Is modular construction cheaper than traditional construction?

If you were told that construction is no longer burdensome and taxing will you buy the statement? The obvious answer would be, “It is not possible”. The reason is that we have seen construction as an on-going process which takes ages to compete and take a lot of time and resources. But with tremendous developments and advancements happening in the field of construction, the conventional methods have now given way to modular construction, and this has brought oodles of ease, durability and convenience for those who who want to get the construction done quickly and effectively.

What is modular construction?

Modular construction is the construction process in which modules are constructed in the manufacturing facility, which is offsite. These modules are then reassembled at the construction site to complete the look.

The thought that modular construction means a compromise on quality and durability would be grossly unfair because the same kind of material used in the conventional methods is used, but the only difference is that the process is fast and efficient.

How is modular construction cheaper than traditional construction?

When it comes to comparing modular construction with traditional construction, the former gains an edge in financial terms and the reasons behind the same are:

  • Construction methodology: The techniques and processes involved in modular construction make this process cost-efficient compared to the conventional method. There is strictly no compromise on the quality of material used during the construction of modules.
  • Fast: The speed at which the modular construction happens is unbeatable. The overall cost of labour and material falls in line with budget if the work gets completed in time. Moreover, there is a specialised taskforce for every segment, which helps achieve economies of scale and make the entire process quick and painless.
  • Closed facility: Since the modules are manufactured in closed facilities, wear and tear due to climatic conditions gets reduced, and thus the ripple effect passes down on the final cost, which is lower than the overall cost of traditional methods.

Portable Buildings - Some Unique Advantages

Portable buildings are also known as modular buildings or demountable buildings. They are specifically designed structures that can be moveable and transported to another site without the full procedures of deconstruction and reconstruction. Although portable buildings have been around for many years, they are currently growing in use and popularity. Although they are generally smaller than regular constructions, there are many advantages that portable constructions can offer that most normal buildings cannot. Portable buildings, for example, are much more affordable than regular buildings. If the case is that one needs a place to store a large amount of items or merchandise, purchasing a portable construction and using it as storage space would be much more affordable in the long run than renting out a warehouse or some normal building space. They are also much easier to build than regular constructions, resulting in a decrease in costs and construction time. This can come as a gr

Six Reasons You May Need Modular Space

  Who would have thought that something like mobile phones would change the means of communication, or a sleek laptop and a chair even in a coffee shop will be counted as your office? When the changes are happening at supersonic speed, the field of construction too has been a witness to such global transformation. The requirements are turbulent and to cater to the vast spread needs, construction has undergone dynamic changes and modular space accounts for the major transition. What is Modular Space? A modular space consists of prefabricated modules that are constructed away from the site, using the same material used in conventional construction with the only difference that the construction happens in a closed and regulated environment and there is consistency in the quality of material used. Once the modules are ready, these are assembled at the intended site. Why do you need modular space? Sudden requirements for accommodation cannot be met with the conventional construction
