Permanent Modular Projects

Modular buildings have advanced tremendously over the years since the first pre-fabricated buildings were sold in the early 1900’s. In the beginning modular building were primarily used as temporary structures to quickly provide space. Now, much has changed, with modular construction serving as a plausible and reasonable option for many different sectors.

In today's world, modular buildings are becoming an increasingly more prevalent option in construction. The flexibility of modular construction has even grown to include high rise construction projects. For example, a university in Wolver Hampton, England is home to the tallest modular high rise on record- a twenty-four story dormitory. On a smaller scale, local schools are another area to benefit from the inclusion of pre-fabricated structures on their sites. Sherman Elementary School in Connecticut is one such location. By working closely with the school district, builders designed a modular addition that would blend in with the existing school while proving to be strong and noncombustible. By choosing the matching brick exterior and using concrete ramps and stairs with galvanized metal railings, the builders offered a permanent modular solution that was easily accessible as well as durable.

So much has changed over the past century, with the improvements in the modular and pre-fabricated building field; Modular solutions are now available without sacrificing design or building longevity. Many modular structures look no different from conventional ones, with modular designs in commercial and office buildings blending in effortlessly with existing structures. As the future approaches, modular structures will only continue to flourish, offering permanent modular solutions to various different sectors.
