Modular Construction in Cold Climates

Construction in the wintertime may seem like a huge task; however, modular homes and buildings can be built in cold climates very quickly. Because the majority of construction occurs in a climate-controlled factory environment, modular construction offers the flexibility to be built at any time.

Modular homes and commercial buildings have been a popular choice in construction because sections are factory built for better quality control. Traditional construction is subject to delays due to climate changes that could affect wood, steel and other building materials. With modular construction, the majority of the work is done off site with little to no delays caused by weather. This means that there are fewer timeline restrictions, allowing modular construction to occur year round. This is particularly beneficial in areas such as North Dakota and Montana, who experience several months of cold weather.

Under normal restrictions due to weather, traditionally constructed buildings could take years to complete. Modular projects can be completed up to 40 percent faster due to the indoor construction method. This efficient construction method is useful for an array of industries including education, healthcare, business/office, retail & hospitality, corrections & public safety, government and housing & lodging.

Cold weather and/or freezing temperatures that would normally affect production or halt it completely doesn't affect modular building projects, making them a perfect choice for cold climate areas.
