Modular construction offers a high quality, sustainable,
efficient and faster building method for commercial and residential projects.
Because of its benefits, it is no surprise that more and more projects are
utilizing this process.
In modular construction, buildings are primarily constructed in sections in a factory-controlled environment and then transported to the job site for final installation. As modules are being constructed, site work commences at the exact same time to install foundation, utilities and initial site grading. When the modules arrive, final interior and exterior finishes are applied and utilities are connected. The final step is site grading, concrete work and landscaping. This innovative process results in a shorter construction timeline, less material waste, safer construction and earlier occupancy.
Although modular construction on its own provides great
flexibility and reuse, it can also be integrated with traditional construction
for an innovative, turnkey project.
Modular construction and traditional construction can often
work together for a more sophisticated modular building. Large projects, such as a
school campus, can utilize on-site traditional construction or site-built
elements to build a portion of their campus and surround it with modular units.
Traditionally-built healthcare offices or hospitals can additionally expand and
connect modular units to its existing structure for added space. Combining
these two construction methods allows for greater flexibility, a visually
appealing structure and faster construction.
