terms related to your project.

Who bears the insurance responsibility is determined by the shipping terms (EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, DAP). If requested as part of a CFR/CIF/DAP agreement, we can handle both transportation and insurance arrangements.

In most countries, yes. Prefabricated buildings are subject to local zoning and construction regulations. We recommend checking with your local municipality before ordering. We provide the static calculations and architectural drawings you need for the permit application.

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of our bolted system is that the buildings can be disassembled and reassembled at a different location with minimal material loss.

Yes, we offer a warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty period and terms are specified in our contract. Issues arising from user error or lack of maintenance are typically not covered.

HekimBoard is superior because it is autoclaved, meaning it is extremely durable against harsh weather, does not rot, is pest-free, and has A-1 class fire resistance, unlike standard PVC or wood-based sidings.
