Modular Construction -what is it?

• Factory production of a tted out

room.

• Pre-engineered building units.

• Delivered to site as modularunits and assembled on site to

form a building.

• It may comprise highly servicedrooms such as plant, bathroomsor kitchens or bedrooms,lounges, stairwells.

• It is a self supporting structure

Modular Construction - why usit?


6/43

The factory-controlled process generates less waste, creates fewer sitedisturbances and allows for tighter construction.

Less Site Disturbance

On-site traffic is greatly minimized from workers, equipment and suppliers.

Greater Flexibility and Reuse

Modular buildings can be disassembled and the modules relocated or

refurbished for new use, reducing the demand for raw materials and

minimizing the amount of energy expended to create a building to meet the

new need.

Less Material Waste

hen building in a factory, waste is eliminated by recycling materials,

controlling in!entory and protecting building materials.

Improved Air Quality

"ecause the modular structure is substantially completed in a factory-controlled setting using dry materials, the potential for high le!els of

moisture being trapped in the new construction is eliminated.

with the site and foundation work, pro4ects can be completed 678 to978 sooner than traditional construction.

$ Eli!ination o" $athr Dlays :7 - ;78 of the construction is completed inside a factory, whichmitigates the risk of weather delays. /uildings are occupied sooner,creating a faster return on investment.

easily pro!ided with the modular framing solution. Offering !erygood acoustic performance both against external noise and
