Modular Buildings

The construction sector is one of the largest industry in the world. If the time required to complete a construction project is more, it will result in an increased cost.

About Modular Buildings:

Modular buildings or Modular homes are the pre-fabricated buildings or houses. They consist of individual repeated sections called “modules”. Modular construction is a method of constructing the modules or sections away from the construction site and transporting them to the building site. For completing the framework or construction of the building. The modules or sections fabricated using the normal construction materials.

It is also called “Off-site construction” or “Mobile Home construction”. Commercial modular construction reduces the construction schedule to complete the building projects 30 to 50 times faster than normal methods. Modular construction technology more often using in low-rise buildings of different functional purposes like residential, household and office, warehouses, etc..

Modular building materials:

There are two types of materials used in the modular building construction,

1. Wood-frame construction: which built with standard timber.
2. Steel and concrete.

Modular Construction Process:

1. Modular construction is quite similar to LEGO bricks, in that process each brick is manufactured to fit with the next brick.
2. The same method followed in the modular construction also.
3. The individual modules are prepared in industries away from the construction site.
4. Then they are delivered to the site for assembling, to complete the framework or construction of the building.
5. The individual modules are normally built 8 to 14 feet wide, so they can be transported easily to the site.
6. Sometimes module lengths depend upon the building configuration and site layout.

Benefits: -

1. Easy to operate and flexible.
2. The budget will be lower compared to the general construction methods.
3. Better construction quality.
4. Reduce the disturbance in a construction site.
5. Modular building process uses less energy than the traditional construction methods.

Conclusion:

Modular construction benefits are very unique compared to normal or traditional construction methods. With modular construction, you can minimize your risks and can get the superior quality output. And also help you to meet various needs at less time.
