WHY MODULAR?
The traditional method of construction has been the accepted norm for a long time. By its very definition, the word traditional means conventional, customary and established.
Modular construction, on the other hand, revolutionizes everything, from cutting time to changing attitudes.
Both traditional and modular construction begins in the same way. Planning, design, approvals, site preparation are all required. But from this point onwards, everything changes. With modular, as the foundations are being laid on site, construction of the building is already taking place in a factory by skilled tradesmen, including interior and exterior finishes, electrics, plumbing, and flooring before the building is delivered to the site. The building is then transported, fixed in place and the keys handed over.
BENEFITS
Time
On average, a modular building is constructed 50% quicker than one using the traditional method, resulting in an earlier return on investment.
Budget
Modular buildings can be more affordable than site-built buildings. Shorter build time tends to mean significant cost savings. Also, there are no dead-spots in the process of waiting for materials.
Weather
As the major parts of construction are carried out in a factory, modular builds don’t run the risk of being rained off.
Health, safety, and quality
Factory conditions allow for far greater control and improvement of all three compared with the traditional building site.
Environmentally friendly
Modular builds are more energy-efficient, create less waste and increase the use of sustainable materials. There is also a reduction in the carbon footprint of the build as fewer people are traveling to and from the site.
Community friendly
Traditional builds generally create more noise, traffic, mess, and disruption.
Adaptable
Modular buildings can be easily expanded, relocated or reused.
