Modular buildings The expression modular implies that pieces can be fitted together in order to make a larger structure. In the building industry it refers to a different method of creating additional space than the conventional approach of on-site construction. Modular buildings are built in a controlled environment in a factory setting , they are not at the mercy of the weather. The benefits of a modular build when set alongside a traditional building are many.. Mobile and modular structures cover a really large remit, this includes everything from building site housing blocks to multi-storey properties some with an outer brick skin which tends to make them extremely tough to identify from conventional buildings to the random person. Thanks to versatility, speed and dependability this particular form of constructing is actually getting more and more well-liked above standard approaches. Modular structures meet just about all permanent building expectations. The difference is that modular buildings tend to be constructed within a manufacturing facility, so that quality can easily end up being specifically controlled and shipped to site ready for quick assembly. When you are buying a building, the item can easily be finished up to 50aster than a traditionally built one. Hired buildings can be sent from stock. For any building application You can choose a modular building to fulfil any application, from offices, schools and hospitals to marketing suites, toilet facilities, canteens and many more. Modular Construction Advantages Quick delivery of space - Many modular companies maintain a fleet of commercial modular buildings ready for deployment and delivery immediately. Reduced time frame for completion of building infrastructure - Building construction occurs simultaneously with site prep, reducing completion time by as much as 50 Reduced cost of facilities - Overall costs savings on modular projects, when compared to typical site built projects can be expected to be between 15 -50 ue to inefficiencies with labour, materials and time savings. Budgeting flexibility - Acquisition options include leasing, lease to own, or purchase giving end users the option of operating expense or capital budget overlay. Flexible design options - Modular companies can construct and deliver buildings for temporary and permanent applications and structures ranging in size from a few hundred square feet to tens of thousands of square feet. Exteriors can be designed to match unique geographic needs. Reduced site disturbance in environmentally sensitive areas - Construction occurs off site in a manufacturing facility, minimizing site disturbances. Re-float ability of facilities - Buildings are designed and constructed for efficient secondary relocations, without significant structural modifications. Turnkey solution - Modular companies provide design, engineering, construction delivery ?nd set up, on time and on budget. Some more advantages are: -Affordable • Modular buildings are built with a guaranteed price, usually significantly less then site-built structures • Due to upfront client approvals, change-orders are normally not required • Modular structures can be cost-effectively moved, expanded, and altered, adding to there value Design-build Approach • Value-engineering is utilized in virtually every step of the building design • People report that the buying experience is much less stressful and very orderly • Clients are urged to participate in the design process and generally do so Fast, efficient • Completion times range from 1-week for basic units to 12-weeks for very complex projects • Site-work can be performed while the modular is being built, saving time and money • Rapid construction means earlier occupancy, and a faster return on investment • Permitting is less expensive, faster and more streamlined then site-built construction • Project scheduling is established at the time of order and is updated frequently Quality Assurance • Only kiln-dried lumber is used for framing, unlike most site-built construction • Repeat business is high, due to the quality of building materials and workmanship
