In June 2023, Comunidad Educativa San Rafael, a non-profit in rural Peru, aimed to build a primary school for 120 students in the Amazonas region to address educational access in underserved communities. With a $450,000 grant and a six-month deadline before the 2024 school year, the organization needed an affordable, durable solution suited for a tropical climate with heavy rainfall. After competitive bidding, JS-Houses was selected to deliver 20 standard prefabricated modular houses designed as classrooms.

Each modular unit featured high-strength steel frames and waterproof insulated panels, ensuring resilience against rain and humidity. The classrooms were customized with spacious interiors, natural ventilation, and pre-installed electrical systems for lighting and digital learning tools, meeting the educational needs of young students. JS-Houses’ efficient production and logistics enabled the school to be assembled in nine weeks, from site clearing to final setup, saving three months compared to conventional construction. The cost-effective design kept the project 12% under budget, allowing Comunidad Educativa to purchase additional teaching resources.

The school opened in January 2024, providing a safe, modern learning environment that increased student attendance by 25% and improved academic engagement. Local educators valued the classrooms’ durability and low maintenance, ideal for long-term use in a remote area. The modular design’s flexibility supports plans for future expansion, such as adding a library. Backed by over a decade of expertise, a 100+ professional team, and global delivery to over 70 countries, JS-Houses delivered a reliable, high-quality educational solution that empowered San Rafael’s mission and reinforced JS-Houses’ reputation for practical modular construction.
