Expandable Porta Cabin

Vima’s expandable modular building is from a set of modular prefabricated buildings that can be converted from a volumetric module, equivalent to a standard shipping container, to a prefabricated building with various uses with an area of 45 square meters through several hinged systems.

In times of emergencies, like crises or natural disasters, there is an urgent need to build Build Fast buildings. Vima’s expandable building is a product that creates the possibility of building buildings such as modular medical clinics, accommodation camps, and administrative offices in the shortest possible time and with the best quality. Easy portability, installation speed, the fact that three people can build it in less than 30 minutes, as well as the efficient structural system of this building, allow us to introduce it as one of the best options in the construction industry.
