For those who do not control about modular construction is understood as prefabricated houses or demountable buildings, perfect for emergency situations. However, they are not correct and in this article, we will explain why. Keep reading!
Modular construction: what is it?
It is a construction process according to which, the building is built outside its final location, in a controlled manner. However, the process helps to control costs and reduce execution times but without losing quality standards.
The base are modules, developed independently but are better able to withstand transport and handling during assembly.
The durability of modular construction
The permanent modular constructions can be integrated in the initial project or as an annex, that is to say, there is a building made and the new construction is added with all the elements: installation, final details and accessories.
The industrialization of construction
We can find that the modular construction has different approaches, depending on the degree of industrialization applied, ie in some cases the modules are complete and already have floor, walls, ceilings, … even the facilities. In other cases, the module will be the skeleton and will simply reduce the work on the work.
Thus, modular construction is a process of industrialization that helps to grow the construction sector and creates, in an efficient and more sustainable way, buildings that allow to control and reduce economic expenditure, the execution time. But it also allows greater control of quality and greater control in the safety of workers.
