Why Modular?

WHAT IS MODULAR CONSTRUCTION?

Modular construction is a building method in which individual components (or “modules”) of a structure are built in an offsite controlled facility prior to assembly at the final building site. These modules vary in size and character depending on the floor plan, as the contents of an individual module can range from multiple bedrooms and bathrooms to an expansive great room containing a kitchen, living room, and dining room.

1. Saves Time

Modular construction allows a large portion of the work to be done in a factory while site work and foundations are simultaneously performed on the site. This time-saving benefit keeps the project on schedule and speeds up construction time while still being efficient. There is potential to save 30 to 60 percent of overall schedule through a modular approach.

2. Weather

Fabricating the modules inside a controlled environment, worries about weather delaying construction of the modular units is virtually eliminated. It also provides workers safer and more comfortable conditions to be more productive and produce a higher quality product. Also, the modules arrive on-site usually outfitted with flooring, cabinets, counters, plumbing and electrical fixtures, and appliances, thereby needing little effort and time to be ready for use.

3. Meet or Exceeds Code

Modular buildings are built to meet or exceed the same building codes and standards as site-built structures, and the same architect-specified materials used in conventionally constructed buildings are used in modular construction projects – wood, concrete and steel.

4. Limitless Design Opportunities

Modular units may be designed to fit in with external aesthetics of any existing building and modular units, once assembled, are virtually indistinguishable from their site-built counterparts.
