Solutions for urgent housing such as migrants, students and flexible living
Municipalities are facing major housing challenges. Pressure on the housing market continues to rise, student populations grow, and more people require immediate shelter. At the same time, municipalities are expected to act quickly and sustainably. Modular construction provides exactly that: flexible, future-proof housing that can be deployed directly when urgent demand arises.
Why modular building is ideal for municipalities
Modular buildings consist of prefabricated units produced in a factory setting. They are transported to the site fully finished and then installed in a short time. This enables municipalities to respond quickly when housing urgency is at its peak.
Key benefits for municipalities
- Rapid implementation for urgent housing needs
- Flexible deployment and easy to relocate or expand
- Sustainable and circular thanks to reusable prefab units
- Minimal disruption to the environment due to short on-site construction time
- Suitable for both temporary and permanent housing
Applications for urgent housing
Housing for migrants and status holders
Municipalities can quickly provide safe and high-quality living units that can later be relocated or adjusted. This prevents people from staying too long in temporary accommodations.
Flexible housing for local residents
Starters, single parents, essential workers and people in transitional living situations benefit from housing availability without long waiting lists.
Prefab student accommodation
When student numbers rise rapidly, modular construction prevents extra pressure on the housing market by quickly adding living capacity.
Sustainable and future-proof
Modular building contributes to local sustainability goals:
- Units are demountable and reusable
- Reduced material waste due to controlled factory production
- Energy-efficient systems and high-quality insulation
- Low CO₂ emissions in production and transportation
A modular housing site can later be given a completely different function, allowing municipalities to continuously adapt to social developments.
Spatial flexibility

Van den Nagel Modulaire Bouw supports municipalities with:
- design and engineering
- full production and installation
- service and maintenance throughout the lifecycle
- sustainable reuse of units after initial deployment
Together, we create a flexible housing stock that can be scaled up whenever and wherever needed.
Modular construction gives municipalities control over urgent housing needs. It delivers speed, sustainability, flexibility and security. With the right partner, you create a high-quality living solution ready for today and the future.
Modular homes can often be operational within just a few weeks. Units are produced in the factory while the site is being prepared, making it ideal for urgent housing needs.
Yes. Floor plans and amenities can be fully customized. Units can be designed as studios, shared accommodations, family housing or grouped living concepts.
Units can be expanded, downsized or relocated whenever needs change. This ensures that the housing supply always matches current demand.
Absolutely. Modular homes fully meet all safety standards, energy performance requirements and building regulations applicable to permanent housing.
Yes. Reusable units, energy-efficient systems and minimal material waste contribute to low CO₂ emissions and support circular ambitions.
