Benefit #2: Modular Construction Utilizes Efficient Manufacturing Processes
Modular construction techniques utilize an assembly line-style manufacturing process, resulting in greater efficiency and consistency. The modules are built in factories where materials and manpower are plentiful, resulting in proven quality control and consistent results.
Different steps in the manufacturing process can be completed simultaneously, which also improves efficiency. For example, interior wall finishes can be applied as windows, insulation, wiring, and plumbing are installed. Additionally, exterior finishes can be attached as doors and interior trim are installed.
Benefit #3: Modular Construction is Held to the Highest Quality Standards
Modular buildings are professionally engineered and constructed to satisfy the same building codes that traditionally-constructed structures must meet. Accurate engineering calculations, precise construction, and efficient communication are all essential to the success of a modular job.
The modules don’t meet one another or the foundation until they’re delivered, so everything must come together perfectly. Each piece must be weathertight, meet the client’s expectations, and satisfy all federal and state building code requirements as a single building.
Modules are fabricated using the same building construction materials you’d find in traditional construction. These high-quality materials include wood, steel, and concrete. That means you can expect the same durability you get with traditional construction.
Temporary modular buildings typically last 20-25 years or longer if they’re well-maintained and renovated periodically. The amount of times a temporary modular building is relocated can impact life expectancy. Permanent modular buildings don’t typically have a defined lifespan limit since they installed to be stationary, so you’ll be able to use them well into the future.
Benefit #4: Modular Construction is Convenient for Clients
Unlike traditional construction, modular construction is non-invasive and convenient. Here are a few reasons why modular building is more user-friendly:
- Jobs can be completed in half the time, so there’s less disruption to your routine and property.
- The modules are delivered right to your building site without you having to lift a finger.
- Temporary modules can easily be disconnected and demounted when you’re done using them.
- Temporary foundations are relatively simple to disassemble and remove when you’re done using your modular building.
- Modular buildings can be expanded or reduced in size to suit your changing needs.
