Advantages of Modular Construction

Modular construction can obviously save money, but that is not its primary advantage. The fundamental advantage of modular construction is that it saves time and provides a faster return on investment.

FREMONT, CA: Construction, as any professional in the building industry knows, can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Delays are nearly as common as on-time construction and might be caused by complex bureaucratic requirements, weather and other unexpected events, inadequate planning, insufficient manpower, or a variety of other factors. Long construction projects can also have a detrimental impact on public perception even before they are built, especially if they cause delays or inconvenience to individuals who live or work nearby. Furthermore, certain projects just require a speedier timeframe than is normally possible for a regular building job. Fortunately, modular construction is a viable option for companies looking to substantially cut building time.

• Volumetric modular building is a method in which entire rooms or sections of rooms—complete with walls, floors, and ceilings—are produced in a factory and then moved to a final assembly site. This construction method is utilized for both permanent and relocatable modular constructions (buildings that are not designed to be relocated versus those that are; consider a hotel versus a temporary classroom).
