Modular Buildings, meaning, uses and benefits

What are Modular Buildings?

Modular buildings consist of prefabricated sections, known as modules, which are constructed in a factory setting before being transported to their final location. This method of construction is notably faster than traditional building techniques, often reducing the project timeline by up to 50%.

Benefits of Modular Buildings

Speed: Once planning approval is granted by NAPC, the construction can be completed in a few short months.

Minimal Disruption: Since the majority of the work is done offsite in a factory, at least 80% of the project is completed away from the site, resulting in significantly less noise, pollution, and disruption for neighbours and the local community.

Flexibility: Modular buildings offer easy expansion, reduction, reconfiguration, or relocation to suit changing needs.

Cost Efficiency: Offsite construction methods help lower manufacturing costs.

Durability: Our modular buildings come with a 10-year guarantee and are designed to last over 60 years.

Sustainability: The use of eco-friendly materials, green technologies, and reduced waste, along with fewer deliveries to the site, makes modular buildings a sustainable choice.

Applications of Modular Buildings

Modular buildings are used across various industries due to their adaptability and robustness. Common applications include:

  • Office spaces
  • Rental units
  • Housing, such as granny annexes
  • Sports facilities
  • Educational facilities
  • Retail spaces
