Modular housing houses are being used for many housing projects today. They have surged in popularity, making their demand rise for various projects worldwide. The homes are manufactured in a factory setting then delivered in different complete sections to a customer. The delivery is then followed by assembling of the building at a permanent location. The units are usually made in an enclosed building where they are not affected by the environmental condition, which reduces the time taken as well as the cost.
Take a short time
The building of the foundation and the structure of the units in the plant may take place simultaneously. This means that while the units in the plant are being assembled into one or more units, the foundation at the location of the building could be going through construction. This ensures no time is wasted. The making of prefabrication takes place in a shorter time than the building of an onsite building. The time taken on construction can be cut into the quarter.
Cheaper
modular housing construction can cut from 20% to 30% of the cost. The labour costs have also ministered since there are no workers contracted by the developer to construct the building. Instead, the plant employees do all activities equipment is also needed since the house is already prefabricated.
The building is not affected by the weather
The making of the prefabricated, house takes place indoors. This means that the external conditions do not at any point interfere with the construction process. Construction can be done at any time of the year without having any effect from the weather. Erection at the site is also quick, and there is an excellent choice in weather conditions. The rapid building makes sure the developer experience fewer disruptions in their activities.
Quality control
The investor, before making an order, shops around, and the company most likely to meet the quality he wants. He also gets to choose the housing design that he wants. This ensures that the investor gets good quality construction services. The plant making the prefab also notes challenges early and proceeds to rectify them immediately.
Less site traffic
The number of trucks and laborers at the site is reduced. The materials are delivered to the manufacturing plant, removing close to 80% activities of the construction from the site. There are fewer disruptions on the construction activities from vehicles which increase productivity and safety of the website.
Aesthetics
Modular buildings can be designed differently from the onsite buildings. They give a chance for creativity to take place. Most modular houses tend to have more celebrated aesthetic designs than standard construction buildings. The architects ensure that the building is not only of the highest quality but also matches the historical character of the given area. The developer also gives his view and ideas on the concept of modular construction.
Stronger
The structures of the modular houses are built to withstand long transportation hours from the plant to the site. This is also accompanied by craning the units into foundations. Since the units are secure, when put together and sealed, they form a secure roof assembly, wall, and floor.
