The demand for modular space spans countless industries.
School classrooms, banks, restaurants, hospitals, clinics, daycare, and office buildings, have used modular construction to meet the need for temporary or permanent buildings for over thirty years.
Modular construction offers fast delivery, easy relocation, flexible configuration and temporary or permanent options. "Modular" describes a construction process where modules stand-alone or are assembled together to make up larger structures. Final structures, whether temporary or permanent, can be configured with exterior and interior designs that blend in with the existing surrounds and other buildings in such ways that you can not tell if they are modular or conventionally built structures. Modular buildings can be single, one story units or multi-story buildings with two, three, four, and even seven-stories , complete with stairwells, elevators and basements. Modular facilities can be built with concrete and steel floors, brick exteriors, sheet-rock interiors, windows, lighting, computer hook-ups, electrical service, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, restrooms, and handicap access, just as with conventional construction. The end product is the same.
Speed to occupancy is one of the unique advantages of modular construction. While the modular facility is under construction at the plant, the site work is being conducted. When the building is ready, the site is completed and the facility then can be pieced together, thus shortening the time to occupancy. With conventional construction, site work must be completed before work can begin on the facility itself. In the case of modular construction, occupancy can occur up to 40% sooner, and quicker occupancy means quicker return on investment.
Modular construction meets the same high standards as conventional construction.
Modular construction combines traditional building techniques, such as design technology, quality manufacturing and strict adherence to all appropriate local, state, and national codes and regulations. Nearly every manufacturer of modular units is inspected by third party agencies who offer random inspections, testing, and certification services to ensure a high quality level of the finished product. In many cases, the need to move the units demands that they be built to specifications that often exceed those of site built facilities. Add to this the advantage that the buildings are constructed in controlled environments and are not exposed to the elements while under construction. With the same level of maintenance as traditional construction, modular facilities will last just as long as site built facility can.
Stages of Modular Construction:
- The final designs are approved by the end user and all regulatory agencies - just
as any conventional construction would require.
- Modular construction is done at the designated factory location in a strict
controlled environment with all required inspections at each stage of the
construction.
- While the building is under construction, all necessary site work is completed.
- The individual modules are transported to the final destinations.
- Connection of modular units to form the finished building is completed.
- All site work, such as exterior finish landscaping is completed.
By simultaneously conducting step 2 and 3 up to 40% of the normal construction time is saved.
